Hi, I'm Alyssa

 

 

Storyteller

 

I first picked up a camera after getting one for Christmas when I was younger, and I’ve loved taking photos ever since. Growing up, I learned how important it is to hold onto the moments that matter — the small, everyday pieces of life that tell our story.


To me, Wild Haven means finding peace in the chaos — a reminder that love, laughter, and growth often bloom in life's wildest moments. I’ve always loved wildflowers and ferns — simple things that grow and thrive wherever they are. To me, they represent strength, sincerity, and new beginnings. I try to reflect that in the people I photograph.


My husband, Tanner, and I grew up in Dansville, New York and are high school sweethearts. Tanner joined the military right out of high school, and life has taken us from New York to Georgia and back again. We’re now stationed at Fort Drum with our baby girl and two dogs.


I’m a nurse, now stay-at-home mom, and being back in New York made me want to pick up my camera again. There’s just something about this state — the changing seasons, the mountains, the crisp breeze, and especially the fall, that always inspires me. I love that there’s so much to do outdoors and that I’m close to family again.


I’m a lifestyle and senior photographer, currently based in Fort Drum, New York. My sessions are relaxed and intentional. I’ll guide you through poses so you never feel stiff or unsure, but I’ll also leave room for genuine laughter and connection.


My goal is to create images that remind you of what really matters; the people, places, and moments that make life feel full. I believe love is love, and Wild Haven is a space where everyone is welcome and celebrated.


Welcome to Wild Haven — where your memories have room to breathe and bloom.
