Hey there, I'm

Alyssa Rachelle!

I’m Alyssa—a Chattanooga and Cleveland, TN, photographer capturing family chaos (the good kind) and meaningful moments with a light and airy touch. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a wife, boymom, Enneagram 1w2, and nature lover who’s recovering from perfectionism (mostly with chai lattes and deep breaths). Here, you’ll find my latest work, tips to simplify life, and probably a laugh or two. I’m so glad you’re here—grab a coffee and dive in!
