Meet Allisa

Hi, friends! I am a creative with a lust for life and I like to think that shines through my work. I am a photographer specializing in portraits, landscapes, and visual branding, and a mixed media artist. Outside of art, I've got a passion for community, design, nature, travel, and people. I’m just an old soul cruising around Florida in a Jeep.

I take photographs for many reasons. For the moment inspired people. For the people in love. For the people figuring out what makes them feel alive. For those who consciously experience the present moment. For those who choose to fully live… and for those who have not yet learned how.

Before I am an artist, I am a friend. I have found peace in my artwork for many reasons, but the most important one is the relationships I create with my clients whom I am lucky enough to call my friends. My natural approach to photography allows me to capture real, amazing moments between real, amazing people. In recent years, I have found myself in the world of mixed media. Although photography was my first love, experimenting with pastels and paints and adding my thoughts and downloads to paper has allowed me to express myself in a new way that feels like home to me.

I have never been one to take the traditional route. When my parents gifted me my first camera in middle school, I immediately started chasing my passion and begin freelancing shortly after. I always knew a 9-5 job wasn't for me. I begin my photography journey in 2010 and opened my creative studio, Roots Creative Co., in 2016. Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of beautiful people to document the important moments of their journey and help them bring their businesses and visions to life.

This portfolio and blog are a mesh of my travels, words, and photographs that I am excited to share with anyone who may find themselves here. I created this space to showcase my work and tell stories of my adventures in both my work and personal life. Thank you for being a part of my journey. Stay weird. Be kind. Love always.
