After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to take a step back from work and social media until further notice.
I’m not the photographer I once was. My delivery isn’t the fastest anymore, my photos aren’t the best quality, I think I’ve cried over the same photo , 4 times a week because I would be spending 2 hours looking at one photo because I would second guess myself. Feeling that I’m unworthy to capture anyone’s memories. I thought a change of scenery would maybe help but turns out it’s only made it worse. And from that, I have failed.
I have failed myself and my clients and the love and art of photography. I am always the first one to encourage anyone’s work, hype woman to all. I’ve turned down people and gave them to others not because I didn’t want to work with them, but I truly believe I can’t give anyone the best quality of work I thought I could and I know memories like these need someone who will honor those memories beautifully.
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me, booked with me, shared my work, or simply encouraged me along the way. Your kindness has meant more than you know.
For anyone currently looking for photographers while I’m away, I highly recommend supporting other talented creatives in the area. There are so many amazing photographers who deserve the love and support.

This isn’t goodbye forever — just time I need for myself, healing, and figuring things out. Thank you all for understanding and respecting my space during this time. ❤️
To all the clients who I’ve talked to about shoots and items this year you are still receiving said photo items and shoots but if you would like you to check with another photographer I understand!
With Sincere Love and Gratitude,
Alyssa L Garrison.
