You can instantly book and pay online, sessions are 45-60 min, you will receive 50+ insta-ready, lightly edited digital photos, ready to be printed and shared. I have easy to understand, straightforward pricing, $150 flat-fee (no hidden fees).
As a mom, aunt, sister, and friend, I know how important it is to capture life as it happens. I am also aware everyone is not comfortable in front of the camera, therefore, I help photography be less intimidating and more fun by making my clients active participants in their session.
History
Established in 2010.
I launched Beloved Pieces Photography to capture the moments of shared joy, with a focus on family, child, engagement, maternity, senior and newborn photography. My favorite types of photoshoots are those that capture kids being kids and families being families, doing normal everyday things, like going for a walk, blowing bubbles, being silly together, or going to the park.
At the same time, I launched a blog, to share my personal foster care journey with family and friends. Eventually, the love of photography and foster care adoption merged under the umbrella of Attempting Agape.
The name comes from a desire to live and love beyond me.To attempt something is, "to make an effort to achieve... something, typically a difficult task or action". Agape is a word we don't use often, but it "embraces a universal, unconditional love that... goes beyond just the emotions, to the extent of seeking the best for others."

My name is Alisa Matheson and I am the Founder & CEO of Attempting Agape, a labor of love, 10 years in the making. Attempting Agape has grown as I have and I am proud to share my life of photography, parenting and foster care advocacy.
I love coffee, deep conversations, snuggles with my kid and justice on the street.
