The Dream Team behind Photography by Alyssa Michelle!
We are SO excited to meet you and changing your life!

Hi beautiful! You and I have definitely spoken so you know a little bit about me!
I am a Hockey fanatic, notebook obsessor, kitten lover, and I love spicy food more than anything in this world!
My passion in life is to show YOU your true beauty. It's my calling, and I couldn't be any more happy with what I do than I am now!
I'll see you soon, gorgeous!
XOXO

Hello ladies,
Ironically my name is also Alyssa, but the girls call me Little!
A "little"about myself ( LOL). I'm 28 years young my hobbies in no specific order include, twerking to rap music, eating, and world travel. I'm most comfortable with sand between my toes, salt water in my hair, and a lot of Vitamin D ( typical CA girl).I live with my best friend and soul mate in Los Angeles, CA and I LOVE HAIR. More importantly, I love making people feel beautiful. It's the most rewarding part of my job.

Proessionally I studied at Toni & Guy, I've been a licensed cosmetologist since 2011 and have done all sorts of jobs in the hair industry since. Currently when I'm not working with Alyssa Michelle, I freelance as a hairstylist specializing in men's cuts and working in the fashion industry styling the beautiful faces of Hollywood for the camera.

You may ask...How did you start working with Alyssa Michelle? Well, we go way back to 2012! I met Alyssa while serving tables at her moms sports bar very early on in my career. We became instant friends and collaborated our artistic talents here and there over the years. In 2015 she asked me to become a permanent addition become to her team. I gladly accepted and the rest is history!

I enjoy every aspect of my job but in an industry so saturated with vanity and egos my favorite part of the week is when I get to to be apart of making someone feel beautiful again. Someone that has maybe forgotten her beauty or has been told that she isn't beautiful enough. THAT is why I do what I do and why I chose to be apart of this team. Every woman deserves to feel empowered by her beauty and Alyssa Michel captures so perfectly the soul and essence of a women.

My name is Alyssa Lauren! No, I am not THE Alyssa, but I am basically her mini me! I am 27 years old and live in Irvine! I am currently engaged and at the tail end of planning my wedding, which will be here in November! I went to California Baptist University where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing.

I’ve been working with Alyssa Michelle for over two years now as her Studio Manager and Associate Photographer. Just like Alyssa, I am involved in the entire process of your Experience from beginning to end! I work a lot behind the scenes with the business, as well as shoot with Alyssa during client sessions!

Working with this amazing team who is so devoted to helping women see their true beauty inside and out is more rewarding than I could have ever imagined! Alyssa Michelle has dedicated her life and career to changing the lives of the women around her no matter what their story or background is and has proved time and time again to her clients that you are ALWAYS WORTH IT! Boudoir is such an empowering experience, giving you the opportunity to break down your walls and leave all your insecurities at the door. It can help mend a broken heart, boost a destroyed self-esteem, and build a confident woman! I can promise you that this Experience Alyssa and our team offers is without a doubt 100% worth it. If there is something holding you back, don’t let it, because your self-worth should never come at a price!

Some fun facts about me:
• I love watching anime
• I prefer tea over coffee any day
• I don’t have a favorite color
• I have two other jobs working at a Dermatology Center and as an OR nurse
• Cookies are my weakness
• Certain fabrics give me goose pimples like crazy

My name is Stacey Smyth and I am 23 years old from Orange County California! I studied at MUD (Makeup Designory) and graduated in February 2106. To say I LOVE what I do is a complete understatement. I've always loved makeup but up until I was about 21 I hadn't realized that I could make this hobby that I've loved for years, my career. Now fast forward a couple months after graduation to getting the opportunity to work with Alyssa! I took a leap of faith not really knowing what boudoir was fully about but I knew it would involve me doing makeup so I wanted to take the chance. Instantly after meeting Alyssa and her team I knew that being apart of their team was where I belong. Long story short, I got the job! Working for Alyssa and being involved with boudoir has made me love what I do even more than I ever imagined possible. If you're even partially considering having a session with her, DO IT! Take that leap of faith like I did and I promise you won't be disappointed and your life and view of yourself will be forever changed.

My name is April Escobar and I am 30 years old! I have my bachelors degree in Psychology from the University of La Verne and studied makeup at the April Love Pro Makeup Academy. I love to help people and found a new sense of accomplishment through helping women enhance their natural beauty through makeup. I have had the pleasure of doing makeup for many brides, photographers, events, and NY fashion week. When a former bride tagged me in the job posting for Alyssa, I knew that it was something that interested me. But, I didn't know how much the job would help me grow. Every woman who I get the honor of helping get ready for their shoot has a story and a purpose for their shoot. Boudoir has changed the way I look at beauty. I myself hardly ever wear makeup but, do love the way I also look with full glam. I believe that everyone is naturally beautiful and makeup is like adding a little extra sugar to your dessert.

Fun facts about me:
I was in a LMFAO music video.
I love animals but, am afraid of Horses.
I don't like cake & the only pie I like is pumpkin.
2008 is the year my life turned around and began my road to success & happiness.

Hi everyone! You probably don't know me, but you probably know Alyssa. I'm Alyssa's younger sister, Amy. I've loved editing films since I was young, and before I even could! I would find still pictures, put them into powerpoint, and memorize when to move to the next slide in tempo with the music. Those were my first videos at age 8, and I haven't stopped since. As the official boudoir film editor of Photography by Alyssa Michelle, I pour my heart and soul into every clip I cut and agonize over how best to make our clients shine in each and every one. Outside of editing, I still can't get myself away from technology even if I tried. On my best days, I'm editing, playing video games and sipping hot cocoa. I promise, that seeing your film will change your outlook on yourself! I love it every bit as much, and won't finalize it until it's perfect!
