I'm Alisa, owner of Wishes and Wonder. I grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington and after travelling the world for a few years, I now live here with my husband and three beautiful daughters. I have always loved photography, but that love grew even more when my girls were born. As they grew older, I wanted to bring their imaginative world to life. From photographing special moments of play, to creating magical scenes, I was able to do just that.
Enjoy exploring my gallery as you imagine your children frolicking with fairies, defeating dragons, or attending a royal ball!

Welcome to Wishes and Wonder!
Childhood goes by quickly, and these moments are worth remembering. I look forward to creating something your family can enjoy for years to come.
I Can't Wait to Meet You
This is the part where you relax while I work my magic. After 2 – 3 weeks, I will send you a link to your online gallery. If you booked the Once Upon a Fairytale package, this will allow you to download your image. If you booked the Whimsical Childhood package you can choose your ten images. Once you confirm your selection, they will be available for download. There will also be an option to purchase additional digital images.
After Your Session
We will now work together to choose a location for your session. I have several favorites, however, I am open to suggestions if you have a perfect place in mind. If a location requires me to travel more than 30 minutes from Gig Harbor city limits, there will be an additional travel fee.
Choosing the Location
After you book you will receive a questionnaire to fill out with your child. This helps me get to know their personality and interests that make them unique.
Getting to Know You
Once you've chosen your session, I'll send over your contract and invoice for the $150 non-refundable retainer. Your session is officially reserved once the signed contract and retainer are received within 48 hours of booking.
The remaining balance is due the day before your session.
Booking Your Session
I offer two types of sessions, each designed to celebrate childhood in a different way –
* Once Upon a Fairytale
This creation is unique, designed especially for your child. It will be delivered as a high-resolution digital image. Includes print release.
* Whimsical Childhood
Capturing the whimsical essence of childhood play. Includes 10 hand edited, high-resolution digital images, and print release.
