A Little More About Lyssa Barrow Photography
Lyssa Barrow Photography creates beautiful, lasting memories for families across North Alabama. Owner Lyssa Barrow started her business because she wanted to give other families the same kind of treasured photos she’s always loved capturing for her own, and no two sessions are ever the same, giving her a chance to get creative, capture personalities, and create images clients truly love.
Every session starts with a personalized conversation, working directly with Lyssa to choose the best date, time, location, and details, whether it’s senior portraits, family photos, a beloved pet, or a newborn’s first photos. She takes the time to learn what matters most to each client and adds the personal touches that make a session feel uniquely theirs, so the photos don’t just look beautiful, they feel authentic.

Frequently Asked Question
Q: What’s the best time to take senior photos?
A: It depends on the senior and the type of shoot. Fall is the most popular for mild weather and gorgeous landscapes, and shooting early enough allows time for yearbook deadlines. Spring works well for lush, flowering scenery. Winter is great too, as long as temps aren’t too low, and summer is the toughest for hot, muggy comfort.
Q: Where do you take photos?
A: Lyssa is an on-location photographer, choosing from the many great sites the city has to offer, or coming to you. Her website has a location guide to help clients get a feel for the vibe of different spots around town.
Q: What should I wear?
A: Lyssa’s website has a photography tip page with a general guide to what to wear, and what not to.
Q: I want to start using a camera that I have, can you help me?
A: Yes! Lyssa holds private individual or small-group beginner photography workshops (with a new beginner editing workshop coming soon), 3-hour sessions held at area coffee shops and parks where she guides you through the basics and helps you get started on a fun new hobby.
