I’M ALYSSA, BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME LYSS.

(she/her)

Lyss, Alyssa, whatever pleases you!

My whole life, I have heard constantly from family members "wow, I wish I had a photo of this moment" or "yeah I can't find any photos of _____". Too many times, it's the situation where there is one family member or friend that is always the photo taker, never the model. My goal is to be the photo taker as an extension of your family, to capture the memories as they are.

I love being there to help you through every step of the planning process. I will make the process of choosing your photo session outfits and locations a breeze, or help you put together a photography-friendly wedding day timeline, and for my lovebirds, being a professional third-wheel on the big day!

My favourite part of what I do is getting to know my couples on a personal level! I like learning about the story of how you met and getting to know your personalities. This will help me make your images more personal to you. I've found the more comfortable my couples feel with me, the more natural they look in their photos!

My style follows a documentary-esque approach. With the change in seeing loved ones due to you know what, I found it was ever so important to capture memories as if that missing person was there themselves. The photos I take are a timeless approach that avoid heavy filters to ensure they are still in style for many years to come.

MY TOP FOUR

01. Cats, give me all of the snuggly, fluffy babies.

02. A cold brew from Starbucks that I probably won’t finish, like ever.

03. Matching loungewear. My groutfit is worn on the daily.

04. Winners/Homesense. Any day. Any time. For any reason.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For weddings, the number of photos included is based on the number of hours of coverage you have booked. I typically deliver 60-80 photos per hour of shooting. I don’t put a limit on the number of photos I deliver, since every wedding is different. You’ll receive the best of the best; I won’t leave anything out.
For graduation sessions. individual/duo’s receive 60-80 photos on average, with groups receiving 30-40 individual shots (each person) and lots more group shots with friends!

All other sessions receive 80-100 photos delivered depending on the amount of people, location, etc.
All photos are delivered via digital gallery that you are able to download from to your heart’s content!
For weddings, all photos get delivered within 8-12 weeks of your big day with a preview gallery sent within the first week after, so you can have professional photos to share ASAP!
For all other sessions, photo delivery is guaranteed within 4-6 weeks unless communicated otherwise.
No worries my friend! I believe photos should reflect your true personality and vibe. That’s why I use a candid approach to wedding days and lifestyle sessions! For those “smile at the camera shots” I am there every step of the way to guide you on how to stand, encourage natural smiles and play around with movement to feel less statue-like.
Yes! Although I am based in Peterborough, being originally from Brampton makes travelling super easy. Also, give me all of the elopement ideas. I love exploring new places and meeting new faces.

“Alyssa really did capture my extended family in all its happy moments. She was flexible (the day ended up raining heavily on us) and artistic to make the best of an unplanned situation. We will cherish these photo's forever.”
