Hello, I'm Alise

Birth + Motherhood Photographer AND
BIRTH + POSTPARTUM DOULA

I specialize in birth work because that's what feeds my soul. I long to be a villager for women and believe every journey to motherhood deserves to be told with authenticity and love.


When I'm not behind the camera or attending a birth, you can find me binge watching a cop drama show, baking a new sweet treat or fishing with my family.

my Philosophy

 

As a mom of three, I know family photos can feel overwhelming - trying to get your kids to sit still and smile at the camera, but we don't do that around here. They can run and play, and we'll follow right behind them. The images you cherish most in 40 years won't be those picture perfect ones. They'll be the ones of you playing, laughing, the way your children look at you, their tiny toes, etc. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable during these moments.


For my birth moms, I believe in the power of instinctive and primal birth. I believe in trusting your body to birth your baby, in being educated enough to make informed decisions, and that having a safe and nurturing environment is vital to every brith and mother.


These moments in life are so special because you can never get them back. You can never experience meeting your baby for the first time again or watching your partner become a parent for the first tine again, or your children becoming big siblings, or those last few weeks breastfeeding. I'm here to capture those for you.

Kind words from

Christianna s.

Alise is INCREDIBLE!!! On top of being a wonderful person, she is extremely talented and skilled in her craft. I had seen her work long before I decided to do maternity pictures of my own, and all of her sessions are absolutely stunning. She made me feel so beautiful in my maternity pictures (I was really nervous), and I am obsessed with how they came out. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
