Preserving memories for humans & pets with timeless, candid photos that you will love & cherish forever
inclusivity
Everyone deserves to see themselves through the work of a photographer that truly hears & sees them. Alyssa creates a safe, inclusive, compassionate space for people of any background, color, gender, shape, size & spiritual beliefs.
Core Values
charity
Alyssa has always had a soft spot for animals & donates a portion of her proceeds to animal rescues. She also photographs rescues for free so they can have the best adoption profile photos.
preservation
Whether it’s a wedding, proposal, pregnancy, graduation or business milestone, once the moment is passed, memories & photos are all we have.. but the thing is memories fade & photos are forever. Alyssa is so passionate about helping people preserve these moments & wishes more people didn’t let them fly by because it hurts to hear how many people wish they just did the photoshoot after the moment passed.

Imagine photos of your pets like this on your wall, bringing brightness & joy to the room, or on your phone, making you smile every time you unlock it. The thing is.. pets are such a big part of of our lives but they’re never around long enough & we can’t let these fleeting moments pass us by. Don’t wait to fill your home & phone with the cutest, more heart-warming photos of your fur baby.
They deserve a moment to shine
Alyssa already knows what you’re thinking..
“My pet would never sit still.. They’re too crazy, not trained, too reactive, deaf, blind, old” etc.
She’s heard it ALL & every single person who’s given her a chance to prove them wrong, was so happy they gave it a chance & completely overjoyed with their experience & photos.
Theres a reason Alyssa named her business Shine Pet Photography.. She really does believe, without a doubt that ALL pets are family & deserve their moment to SHINE. She has the experience, knowledge, tricks & training to ensure each session is customized to the needs of the pet to ensure fun & success.

OH MY GOODNESS!
Alyssa did such an amazing job. I wasn't sure how the photos would turn out since he was all over the place during the shoot but they are AMAZING. I can't wait to hang them all over my house.

Alyssa is very patient & determined to get the perfect shot of my fur baby. Not only was she very kind, she always let the dog lead on what was comfortable for them. Capturing the best, most precious photos of my doggo.

Alyssa is an incredible talent & her passion is evident in the questions she asks up front, her timely & thorough communications, her spirit & the great meticulous care she takes in each image. She was able to capture our senior dog with cancer so perfectly. I was in tears after the first image. Just book the session... for yourself, or as a gift for an animal lover in your life.
