Hi, Im Alysha
I’m the photographer and editor behind West & Kin. Born in Ontario and now calling Calgary home, I have a background in dance and a love for music, which helps me move with the moment. I love chasing light, the emotion, and the little in-between moments that make each session feel real.
As a mom of two, photography grew from a creative outlet into a passion driven business. I bring warmth, spontaneity, and a calm, easygoing energy to every shoot, making the experience feel natural and fun—never forced.
Whenever I’m back visiting Ontario, I love opening my calendar to capture moments there too — because distance doesn’t mean the magic has to stop.
Expect genuine connection, thoughtful storytelling, and images that feel true to you.
"Alysha came to do maternity photos for us at our home, and they were so great! I showed her some photos that I wanted, and she had no problem capturing my vision.
Alysha is so personable and easy to work with. Highly recommend West and Kin for your photography needs!!"
