Ballet Flats ✨

My beautiful cousin Evelyn Lyman is a professional ballerina for the Sarasota Cuban Ballet and it’s always a dream to take her photos whenever she’s in town 💖

3 years ago I started a shop on Etsy. But for 3 years, I let the fear of failure, perfectionism, and other priorities get in the way of actually setting it up. Well, as I’ve been telling myself for the past couple months, “the only person standing in my way is me, and I quit doing that yesterday” (thank you Jon Acuff). I still have more photos to add and better descriptions to write, but I finally did it.

My print shop is now live on Etsy! I can’t wait for my photos to hang in your homes and brighten up walls! I hope my photography can inspire others and serve as a reminder of God’s awe-inspiring creations and the light and beauty that surrounds us – but I need your help:

Etsy doesn’t really care about new shops until they have at least 5 sales and 5, 5-star reviews. I would LOVE your help achieving this goal! For the next week, everything on my shop is 50% off, so for less than $20, you can order an 8x10 of your favorite photo for yourself or to gift to a friend. If you do order a print, please make sure to leave a review!

If you’d love to support my shop but can’t spend the extra money right now, here are some free things you can do: click the link below and take a quick look at my Etsy shop! If you have an extra minute, create an Etsy account and “follow” my shop! You can even “save” a few of your favorite photos. All those clicks and interactions tells the Etsy algorithm that my photos are worth showing to people when they search for things on Etsy!

Even simply sharing this post to help me spread the word would mean the world to me.

Thank you for helping my dreams come true ✨

❤ Alyssa

This is me manifesting… I would LOVE to photograph more dancers!! Dance photography is the perfect blend (in my opinion) of portraiture and fine art photography. Dancers have always been one of my favorite subjects to photograph! I’m always amazed by their athleticism and artistry. It’s so much fun to work with dancers to showcase their skills and bring their creative vision to life. If you know a dancer, could you do me a favor and send this to them? And if YOU are a dancer with a creative vision who has been dying to work with a photographer, I would LOVE to collaborate with you! To help build up my dance photography portfolio I’m offering FREE creative dance photography sessions for the next few months! I’d love to do as many as I’m available for so if this is something you’re interested in, please reach out!! 🥳❤️💃

I was in photographer heaven for Erin & Easton’s engagement photos!! They took us up to Easton’s family’s private property and everywhere we turned were the most amazing views and trees! I probably took pictures for longer than they wanted me to haha but it was just so beautiful and they’re so dang cute!!
