Hello, I'm alissa
portrait Photographer
I'm Alissa, the photographer behind That's What She Shot. If you couldn't tell by my business name, I'm a pretty big fan of The Office.
I bought my first camera when I was 12 and have loved taking pictures ever since. While I've dabbled in photographing people for more than five years, in 2025 I decided it was time to take this little passion of mine more seriously.
There's just something about freezing a moment in time, especially the ordinary ones you don't realize you'll miss until they're gone.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and our two golden retrievers, sipping on an iced coffee and listening to Fleetwood Mac, exploring beautiful places, or baking something delicious.
I'm so glad you're here, and I'd love the chance to tell a little piece of your story.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
My approach
Less posing. More living.
I want your photographs to feel like you—not like you spent an hour trying to figure out how to stand.
I'll guide you when you need direction, encourage the genuine moments when they happen, and leave room for the laughter, chaos, movement, and emotion that make your story uniquely yours.
The goal isn't perfection.
It's remembering how it felt.
