Completed a half IronMan

Welcome!

I'm Alyssa, a wife and mother to 2 beautiful girls.
I love to capture the beauty of every person I am lucky to work with. My style is very soft, bright and dreamy. My goal is always to use as much natural light as possible, but am ready to use my flash whenever needed. 

My inspiration comes from the sandy white beaches of St. Maarten where I am originally from. I bought my first DSLR camera in high school after working the entire summer. I spent many days on the beach capturing the people and animals that walked by and learning from there.  Since then, my experience is tenfold and the gear I use now is what I dreamed of having back then. 

Whether you are a recently engaged couple, expecting mother, a small business owner or a family in need of photos, allow me to help! I am open to ideas, suggestions and new experiences.

Worked all summer to save up for my first DSLR and there my passion began.

Left St. Maarten to study abroad in The Netherlands.

Moved back to St. Maarten and reignited my passion for fitness.

Met my future husband on the island, he left with a degree and a wife.

Tied the knot on 06/15/2018 in Jupiter, Florida and moved to the USA for good.

Our first daughter, Olivia, was born in May

Our second daughter, Parker, was born in December and soon after I decided to officially start Alyssa Dougherty Photography
