Alyssa Ecelberger
North west pa photographer
Hi, I’m Alyssa — a family photographer based in Warren, PA, and someone who truly believes in the magic of everyday moments.
I’ve always loved photography. There’s something so special about freezing time — the giggles, the chaos, the quiet glances — and turning those moments into memories you can hold onto forever. What started as a passion quickly turned into something I knew I had to do full time.
As a mom of two and a wife, I know how fast life moves and how important it is to capture the little things: the scrunched-up noses, the belly laughs, the way your child looks at you when they think no one’s watching. That’s the kind of love and connection I aim to document.
My style is warm, natural, and full of emotion. I’m not here for the stiff poses or forced smiles — I’m here to tell your story in the most authentic way possible.
And yes, I run on coffee and chaos, just like many of my clients. So if you’re looking for someone who will not only take your photos but make the experience fun, relaxed, and full of heart — I’d love to meet you.
FAQ
What should we wear for our session?
The number one rule? Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you feel good, it will shine through in your photos.
Here are a few tips to help you choose:
📸 Keep it simple & coordinated (not matchy)
Choose a color palette with 2–3 complementary tones — think earthy, neutral, or muted shades. Soft colors like cream, tan, olive, denim, rust, or dusty blues work beautifully in natural light and outdoor settings. Avoid everyone wearing the exact same color — variety adds dimension!
👗 Textures & layers photograph beautifully
Think knits, linen, denim, cotton, or lace. Add a cardigan, a scarf, or a hat for depth. Layers also give us more to play with during the session.
🚫 Skip busy prints & logos
Tiny patterns, loud logos, or neon colors can distract from the emotion in your photos. Solid colors or simple patterns help keep the focus on your faces and connection.
👣 Shoes (or bare feet!)
Shoes do show up in photos — so go with something natural, neutral, and comfy. Or, for beach or field sessions, feel free to kick them off and go barefoot!
👶 For little ones
Keep outfits soft, comfortable, and free from itchy fabrics or stiff collars. Think cozy over perfect — and bring a backup outfit just in case.
📄 Still unsure?
I’ll send you a full style guide after you book, complete with outfit inspiration, seasonal color palettes, and tips for every family member. You can even send me photos if you want help narrowing it down — I’ve got you!
How long does it take to get our photos?
I know how exciting it is to see your images — I promise, they’re worth the wait!
Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session. I hand-edit each photo with care to make sure they reflect the warmth and connection we captured together.
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images — and order prints if you’d like!
If you’d love a sneak peek sooner, let me know! I’m happy to share a couple of favorites within a few days after your session.
