Through Anlyssa’s Lens

Just a little reminder: going forward, I’ll be putting this on every Stranger Session post. 💗

I will never tolerate hate or negativity toward anyone on my page. Everyone who participates in these sessions is putting themselves out there and trusting me with their experience, and I want this to always be a positive and supportive space. 🫶🏼

You don’t have to agree with everyone or every connection, but please always be respectful.
There is a real person on the other side of every post. 🌸

Much love, and thank you for helping me keep this a positive space! 💕

Stranger Session #4 is here! 📸💗

Emma & Hayden ✨

I think I paired the male and female versions of each other with these two. 😂

These two were SO unserious together, and it was honestly hilarious to watch. They picked on each other the entire time and absolutely did not hold back! From the very beginning, their personalities just bounced off each other so well.

It was one of those sessions where you can’t help but sit back and enjoy watching them because you never know what they’re going to say or do next.

They even exchanged a form of communication on their phones, so we’ll see where this connection goes! 👀

No matter what happens from here, I know they both had a great time and made a pretty funny memory together! 🫶🏼

Updates and photos coming soon! 🌸📸

I’d love the chance to help local businesses please share!🤍

Hey everyone! 💕 My Stranger Sessions and mother stranger sessions have gotten some of my biggest engagement and support, with one reaching over 5 million views, another reaching 400,000+ views, another at 300,000+ and many others getting tons of love and support! 🥹📸

I’d love to use that engagement as a way to give some local businesses some love and shout them out, while also giving my stranger matches a fun and unique experience! I’m looking for local businesses along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, in Mobile, or surrounding areas that would be interested in partnering with me! (Maybe in different states as well if I end up traveling to people)

I’d love to create some unique experiences for the two strangers who are matched, where they can do an activity privately, just the two of them, while I capture the experience! 🥰

✨ SOME IDEAS I HAVE: ✨

🌿 Small wellness businesses
🐄 Local farms
🎮 Arcades
🛶 Kayak/paddleboard businesses
🎨 Local artists who offer private lessons
🧁 Cake decorating businesses
👩‍🍳 Cooking classes
🔐 Escape rooms
🧺 Picnic companies
🍦 Ice cream shops
⛳ Mini golf
🎱 Playing pool
☕ Coffee shops
🍽️ Restaurants
🎨 Painting
🎳 Bowling

These are just some ideas, but I’m absolutely open to anything outside of this list! If you own a local business and would love to participate by letting me use your space or offering an experience for two strangers to enjoy together, I’d love for you to reach out! ❤️

In return, I’d give your business attention and promotion through my posts, videos, and Stranger Session content while showcasing the experience you provide.

If you own a local business or know someone who might be interested, please comment or message me saying that you’re a business! I’d love to hear your ideas and see what we can create together! 📸💕

It’s official y’all… I’ve been doing Through Anlyssa’s Lens for a WHOLE YEAR now! 😭📸🤍

I’m so incredibly grateful for every single person who has trusted me to capture their special moments. I truly love what I do, and I’m so blessed that I get to create memories for so many amazing people! 🥹💕

I’m also beyond grateful for all of the support I’ve received from the Stranger Sessions and now the Mother Stranger Sessions! 🥹💐

Thank you all for supporting my little business and sticking around. I can’t wait to see what this next year brings! 🤍📸

First, I just want to say THANK YOU so much for all the support for my Mother Stranger Sessions and regular Stranger Sessions! 🥹💕

I’m already starting to pair more moms together, and I’m so excited to see where these friendships go! 🫶🏼

If y’all would like to see more of the process behind either session—from matching to the actual photoshoot—let me know! 👀📸

I have some more ideas coming like.. so stay tuned!!

And seriously, thank you for all the positivity, encouragement, and love in the comments. It means more than y’all know! 💕

Would we love to see DAD STRANGER SESSIONS?! 👀

Just like my Mama Stranger Sessions, but this time… for the dads! 😂

Two dads who have never met, brought together for a fun activity + a photoshoot with the goal of making a new friend!

Think pool 🎱, golf ⛳️, fishing 🎣, sports 🏈, or just hanging out and talking!

Would y’all want to see this happen?! 👀👇

The only problem is getting men to sign up so if you think this would be something everyone would like, let me know!!💕

💐 Mother Stranger Session #1 💐

Two moms. Two complete strangers. One session that neither of them really knew what to expect from… and somehow, it turned into the beginning of a friendship. 🤍

AK said:

“I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into the session, but we seemed to connect so naturally! Even the similarities between us are still crazy to me, and we’ve found even more since 😂 We’ve texted pretty often, and we finally hung out Saturday! I can definitely see this turning into a real friendship, but regardless of where it goes, I’m so glad this experience brought us together 🥰”

And Mary Ashlynne said:

“The experience was great, awkward, but great. We did make plans. I went over to her house for a wine and bites birthday party last weekend. Not only do we have more in common than we thought, so do our kids lol.”

And THIS is exactly why I love creating these sessions. 💐

You never know who you’re going to meet, what you’ll have in common, or what can come from simply stepping outside your comfort zone and saying yes.

Sometimes you get pictures. Sometimes you get a new friend. And sometimes… your kids end up having just as much in common as you do. 😂🤍

So happy these two said yes to meeting a stranger. 💐🥰

Mother Stranger Session #1 — definitely a success! 🌷

(This is an original idea that myself and my friend brainstormed but I’ve seen people getting upset saying I don’t own this idea which I’m sure other people have came up with this idea on their own as well! But personally I’ve never seen a mother stranger shoot ever but I’m sure somewhere other people have because there’s plenty of creative people out there so this is an original idea of mine but I’m sure this was ALSO an original idea for other photographers! All in all I think there should be more mother stranger sessions from everyone because mothers deserve a village)
All love💕

Don’t forget to go find their meeting video!!
