My photography journey
My journey with photography began in high school, documenting every moment for my school’s community service club on film. I launched my business in 2011, focusing on weddings and newborns. After a pause with weddings to focus on my own children and newborn sessions, I’m thrilled to return to wedding photography, bringing a refined eye for light, emotion, and storytelling.
As an introverted empath, I delight in subtle gestures and fleeting expressions, capturing the emotions that often go unnoticed. My goal is to turn these ephemeral moments into lasting memories, images that feel nostalgic, dreamlike, and full of feeling.
With an offbeat, playful spirit, I enjoy weaving personality and humor into my work. I love collaborating with easygoing couples who embrace both natural and posed moments, creating images that are authentic, intimate, and unforgettable.
What couples say
I’ve trusted Alicia with my biggest moments, and she never disappoints. Her knowledge of mastering light, composition, and emotion turns every shot into art. My photos still steal my breath and will be forever cherished. She is professional, adaptable, and warm, Alicia makes everyone feel at ease, coaxing genuine smiles from even the camera-shy. Fast turnaround, fair pricing, and heirloom-quality results. In a world of filters, Alicia delivers authentic magic. Book Alicia — you’ll thank yourself.
-Sara
My wife and I highly recommend Amethyst and Moss Studio. Alicia has photographed us at our wedding, for family photos, and even for branding photos for real estate. She is thoughtful about every detail and carefully plans to ensure she captures the most magical moments. I have even been able to ask for guidance on what outfits to wear for family and branding photos. At our wedding, she captured all the tender eye gazes, important family moments, a little magic, and we feel beautiful in the pictures.
-Layla
Alicia did our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! Alicia has a great eye and artistic style for photography. We get compliments on wedding photos on our wall when we have visitors. Would definitely recommend!
