From the Ashes

BIO / ALYSSA MARTIN

I’m Alyssa, the heart and lens behind From the Ashes — a portrait and boudoir photography experience rooted in reclamation, resilience, and rising into your most powerful self. I don’t just take photos. I create space for transformation.

I know what it means to rebuild — to sift through the ashes of who you were told to be and emerge as who you truly are. That’s the energy I bring to every session. Whether you're stepping into your power, healing from trauma, or just finally ready to see yourself in your full light — I’m here to hold space, hype you up, and capture every inch of that fire.

My sessions are more than just photoshoots — they’re part ceremony, part celebration, and completely personalized. With same-day reveals, customizable product options, interest-free payment plans, and a deep commitment to your comfort and confidence, you’re not just booking a session — you’re investing in a moment of truth, beauty, and becoming.

So if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, this can’t be for me — I promise you, it is. And I’d be honored to show you.

Welcome to From the Ashes. Let’s rise.
