Hi, I’m Alysia—but most people call me Al.

I’m the photographer behind Pleasantly Captured Photography, specializing in maternity and newborn sessions designed to feel calm, intentional, and deeply supported.

I’ve spent over a decade working with growing families, and my approach is simple: create a space where you feel safe enough to relax, and confident enough to be seen.

My studio is fully equipped so you don’t have to plan, pose, or perform. Whether I’m guiding a newborn session with steady hands or photographing a mother in the midst of transformation, my role is to hold the experience with care and clarity.

This season of life moves quickly—but while you’re here, you get to slow down.
I’ll take care of the details, so you can be present for what matters most.

Outside the studio, you’ll usually find me fueled by caffeine, drawn to calming tones, and deeply appreciative of the beauty in everyday moments. But inside the studio, my focus is always the same—creating an experience where you feel cared for and confident from beginning to end.
