An interview with Alisha…
How long have you been in photography?
The first time I can remember actually starting to get interested in photography was in middle school. I would go to the store and buy those cheap Kodak disposable cameras and invite my friends over to do photo shoots. In high school it was a video camera that went with me everywhere. I started my business almost 2 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I get to wake up every single morning and do what I love.
I get inspired by people. I definitely could never be a landscape photographer. Landscapes can be absolutely breathtaking but with people, no two pictures will ever be the same. You will never have the same people, at the same place, in the same lighting twice. So every picture you are creating is one-of-a-kind.
I would say my style is romantic, fun and natural. Each couple is different and interacts differently with each other. Some couples are more playful, while some just seem at ease being in each others arms. I like to take pictures that show who they are together. If you already have a preconceived notion of what a wedding or photo session is going to be like before you meet the couple then your not truly capturing the essence of the person you are taking pictures of.
What’s your favorite part of a wedding?
The story. Each wedding has it’s own story. How the bride and groom met. How he proposed. Why the bride picked those flowers or that song for their first dance. My job is to be able to tell the couples story of each wedding through their pictures so that everyone including the bride and groom never forget it.
What is your piece advice for couples looking for a photographer?
Make sure you and your photographer have chemistry. Your photographer is the person that you are with the most on your wedding day. Each couple should hire a photographer they feel comfortable with and that they feel will be able capture them the way they want. This is also why engagement photos are such a good idea. You get to know each other so on the wedding day, everyone is more relaxed.
What is the price range of your packages? And what’s included?
My regular packages start at $1295.00 and then go up to $2495.00, depending on what you want your package to include. I have 4 main packages and then a Short Story Package for the couples that only need me for their ceremony and family pictures and that is $300.00.
All my packages include a high resolution disc with all of the wedding photos. In my larger packages you get an engagement session, a second shooter, a print credit, and extra photo session to choose from. My largest package also comes with a 10 x 10 leather album.

Yay!! I’m glad Alisha is getting some really awesome press! We had our engagement photos with her (in the rain) a few months ago, and she’s shooting our wedding in 2 1/2 weeks – I could not have picked a better photographer!
Anyone who is wondering ‘maybe’ should just do it – you will NOT be sorry
Thanks for your input Miranda. Hearing from brides is the best recommendation there is!
Yay! Alisha just did my BFF’s wedding last weekend at top of the Spokesman-Review building! I’m looking forward to seeing all the great photos she took!
My name is Sara Story. I’ve done some assistant shooting with Alisha as her second photographer. I also run my own photography business on the side. I’d just like to say, I was very impressed with Alisha’s professionalism and her ability to pose her clients in natural, attractive poses. Whether you’re someone who already knows how to “work it” for the camera or not, Alisha will help you feel comfortable enough in front of the camera, in order to capture you at your best.
Even as a wedding photographer myself, I’m happy to endorse Alisha, because from experiences I’ve had with other photographers in the Spokane area, Alisha represents her brand the best in my opinion. At her prices, you can’t go wrong either!
Alisha just did my wedding on July 30th and she was amazing! She has a great personality which made everything flow wonderfully. She just showed me a pre-view of my pictures and they took my breath away. If you are looking for a photographer I say look no further.
