Lifestyle Session Sneak Peek | Ft Lauderdale Family Photographer

Photographing this family is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time.  Mom, Alissa Alfonso is an amazing fabric artist, designer, and collector. She creates these amazing large fabric collages, scenes from nature, with incredible attention to detail.   All the different fabrics used are hand dyed.    As a mom of three very busy kids, in her “spare” time,  she also designs and sews a children’s line of clothing , “5 Stitches”.  All pieces are one of a kind and are made from a mix of new and vintage fabrics.   Proud to say my kids own a few pieces and totally rock their bohemian slightly edgy look.

Her family recently moved into an art deco charmer in east Hollywood that they lovingly restored.  It’s a great place for Alissa to display her large collection of vintage/antique collectibles.  If you’ve ever read the design blog I keep with my sisers, Sisters Not Designers, you’ll know that I love all things kitschy and vintage.  Her home makes me drool.  You’ll be able to see more of her house on the Sisters Not Designers site in the next few days.

So you can just imagine my excitement when I was finally able to coordinate a session.  I love the intimacy you get with a lifestyle session at someone’s home.  It was perfect.

Till next time,
