I am Alyssa Burgess the founder and owner of Miss Lyss Photography and one of the lead shooters. I am madly in love with the mitten state; the trees, lakes, and the beautiful people in it. I am incredibly blessed to have a loving husband, Gydeon and 2 fun loving daughters, Lucille and Cecille. 

Most of the time I would say I am a super spunky kind of lady. I love to make others laugh and throw jokes in whenever I can. I'm super laid back.  I swear too much sometimes but don’t worry I can keep it cool for grandma if she isn’t into that lol.

My photography on the other hand takes me to a deeper place within myself full of passion although I still like to keep things pretty relaxed during a session. 

I have a passion for learning about other cultures, faiths, and just different ways people live their lives. This isn't just about photos for me it is so much more than that. 

I feel each photo with every fiber of my being. Every click tells a story and captures emotions that will last longer than we can begin to imagine. 

When I was only thirteen, my father passed away from colon cancer. He was my best friend and literally every single photo I have of him brings me back to who he was. My dad loved everyone, he made them all feel welcomed, and brought laughter and joy into their lives. 

I built this company to honor his memory and I wouldn't be the amazing woman I am today without the precious time I had with him.
