Alyson Berg Photography

Alyson Berg Photography Ventura and Los Angeles County full service portrait photographer specializing in luxury maternity,

Thousand Oaks California newborn and family lifestyle photographer. After working for 8 years at a local photography studio, I have developed a passion for photographing the beautiful and unique moments that make each family special. I strive to capture the true nature of each family and the interactions between its members. I absolutely love photographing newborns and the precious sweetness they

bring to the world. As a new mom myself, I find it ever so important to not only document milestones, but the day to day routines in between. Life moves so quickly, and if you don't capture it in a photograph, it can be easy to forget.

One of my favorite things about branding photography is watching what happens after the session.

I’ve had the privilege of photographing Lina Dion-Inglis , founder of Joy Lab - Ceramics in Community , for two sessions; first was a headshot mini and the second was custom branding. It’s been amazing to watch as the images we create together become more than beautiful photos.

The portraits we created together have helped shape the visual direction of her brand.

When we met for her most recent brand strategy appointment, I had her describe how she wants her brand to feel: colorful, creative, playful, mixed with a little of the unexpected. What resulted are images that are completely and unmistakably Lina.

These portraits became part of the inspiration and visual language for her website, helping bring the personality behind Joy Lab Ceramics to life before someone ever steps through the studio doors. And that is what great branding photography should do.
(Swipe 👉🏻 through to see the header of her website or visit www.joylab-ceramics.com to snoop all the amazingness of her site.)

Your branding images shouldn’t simply show people what you look like. They should communicate something about who you are, what you do, how you make people feel, and why someone should want to step into your world.

When your photography, website, messaging, colors, and personality all start speaking the same language, your brand becomes recognizable. It’s cohesive and memorable.

Lina has built Joy Lab Ceramics around creativity, connection, community, and of course, JOY. I love seeing the imagery we’ve created together help her tell that story.

Branding sessions should be more than just creating pretty pictures. Ultimately, we are creating the visual building blocks of your brand.

If your brand gas grown, evolved, or simply doesn’t look like you anymore, maybe it’s time to rethink the images telling your story. Let’s create branding portraits that don’t just show what you do, they show people why they want to work with you.

The Legacy Portrait Experience offer ends tonight.

Last week, on what would have been my mom’s 77th birthday, I shared my special portrait experience created in her honor.

My mom was my biggest cheerleader when I started my business. She was an incredible example of faith, family, and the importance of the people we love.

I’m celebrating her birthday by giving you an opportunity to celebrate you (and your people should you choose) and the legacy you’re creating.

Her birthday was 8/6 and so for just $86, you can reserve my Legacy Portrait Experience, valued at $900—whether that means finally stepping in front of the camera yourself, gathering your whole family together, celebrating motherhood, or creating something meaningful with the people you never want to forget.

Someday, photographs become so much more than photographs. They become part of the story we leave behind. ❤️

This special ends TONIGHT at midnight, and there are only a few remaining.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your reminder not to let it pass you by.

✨ $900 Legacy Portrait Experience
✨ Yours for $86
✨ Ends tonight at midnight

Comment LEGACY below and I’ll send you the details.

And if someone you love needs this reminder too, tag them below. ❤️

Today is my mom’s birthday. She would have been 77.

She was a woman of deep faith, endless compassion, and my biggest cheerleader. She believed in me long before I believed in myself, encouraged me to build Alyson Berg Photography, and inspired the heart behind everything I do.

I miss her every single day, but today I’d love to honor her memory in a way I know she would have loved, and that’s by celebrating others.

For the next 5 days, I’m offering The Legacy Portrait Experience, an exclusive experience valued at $900 for just $86 as a birthday tribute in her honor.

If you’ve been wanting to celebrate yourself, your family, your motherhood journey, or a new chapter in life, I’d love to create something meaningful with you.

A limited number of these experiences are available. See all the details and reserve yours through the link in the comments.

And if my mom’s story touched your heart, I’d love for you to leave a little birthday love in the comments. Every comment helps this post reach someone who may have been waiting for the perfect reason to finally step in front of the camera.

Happy birthday Mom ♥️

Tomorrow, Aug 6th, would have been my mom’s 77th birthday.

Last summer, we gathered for this family portrait. At the time, I knew I wanted an updated picture of all of us together. Her cancer had returned and I didn’t know how much longer we’d have with her.

Tomorrow, in honor of my mom, I’ll be launching The Legacy Portrait Experience, a special birthday tribute inspired by the woman who shaped the heart behind everything I do.

Portraits become so much more than photographs. They become reminders of the people we love, the stories we’ve shared, and the legacy that lives on.

I can’t wait to share it with you tomorrow. ❤️

How often do you get family portraits done?

The answer varies from one client to another.

This beautiful family comes to me every two years and they’re already on the books for October this year.

Mom loved the idea of a growing gallery wall in her living room the first time we talked in 2022. We photographed their first beach session and three of those portraits became the heart of their wall. Two years later, we returned to the beach and added four new framed portraits, capturing just how much these two kiddos had grown, while keeping the look beautifully cohesive. Swipe right and take a peak at her beautiful gallery wall. 👉

And now… it’s time for the next chapter!

This October we’re trading sand and ocean for the studio. We’re creating something different: modern, editorial, clean lines, Vogue-inspired styling, and images that feel like they belong in the pages of a magazine.

One of the greatest gifts of this work is becoming part of the lives of incredible families and having the privilege of documenting their journey year after year.

If you haven’t found your favorite photographer to document the legacy you are building, I would love to be part of yours.

For the last few weeks, I’ve been a little quiet here.

On June 23rd, my mom passed away. And it really shook me.

We knew this day would come after she made the decision in February to stop treatment for her metastatic breast cancer. But knowing it was coming didn’t make it any easier. It hit harder than I expected.

Since then, it’s been a few weeks of grief, gratitude, and reflection. And as my sister and I have gone through photographs, j keep coming back to this portrait.

I photographed my mom in 2017 while I was building my beauty and branding portfolio. At the time, I simply needed someone willing to step in front of my camera. And of course, when I asked my mom, she immediately said yes to something that would help me out.

Today, this portrait has become one of my most treasured memories. When I look at it, I don’t just see a beautiful photograph. I see the woman who believed in me before so many others did.

She encouraged me when I started Alyson Berg Photography, cared for Payton so I could photograph clients and attend networking meetings, and proudly told anyone who would listen about my work.

The older I get, the more I know that the work I do isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about honoring remarkable women, like my mom, who may or may not be good about celebrating themselves.

I’m so grateful I have this portrait, because it reminds me every day of the remarkable woman who shaped my life.

Her birthday would have been August 6th.

To celebrate her life and continue the legacy she inspired, I’m opening 12 portrait experiences at a special birthday rate. My hope is to give 12 women the opportunity to see themselves with the same love and significance my mom saw in everyone else.

If that speaks to you, send me a DM for early access or join my VIP list through the link in my bio. I’d love to share the details with you before they’re released publicly.

One day they’re a tiny bundle asleep in your arms. Then they’re a sticky hand reaching for yours as you cross the street. Before you know it, they’re wrapping you in a bear hug before walking across the stage in a cap and gown.

Motherhood is a collection of moments that feels endless while you’re living them and impossibly brief when you look back. And we always think we’ll remember it all. The late night feedings, sleepy cuddles, first steps, missing teeth, school drop-offs, and last first days.

But time has a way of quietly slipping through our fingers.

I don’t just photograph newborns, families, or milestones. I create artwork that tells the story of your motherhood journey. The season you’re in today and the chapters you’ll want to revisit years from now. Because one day, these photographs won’t just remind you what your children looked like. They’ll remind you what it felt like to hold them.

Reach out today to schedule your family portrait session!
