hen we first connected with Alyssa Ross (@itsgibsonross) back in July 2020 for a FaceTime photoshoot, it was a time when the world was learning to adapt to new forms of creativity. Even through the virtual lens, Alyssa’s radiant natural beauty shone brightly, leaving us eager for another opportunity to capture her in her element. Fast forward to today—she’s now in Los Angeles, where we recently had the chance to photograph her in person, celebrating her natural curves and undeniable confidence.

Alyssa’s beauty goes far beyond the superficial. She’s a woman who embraces her body just as it is, from her soft curves to her naturally gifted derrière, complete with cellulite—a feature she proudly celebrates. “It’s just part of who I am,” Alyssa says with a smile, noting how she’s learned to love every inch of her body, imperfections and all.

In a world where so much pressure is placed on women to conform to narrow beauty standards, Alyssa stands out for her refreshing sense of self-acceptance.

Freckles have long been a signature of Alyssa’s look, and rather than cover them up, she chooses to let them shine.

“My freckles are part of what makes me unique,” she says. “They’re a reminder that beauty isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing what makes you different.” It’s this same mindset that fuels her unapologetic approach to her curves, her cellulite, and the features that make her feel like the best version of herself.

During our recent photoshoot in LA, we sought to capture Alyssa’s effortless beauty in its most authentic form. No filters, no heavy makeup, just Alyssa as she is—confident, glowing, and unapologetically real. Her message is clear: love the skin you’re in, because true beauty lies in self-acceptance.

In a city that often celebrates the artificial, Alyssa remains a shining light of natural beauty, reminding us all to embrace what makes us unique. Whether it’s her bold curves or the delicate freckles that dot her skin, Alyssa proves the power of self-love, and we’re here for it.
