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!

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

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 […]
