connecticut family photographer
hey friends! I'm Alyssa! I'm a lifestyle and family photographer based out of central connecticut. I'm so glad you're here! please feel free to take a look around here. if you like what you see, head over to my contact section to begin inquiring about a session with me!












Connecticut family photographer based out of hartford county but servicing all of connecticut. and parts of massachusetts, rhode island, and others parts of new england. motherhood is really one of my most favorite things to photograph. that includes maternity, newborn, children, and families. my family sessions are play-based. they tell a story of who your family is at this exact moment in time. we run, have tickle parties, and give eskimo kisses. we fly babies in the air and play ring around the rosie. in my sessions, you come prepared to simply enjoy being with your family for the night, while allowing me to document it all.
When I found out I was pregnant, I looked at almost every photographer in Connecticut trying to find someone with beautiful pictures and whose prices were reasonable. Alyssa’s pictures stood out above all the rest.
My husband isn’t a fan of taking pictures, but even he didn’t mind our session with Alyssa since she’s so quick, efficient, and makes you feel completely at ease. She tells you exactly where to stand and pays attention to every little detail — from your hair to your outfit — the things you’d notice and care about in your final photos.
Her photos always turn out stunning. They’re so clear, bright, and clean, and she has such a gift for capturing natural, candid moments. Every time we get our gallery back, we are amazed! We will treasure these pictures forever!
Her mini sessions are our absolute favorite! They’re so quick and easy (which is perfect with a baby), but somehow she still manages to give you too many incredible photos to choose from — honestly, that’s the hardest part!
We’ll definitely continue using her for all of our family photos. I can’t recommend her enough! ♥️
I recently had the privilege of working with Alyssa for a family shoot that included our terminally ill dog, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Alyssa's professionalism shone through as she took the time to understand our needs and emotions during a sensitive time.
Her flexibility in scheduling and willingness to accommodate our dog's condition made the experience so much easier for my family.
The final photos are nothing short of stunning, capturing the love and joy of our family beautifully. Alyssa's talent is evident in every shot, and we are grateful for the memories she helped us create. Thank you, Alyssa, for your exceptional work!
We’ve had Alyssa Ashley Photography do our family photos for four years in a row and she continues to blow us away! On top of being super friendly, responsive and flexible, she’s also a wiz with retouching! While in the session she’s quick to capture awesome images and her turn around time is super fast. I look forward to our sessions every year and can’t recommend her enough to people looking for a photographer that will be amazing at capturing your family in photos that will be enjoyed for generations.
