Owner of Missy Alison Photography. I've been photographing in Grand Rapids since 2010.
I spent 17 years as a nurse; 13 of those in the air as a flight nurse with Aero Med. After a decade of seeing how fragile and fleeting life can be, I walked away with a crystal-clear understanding of what really matters.
It's why I love giving back to organizations that strengthen our community.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me with my husband Brad, our kids Mia and Wyatt and our wildly opinionated dog Bruce. During the summer, I'm usually elbow-deep in dirt tending to my 200+ dahlias in the backyard. And if I'm not there, you can find me on the lakeshore or downtown with my camera.

What Auction Winners Experience
at Missy Alison Photography
Here's What I Donate to Community Auctions:
01
Professional Design
Consultation
Professional Design Consultation
I meet with the family in their home first to measure wall spaces and plan wardrobes. We design a plan for wall artwork to fit their home's specific style before the photo session.
02
The Cinematic Reveal
The family sees their portraits for the first time on a cinema-sized screen at their ordering appointment. It's an emotional, celebrated event where I guide them through the selection process so they're never overwhelmed.
03
Finished Heirloom Art
I handle every detail from concept to final delivery. The winner receives finished, museum-quality artwork ready to be enjoyed on their walls, not files that get stuck on a hard drive.
Because of this full-service approach, the donation from Missy Alison Photography typically earns the organization $500–$1,000+. This helps the organization reach its fundraising goals faster..
