a little photo studio

a collective of photographers and creatives each bringing their unique expertise to shape our diverse services

who we are

Our photographers are truly artists - a collective of professionals who have joined our studio with something special. Between a great eye and a great resume, we are fortunate at ALPS to attract a deep bench of top talent. Our studio keeps this talent and invests in it - offering them the best-in-industry training and a home that values their creativity and hard work. And what’s more, we have a new offering where we celebrate their artistic visions by offering you a commissioned portrait unlike any other through individual Artist Series.

The Artist Series: Never comfortable with the status quo and always looking for innovative ways to bring new life to the walls of their beloved clients, the photographers of “a little photo studio” have reimagined the portrait in a new studio offering that elevates portrait photography from the world of documentation to the world of fine art.

what we do

With an emphasis on community, our team of photographers strives to foster creative diversity while being both playful and professional. As a team of like-minded professionals, we provide an artistic eye through storytelling. We share ideas while continually learning and growing from one another. We ensure high standards of fine-art products while also staying current with client needs and trends.

The studio was created by owner & photographer, Melissa Salvatore, to provide not only a tangible final product but also a memorable experience within a seamless flow from beginning to end. We understand that you have many options with photographers, but hope that when you choose to work with our creative team, you not only see the difference in quality and content, you also feel the difference in the experience.
