MAINE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Candid, documentary family photography on film in Maine

I’m a Maine-based family photographer, who loves to document everyday family life and human connection. I believe there is magic in the ordinary that demands to be seen; imperfect, authentic moments in time that tell your story. Much of my work comes from a commitment to showcasing real & diverse families. Want to photograph a lazy Sunday morning making breakfast, a trip to the beach in the summer with the cousins, or an evening neighborhood stroll and storytime? I will be there to document those little and big moments that make your life yours!

What makes my family photography approach different?

As a Maine family photographer I travel throughout the state (and beyond) to document families in their homes and all of their favorite, special places. I want your pictures to reflect who you truly are, and through a careful, candid, and slow process of observing I create art with you. My approach is grounded in empathy and intentionality - creating non-traditional family photographs on analog film that celebrate real, everyday life.

In the last three years alone, I’ve worked with over 100 families to tell their story through unique photographs, and in 2025 I was named in the top 20 family photographers ‘Ones to Watch’ list by Heartful Magazine. I offer a variety of packages to celebrate both the everyday and life transitions. Family, newborn, and maternity offerings can be viewed here.

About me: based in Midcoast Maine, available to travel nationwide

I am a Maine family photographer based in the Midcoast, specializing in documentary film photography. Growing up with a grandmother equally in love with photography, I was introduced early to the magic of 35mm film. Nowadays, I am happiest with several film cameras in hand & use this medium to photograph people and the wild, precious lives we all lead. I bring a calm, laid back energy to the quiet afternoons I get to spend photographing families, and the special weekends documenting weddings.

What families say

“I knew they'd be sweet but you really exceeded my expectations! I am stunned and so in love with them. These will seriously be probably the most special photos of my entire life.” - Ashley

“Literally obsessed. I can’t wait to print them out and frame a few.” - Meg

“We cannot recommend Alyssa enough! She will make you feel comfortable, make your shoot feel effortless and give you cinematic, timeless photographs. My husband declared them “Some of the coolest photos he’s ever seen.” We can’t wait to work with her again!” - Rebekah

“She brought her creative eye and photographer magic to a session at our house, an island, and the beach. Our images are nostalgic keepsakes that completely captured the feelings we had as we welcomed our second daughter. We can’t wait to work with her again and we never hesitate recommending her to anyone looking for family photos.” - Sam
