a year filled with more than i could ever have asked for & adventures beyond my imagination. it's the little things that make me happy. enjoy today ...

beautiful Couture Books - 2011 studio album (debut December 18!)

a sneak peak while we design the 2011 studio sample album, cover layout! Couture Book is a vendor I love, & I had the opportunity to chat up Dave & Jennifer in nyc and drool over thier amazing hand-made, and eco-friendly albums. you'll be able to see this one in person at our studio open house, on December 18th!

i'm taking you to NYC with me...

thank you everyone for allowing me to share time with your family and document you. some of you are coming with me to New York today for three days of intense portfoilio reviews. You continue to inspire my portrait work (shown here) & my conceptual work .... t h a n k  y o u.

lil' le

i'm a sucka for early mornings with beautiful light. not to mention when the lil' one has hair like this lil' 4 month old ...

create energy together

it's about that time, & i'm looking to hire a creative, yet very organized part-time studio assistant. finding a connection is key -- i thrive on creating, and i'm at a point where a momentum of incredible opportunities have fallen into my lap (including teaching & consulting on interiors). i am looking to share, grow, teach & learn ... perhaps you are too?

i am primarily seeking someone who is interested in doing quite a bit of post processing, data entry, research, & assisting on shoots. my work focuses on children's portraits & creative ventures in documenting life. i take on only a handful of very special artful wedding commissions a year. experience & references are a must.

please send a PDF cover letter, resume & 6-8 jpgs of your own work to : studio@alyssamiserendino.com

if i find your submission & thus yourself of interest, i will reach out for a one-on-one interview. 

let's create energy together.

3 days young

and he's already dishin' out the one brow up...

playing favorites

i've had a pretty blessed year. perhaps it's because i've gotten married to my best friend for the second time, in an industry i never really believed in, which had driven me away from photographing weddings after almost 10 years. yet, i have created some of the most identity driven self portraits of myself through client's love (t h a n k  y o u to the below) - both in love of a partner or child  ... or in my personal work. but i get it now. or perhaps i just enjoy knowing myself through this lens. its like a secret i'm not sure how to tell  - but through loving myself more & more, i love my imagery more. and even when i dont know what i'm doing, even better:) i turn 30 in a couple of days & i couldn't be happier. in the most ironic of places, the work i've run so far from in order to do a better job, makes me smile again - who knows, perhaps i'll get to teach a class about it soon (live out loud).

happy birthday & t h a n k  y o u world. i look forward to growing old with you all.

breakfast with zoe
