Hi friends! 👋
With so many new faces passing by here lately, I thought it was a good time to reintroduce myself.
I’m Alysha — wife, mama of two, photographer, hairstylist, and professional wearer of too many hats. If you know me in real life, you know there’s a good chance you’ll find me curled up with a good thriller/mystery book, working on a Cricut project I probably started at 10 PM, doing a puzzle, coloring to unwind, or getting completely invested in a murder mystery documentary. You also know there’s about a 99% chance I have a pair of sunglasses sitting on top of my head, regardless of the weather, season, or whether I actually need them.
I’m a cat person through and through, a Dunkin’s Refresher girl, and someone who genuinely loves creating things—whether that’s a photograph, a hairstyle, a handmade gift, a business idea, or a memory with my family.
Life Through a Shutter was built from my love of people, storytelling, and helping families hold onto the seasons of life that seem to pass far too quickly. At its core, it’s really about connection. The relationships I’ve built with my clients over the years are what keep me showing up day after day. Some of you started as clients and have become friends, and getting to be a small part of your lives through so many milestones is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer. You’re getting someone who is fully invested in your experience from beginning to end. I’ll help with timelines, calm nerves, fix stray hairs, fluff dresses, keep things moving, and celebrate right alongside you. My goal is always to make you feel comfortable enough to be yourself because that’s where the magic happens.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’re brand new to my little corner of the internet, thank you for being here. I’d love to get to know you too—say hello and tell me something about yourself in the comments! ❤️

He’s always putting up with my last minute brilliant ideas. ❤️
