What people say about their session
“Alyssa is phenomenal! She is a genuinely kind and positive human being who does everything she can to achieve your goals and uplift you through the project. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“I was looking to feel empowered, sensual and strong, and I can say this was one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. From the start, Alyssa was open and transparent about cost and what to expect the day of.”
“Boudoir is such a vulnerable and deeply personal style of photography. I’ve loved seeing Alyssa’s (Illuminate Boudoir) photos over the years and have been shaped by her take on boudoir- that it’s not for a spouse or partner or anyone else, but a celebration of self.”
“Everything about my experience with Alyssa was outstanding. From her clear, thoughtful communication throughout the whole planning process to her trauma-informed and consent-driven approach to photography, I was left feeling incredibly seen, supported, and celebrated.”
