oh hey there!
My name is Alyssa Jean Parker; wife, photographer, lover of Jesus and all things cute! I love serving smiles and capturing memories in the beautiful Hudson Valley, NY. My services include: bump-to-baby photography (maternity to first birthday/cake smashes), an event photo booth, and occasional mini sessions where most family portraits take place! I'd love to capture your best memories next! Take a look around my site and contact me with any and all questions!

Frequently Asked Questions
Turnaround time for edits
Most portrait sessions are 2-3 weeks. (Don’t worry I’ll send some preview pictures to ease the wait!)
Outfits/props
There is no such thing as over-communication with this topic. If you have a vision let’s talk and browse ideas to get exactly what you’re looking for. But if not - IT IS TOTALLY OKAY! This is probably one of my favorite parts of the process, so do NOT feel bad if all you know is you want professional photos done, but don’t really have any vision of what you want. I am honestly super happy to throw lots of creative ideas at you.
Fun fact: My parents used to call me tinkerbell when I was younger because I was always tinkering with the most random old junk and using it to make something new and pretty, wether it be a spool of thread for a dollhouse nightstand, or sea shells I found at the beach to make into earrings. Let’s get artsy!

All clients will be sent an invoice and contract via HoneyBook where you can make payments through a secure online portal. Deposit is typically due within 7 days of invoice send date and the remaining balance due one month (weddings) or one week (portraits) before the session.

For portrait sessions - we'll discuss your vision, set a date and location and then I'll email an invoice where you'll be able to pay a 25% deposit to lock in your session.
portrait locations
If you're looking for outdoor scenery and don't have a specific spot in mind, I can suggest a list of local parks or fields that I like to use. I also have a small studio room available located in Poughquag, NY (this space is an upstairs bedroom and is not handicap accessible). Newborn sessions are typically done in the client's home, but the studio room is also an option!
