Newborns
The arrival of a newborn is a special moment that every parent wants to remember forever. Photographing your baby at this stage can help you remember their tiny fingers and toes, their delicate features, and the overwhelming love you felt when you first met them.
They are a way to relive those precious moments and remember just how much your baby has changed since those early days.
6 & 12 months
milestones
The first year of a baby's life is full of special moments and milestones that parents cherish and want to remember forever. As your little one grows and develops, there are certain milestones that are particularly significant and worth capturing on camera. In particular, the 6th and 12th month milestones are two of the most important to photograph.

The 12 month milestone is a significant one, as it marks the end of your baby's first year of life. One of the best ways to capture this milestone is with a cake smash photoshoot. Not only does the cake keep them busy and sitting still, but it also makes for the cutest photos to celebrate this milestone. Your baby's reactions to the cake, whether they dive in or are hesitant at first, make for priceless memories. You can use these photos to display at the party or as gifts for those who attend. The cake smash is a fun and unique way to commemorate this special occasion and create lasting memories of your baby's first year.

We love working with Alysha so much that we keep going back! I hired her to do our daughters newborn photos, and when she was 9days old we took her to the studio, and Alysha was so amazing with her! I have no idea how she kept June calm and happy when she was generally a bit of a colicky baby. I think it really helps that she’s a mom herself, I watched her sooth my daughter right to sleep so she could get some photos of her sleeping. (I actually took some of her soothing methods home with me as a new mom and used them to get my baby to sleep at home lol) So awesome. We took our daughter back to get her 1 year old pics done and cake smash and couldn’t be happier with them. They’re so precious, we will enjoy them for a lifetime. Alysha is genuinely talented in capturing special moments with your family and the cherry on top is that she’s so friendly! We love her. We will be clients for life!

We love Alysha!!
We have updated pictures taken every year for Christmas as well as my daughter's first year. Maternity, Newborn and First Birthday. The quality of pictures is amazing and she is very fun to work with. Can't wait to use her again.
- The Forsens
Alysha has been photographing our family since my daughter’s birth seven years ago. Year after year, she delivers amazing family photos. A great photographer (who is especially good dealing with small children) is invaluable. We are fortunate to have found Alysha!

I’m so happy to be a part of the #ASPfamily ! As a member, we receive first hand news of up coming session dates, promotions, and sneak peeks. I just adore Alysha’s sarcastic and fun personality. Always makes for a relaxed photo shoot resulting in the best candid moments.
If you want timeless photos that you will absolutely love and want to plaster on your walls year after year, join the #aspfamily and book a session with Alysha asap!
- The Jackson's
Being an #aspfamily means getting the best quality photos of your family, she captures the most special moments of our family, I am OBSESSED with all of our photos Alysha has taken of us. She makes you feel at ease, not awkward at all. Hands down my favourite photographer
- The van Baal's
We love having Alysha photograph our family! She has been photographing all our families memorable moments for the past 5 years. She has done our maternity, newborn, Christmas and family photos and each time is an amazing experience. She always comes with fun ideas on how to get the perfect photos and she always makes you feel comfortable in front of a camera. My son can be so serious when it comes to photos but she always gets him to crack a smile. She helped choose a location for our family photos and gave great advice on how to coordinate our clothing. The photos always turn out great and are delivered quickly. My son loves to sit down and look through all the photos we have had done. They are an amazing memory to have and we are so thankful to Alysha for capturing so many great family photos for us!
- The Wiens
We absolutely LOVE working with Alysha! She took our family photos this summer in the lower mainland in the cutest location that we would have never even known about. It was a family mini-session and we had no idea what to expect, and let me tell you... the photos that came out of this were worth so much to us. I can't believe the quality that came out of this family photo mini session! Even though Alysha is located in Peachland (Okanagan BC) she came down to the lower mainland to do this photoshoot for us and a few other families. Whether you're in the lower mainland or Okanagan, you should definitely contact her for your family photos! - Brittany
