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 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!

If you’ve wanted to do a Bible in a year plan—without getting overwhelmed, behind, or quitting by Leviticus—friend, this is for you. But can we also agree that the world is loud?

Simplify Reading the Bible in a Year with this Plan

There’s a lot of noise right now about protein and fiber. You’ve probably heard some version of “eat 1g of protein per pound of lean body weight” and “get your fiber up,” and you’re like… cool cool cool.

If tracking has ever made you feel guilty, overwhelmed, or like you’re “bad at it,” this post is for you, friend. Here’s what I’ve learned: a food tracking app doesn’t have to be used perfectly to be helpful. In fact, the whole point (for me) is awareness without shame—especially in busy seasons when “balanced meals” […]

christmas family photo shoot in cleveland tn by chattanooga family photographer alyssa rachelle photography

Six months of Gigglebutt glory. ✨ (Yes, that’s her real nickname. And yes, it fits.) Elowyn hit her six-month milestone right in the thick of the pre-Christmas sparkle, so we wandered into the cutest little Cleveland spot—industrial charm, twinkle lights, and somehow…greenery that survived the frost. And you guys. It was cold.But Elowyn was totally unbothered. Zero […]

Christmas Family Photo Shoot in Cleveland, TN

The only fall minis that didn’t play calendar hopscotch… and they turned out STUNNING. 🍂📸 Every other mini-session this fall? Still happened (praise!), but had to dodge some rain and shuffle around a bit. Not these.

Wait… how did we go from college hangouts to TWO babies in front of my camera?! 😭🍂 This session was a pinch-me-moment.
