“Working with Alissa and her team was an incredible experience from start to finish. You can immediately tell she takes great pride in her work and is a true expert at her craft. I chose to work with her after seeing her gallery. Her photos felt elevated, confident, and intentional. As I continue grow in my leadership career, I knew I needed more than a standard headshot, I needed imagery that made a statement and reflected who I am.

Alissa made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She guided me thoughtfully, asked the right questions, and took a very personalized approach to help capture not just how I look, but how I want to show up in the world. The final images completely exceeded my expectations. I ended up selecting a full collection because I honestly don’t think I’ll have photos of myself that I love this much again for a long time.

If you’re looking for someone who blends artistry, professionalism, and authenticity, I can’t recommend Alissa enough. I’m so grateful for the experience and the images I now have.”

Without the Stereotypes

This is for women who want elegance over cliché—images that feel powerful, chic, and unmistakably you. Whether you prefer silk robes and soft layers or a crisp blazer and bare feet, we’ll create portraits that match your vibe.

“The studio is beautiful, warm and welcoming. Alissa made what can be a stressful experience stress free and enjoyable and the pictures were some of the best I have ever had.”

Raquel Rosenfeld

Hi, I am Alissa

For years, I’ve watched women light up when they finally see themselves—powerful, beautiful, enough.

I’ve helped hundreds of people reclaim confidence in how they’re seen. Empowered Portraits was born from that same mission: to remind women of their strength, to help them reconnect with the woman the world already admires but they may have forgotten.

This experience isn’t about posing perfectly or fitting an image. It’s about celebrating the one you’ve become—the woman who’s earned every line, laugh, and story.

Every moment is designed to make you feel grounded, confident, and seen. You’ll leave not just with portraits you love—but with a renewed sense of who you are.

Questions?

I’m not a model — will you pose me?

Absolutely. I’ll be your guide. Promise. So you feel relaxed and confident.

What should I wear?

Think layers: silk robes, bodysuits, lingerie, your favorite white button down, leather pants, or blazer. You can wear as much or as little as you’d like. We’ll discuss during your consult.

Will my photos be retouched?

Yes - polished and natural that maintains skin texture and your unique features. If you want more, just let me know.

Where are sessions held?

In my private studios — New York City, or Verona, NJ
