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!

Whimsical Styled Shoot at Kensington Cove Farm | Chattanooga Wedding Photographer When Betsy asked me to be one of the three photographers for a styled shoot at Kensington Cove Farm, my fingers sped across my keyboard to quickly answer, “YES!” For a while now, I’ve been watching Betsy and her family’s labor of love as […]

front porch session of the bibb family with alyssa rachelle photography in chattanooga, tennessee

During the pandemic, Little House on the Market and I partnered to giveaway a front porch session to a special family. The idea of a front porch session is the cutest and a unique way to remember this crazy season! Kayla Bibb entered her family and won! I’m so glad she did, because I’ve been […]

Bibb Front Porch Session

Have you ever paid attention to the color of pain on your front door? Or any door? I hadn’t really until we moved into our current home. We were blessed to move into a new construction, but there were a few things I looked forward to making “ours.” One of those project included painting our […]

home garden in southeast tennessee

Like everyone else and their mother, we started a home garden during the COVID-19 quarantine. I’m not one to jump on bandwagons, but we’d been talking about it for some time, and with food shortages and other concerns during the pandemic, we decided to go for it! Gardening is foreign to me. Thankfully, Jimmy’s family […]

Our Home Garden in Southeast Tennessee

Berenice’s 27th birthday session was a blessing for ME. We celebrated with a flower field photo shoot! Although several friends offered to take pictures for her, her heart wanted to support a small business effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. BLESS HER SOUL!!! Isn’t that the sweetest thing?! I never stop being surprised at how the […]

Calf Photoshoot on Andi’s Family Farm

I’ve started getting some questions about my favorite household appliance, tools, and products since I started sharing some about my yearly household cleaning and maintenance routine on Instagram. So, I’ll be sharing those with you every now and again! It only made sense to start off by sharing my favorite household appliance—the Dyson V11 Cordless […]

My Favorite Household Appliance

I’ve looked forward to Spring 2020 for so many reasons, but by far, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the flowering trees to bloom for portrait sessions! I found my favorite spots a year ago. Since then, my calendar has been marked with reminders. I was very bummed when the coronavirus began happening, because I knew that […]

What is a First Look? First Looks are AWESOME! However, not everyone’s aware of how awesome they are because they get caught up in how “non-traditional” it is. So they immediately write it off. Did you know that I was almost one of those brides?! In this post, I’m sharing what I believe every Bride […]

kaelibeth's colorado springs session with alyssa rachelle photography

So, it’s been a hot minute since these photos were taken. I’ve been so busy with my “paid” work, a toddler, and COVID-19 fallouts, that personal galleries, like Kaelibeth’s Colorado Springs Session haven’t been able to be a priority. One good things about the coronavirus pandemic is that it has forced my life to slow […]

Kaelibeth’s Colorado Springs Session

What better way to get away than to take a sister trip to the Biltmore Estate and the Asheville area?! As a work-from-home-mom, I’ve been in dire need of a getaway with someone who I could completely be myself with. You know, the kind of friend you can just do nothing with, but that completely […]

beckett's 18 month milestone session

Wow! How am I writing about Beckett’s 18-month milestone session?! How are we officially parents to a toddler?! Some days it feels like time has gone fast, but in other ways (particularly on days full of tantrums) it has felt very long, ha! Either way, it calls for a milestone session! We feel so blessed. […]
