Hi! It is a true pleasure + honor to have you here! My name is Alyssa Durham, the one hopefully behind the camera for you soon! A little look into my life would show you that the past few years have consisted of moving to a new city, completing 2 degrees, getting married, + becoming a licensed trauma therapist! I absolutely adore what I do full-time, yet love even more that as I get to share in people's sufferings alongside them, photography allows for me to celebrate + be with others in the heights as well.

To me, photography is such a special and sacred work. It is an art that provides us invaluable, tangible ways to seal up our most treasured loved ones + occasions. In a world where time moves too quickly and memories fade, pictures allow our felt experiences to stand still for eternity + enable us to hold onto what matters most. I cannot wait to partake in the beauty of photography with you + cherish your life through my lens!

ADP originally began in 2017 as a hobby + how I fund-raised for mission trips, now, evolving into the side hustle of my dreams! Philippians 4:4 serves as the heart behind more intently moving towards an "official" business. Paul encourages us to, "Rejoice in the Lord always. [He says] it again: Rejoice!" (HCSB) + The Message translates this as, "Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!". This is my revel to + in God. Capturing + preserving the sweetest moments of life alongside being in the business of celebrating Him through His people--in the moment as well as in the form that can be treasured for a lifetime.
