Hello world! I am Alicia. Mother of two, to my crazy Monkey Boy + Queen Bee (or so she says).
I am a lifestyle/Adventure Family Photographer with a bit of sports portraits in the mix with 10+ years under my belt and constantly growing and evolving in the art.
I have lived in the PNW my whole life. My kids (13 & 6) and I currently reside in Grays Harbor, WA. Just a short drive from the Pacific Coast and Premier Vacation Beach Towns like Seabrook and Ocean Shores. A little south of Quinault, and a little further north of that is Ruby Beach!
Outside of photography my kids and I live a very active and slightly crazy life. We Picked up Mountain Bikinig a few years back that led us into XC Racing and some gravel as well! We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into at the time, but we are hooked and it's a fun and healthy family thing that opened us up to meeting some pretty amazing people. I am a strong believe that adventuring is good for the soul and we do as much as we can.
So thats a little about me and my crazy life!
Curious what to expect during your photoshoot?
Well, expect it to be fun and full of laughter, usually laughing at my awkwardness. Don’t worry, I’ll be laughing with you. Don’t mind if I forget to take my lens cap off (yes this happens every time). I am a very “Go with the flow” kind of photographer, and you should be as a client as well for your photos, especially if you have kiddos! Loosen up and enjoy the experience! The best shots come from the least expected moments, every time! I promise!
Have kiddos with you? No stress, let them run and I’ll chase them with my camera. We love all the animals, and when I say “we” I mean there’s a 50/50 chance you’ll probably meet one or both of my kids mentioned above. Theia is my daughter and Rylon is my son. They’re both professionals at getting other kids to laugh and look at the camera (usually). They have been going to photoshoots with me since they were babies, literally. They love making new friends.
My goal overall is to make you laugh and get genuine smiles for your images. If you’re only looking for posed, prim and proper photos where kids sit still, I am probably not your girll.
I shoot till I feel like we have a full gallery, and if the light is yummy and gold I may shoot some more.
I will absolutely suggest the best time of day for your photos (usually evening as most people are not early risers). We shoot rain or shine even in the low fog (which makes for some killer dramatic photos). So, if we get some rain, bring the galoshes and umbrellas! Or not, we can go puddle jumping and get soaked too!
Have some more questions?
Shoot me a message! I’d love to chat!
