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.

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, the human condition, 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.
