About your photographer
Alisha Cole
Elevated senior portraits with heart and style.
Thoughtfully styled, golden-hour portraits that capture your confidence, personality, and this once-in-a-lifetime season.
This moment deserves to be celebrated with intention
because this season truly matters.
I know how meaningful this time is—for seniors stepping into their next chapter and for the families cheering them on every step of the way.
Hey Gorgeous
Meet Alisha
The sunset chaser
I will hunt down the perfect location — even if it means hopping on a plane to Italy! Seriously, my passport is always ready!
With over a decade of experience and 2,000+ sessions under my belt, I continue to find joy in capturing meaningful moments that reflect who you are in this season of life.
I’m the photographer who listens to your vision, understands your goals, and brings your dream session to life.
Warm, elevated, and always original — I create images that will be cherished and shared for generations.
My photography journey began in college, where I was originally a graphic design major at SDSU. But everything changed the moment I took my first photography class — I was instantly hooked! I dove headfirst into learning and creating. Soon after, I started my family, and my passion for capturing moments with my boys blossomed into a career I truly love. I still get butterflies every time I pick up my camera, and I’m endlessly grateful for this incredible journey.
