Hi, I'm Alyssa Faykus-Smith

Portrait | Lifestyle | Business

I picked up photojournalism as an elective in college and immediately fell in love with the art of photography.

My photo philosophy is to meet people where they're at and take photos as they are. I want to bring out the beauty of you, your moments, your connections, and your business needs. Community is the heart of what I do.

Outside of photography, I am a creative writer, crafter, and television watcher. I live in Nacogdoches with my husband and two kitties, Millie and Chester.

Timeless Style


My style philosophy is to edit my photos to reflect the authentic moment they were shot, but add a little pizzazz. I'm a natural light enthusiast and balance dreamy tones with golden light.

A Unique Perspective


My background in photojournalism sets me apart from other photographers. I love making my clients the center of the photo, while balancing the little details of the space we're in, creating documentary style photographs.
