"Alissa was amazing when taking photos for my sons prom. She was very professional on time and accommodating when it came to the different places we wanted to take pictures. The photos she took were absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad she was able to capture this moment for us. The turnaround time after taking and editing the photos was fast. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again."

"Alissa was fantastic when she took family photos for my husband, daughter, and I. She was so creative and had so many ideas that were unique to our family that you could tell she cares very much about what she does. She was very flexible with timing and had everything we needed ready for us when we got to her studio. Would highly recommend Alissa McDonald Photography!!! We love Alissa🩷🩷🩷"

"We had the pleasure of working with Alyssa, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was incredibly patient & kind, taking her time with our three energetic (and chaotic!) children. Despite the unpredictability of the evening, she completely focused on capturing the beauty in the chaos.

Alyssa went above and beyond to make sure every moment counted. What I expected to be a hectic and overwhelming session turned into a gallery of stunning, heartfelt photos that truly took my breath away. She managed to freeze those fleeting, real-life moments in the most beautiful way.

Thank you so much 🩷"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3x

Alissa took couples photos of Quentin and me, and they came out absolutely beautiful! She delivered both colored and black-and-white photos, which gave us such a nice variety. What really stood out was how well she directed us — that’s something so rare to find! I’ve had photos taken before, and while many photographers know how to take pictures, few truly know how to guide you through poses naturally. This really let me know how professional and talented she really is!!

Alissa made the whole experience fun and comfortable, never awkward. She even gave us a few moments just to be ourselves and enjoy the moment — and somehow, those ended up being some of the best photos!

I 100% would book her again and recommend her over and over again. "

"As a family, we try our best to get together as often as possible because we know all too well what loss feels like and how much we wish we had more family pictures to look back on. We are truly blessed to have such a talented photographer within our family. Aside from being my beautiful girl, her level of professionalism and creativity completely surpassed my expectations.

Every shot was organized and thoughtfully preplanned, which is an absolute must when you have four little ones who only want to run through the field lol. She made the entire experience smooth, fun, and memorable.

I highly recommend her for capturing those special moments that are simply too precious to miss.
