Hey there! My name is Alyssa and I am a wedding and portrait photographer. My passion is photographing people, though I enjoy shooting nature too, particularly flowers! I am 20, and have been taking photography seriously for about four years now.

As a very young child I was always fascinated by cameras. I remember my mom giving her old point & shoot film camera to me as a toy because it didn't work anymore. I would have so much fun with it though! I would point it at objects, press the shutter and just love hearing that click! I would fascinate over having an actual working camera someday with film so I could actually see the photos! So perhaps my eye for photography began here. ;)

When I got my first digital camera in 2004, I was in heaven. In my final two grades of highschool I joined my school photo club and that is where my passion grew, as well as here on dA which I joined in 2006. I honestly cannot describe how much being a part of the dA community has helped me grow as a photographer these past 3 years. The advice, constructive criticism and encouragement of the artists on here have really helped me immensely.

I am incredibly thankful as to where I am today and want to give the same support to artists & photographers that was given to me. I am still young and have much to learn, but I would love to offer my help with what I have learned so far to anyone who needs it.

So please don't hesitate to ask me questions, send me a comment, a note. I'd love to be a friend and help you out any way I can with your photography. :)

First Daily Deviation & Watcher Features!! :)

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 28, 2009, 3:37 AM
First Daily Deviation

Wow, I can hardly believe it. The day has come where I have received a daily deviation! You bet I had watery eyes and was jumping up and down like a child on Christmas when I received the notification.



A huge thank you to Ed $Morris88 for suggesting the image and ^estudio for featuring. :thanks:




Watcher Features

Now I was originally working on a different journal entry, but then I received the Daily Deviation and wanted to update with that first! It's been over six months since my last journal entry, my bad! Hopefully I can get around to finishing that. For now I am eating chocolate covered coffee beans to stay awake as I write this at 3:30am (yes, this is a regular routine). I just wanted to feature some of my wonderful watchers that I'm so thankful for! :aww:

First of all, a watcher that I've been watching as well, the talented photographer *PicTd, one of the top wedding photographers in Ireland. Special thanks to him for all the incredible advice and help he has given me, specifically for wedding photography. He's been there helping me right from the first wedding I photographed. The night before my first wedding I remember he was replying to my frantic notes on dA and encouraging me. So thanks a ton for the support and inspiration Tom! :)

Hey Jericka! Yeah, I asked her if you had a dA cause she said you were asking about my DD. You have some neat photos up. Cute frog photos. :O :aww: Glad to see you shoot Canon too. ;P Haha, well let me know when you remember! Sorry to hear you are sick! Hope you feel better soon. We should meet up with Michelle sometime for photos. :)
