I’m Alyssa, the heart and creative eye behind Alyssa Kaye Photo. I specialize in creating relaxed, natural photo sessions where your family can just be.
From the moment we connect, I’m here to make it easy—sharing guides, tips, and all the support you need to feel confident. During our session, I’ll meet your kids on their level, talk to them like a friend, and never rush the moments that matter.
Whether we’re exploring a hillside or you're showing me your families favourite spot, my goal is simple: to capture your family’s story, exactly as it feels right now—authentic, unhurried, and full of heart.
Photography, for me, is about more than taking pictures. It’s about presence—creating space for connection, joy, and the unspoken magic that makes your family yours.

WILD & BEAUTIFUL
capturing life's
Hey, I'm Alyssa—Your Memory Keeper, Family & wedding Photographer based in Aberdeen.
Why work with me?
There’s no rushing here. My sessions are unhurried and joyful, designed to let you simply be. Together, we’ll create images that feel like the best version of your memories—honest, heartfelt, and uniquely yours
Now, I bring that same love of storytelling to every photoshoot. Whether we’re exploring the Scottish Highlands or capturing quiet moments at home, my goal is to give you more than photos. I want you to have keepsakes that transport you back to these days—warm, joyful, and brimming with connection.
My roots took me from Michigan’s Great Lakes, to Arizona’s deserts, the emerald woods of the Pacific Northwest, and Cape Cod’s shores before finally finding home in Scotland’s enchanting beauty. Those travels taught me that life is full of wild, beautiful stories worth remembering—and photography became my way of bringing my favourite places with me wherever I go.
I’ve always had a heart for keeping memories. As a child, I collected everything—rocks and shells from family road trips, stamps and patches from our travels, and photos of moments that felt too special to let slip away.
why i do what i do
unhurried, honest and full of heart
Imagine a photoshoot where there’s no rush, no pressure—just you and your family, soaking up the moment.
We’ll explore beautiful places, let your kids lead the way, and create space for laughter, love, and quiet moments of connection. Years from now, when you look at your photos, you’ll feel the same joy and warmth as the day they were taken. These aren’t just pictures—they’re your memories, preserved with care and heart.
A Photography Experience Rooted in Connection.
Imagine this
- If I had a signature scent, it would be: Coffee, wildflowers, and maybe a hint of rain-soaked hiking boots.
- My souvenir obsession: Rocks (pockets full—if you know, you know).
- What I do when I’m not taking photos: Hiking in the Highlands, sewing with upcycled fabrics, or chasing my son and surviving on another cup of lukewarm coffee.
- Favourite hikes lately: Lochan Uaine & Loch Muick in the Cairngorms, the stunning stretch along St Cyrus Beach, and—let’s be honest—the walk down to Liberty Kitchen Cafe.
- Where I find inspiration: Dreamy stories like Where the Wild Things Are and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, the retro sci-fi classic - The Twilight Zone, music that moves me like Florence + The Machine, Simon & Garfunkel, and First Aid Kit, and always getting out in nature.
Photography for me isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about catching the magic in real life—messy hair, muddy boots, and all—and keeping it forever.
