• I switched to digital in 2004 because it's more economical. There's no film to buy or have processed, and digital images are faster and easier to transfer, share (no more scanning!), and to do retouching. This also means that your photographs will be ready for you sooner.
• I don't have a limit on the number of photographs I will take at your event or session. The number of photographs you will receive depends on the time limit of your event. I do not promise any certain number of photographs, but weddings tend to range from 200 to 600 images while studio sessions have been anywhere from 25 to 150.
• I've arranged my packages so that no matter which one you choose, in some way you get a copy of ALL of your images (or "proofs").
• My studio is portable, so if you'd like for me to come to you, I can do that. You may like a private session in the comfort of your own home, or you may want to use your favorite park as your backdrop... the options are limitless!
This is especially advantageous for those of you seeking photo sessions of pets/animals and babies/children; they tend to be more at ease in their own environments, making for improved behavior and therefore improved results.
• I welcome your ideas. I've studied art for more than a decade, and while I'd like to say I think I have good taste and good ideas, art is subjective and we may not like the same things. If you have styles and poses in mind, please share them with me. I've had customers bring me notebooks filled with magazine clippings. The bottom line is you are my customer, and I want to make every effort to give you what you want!
We love them!... Thank you so much for being our photographer, we couldn't have asked for anyone better! You were willing to be fun and creative with us and I don't think we would have gotten that from anyone else!" Toni Henry, Wedding 2005
"I never thought I would ever be able to get professional photographs of my cats since there was no way I could control them in a photographer's studio. Having you to come to my house allowed me and my cats to remain relaxed...and wow....such great photos that I can treasure for years! Thank you! I'm recommending you to all my friends with pets!" Teresa Kiser, Mother of Simone & Samantha, Cat Photos 2006
"We were having a small wedding and weren't sure if we could afford a photographer. My father hired Alicia and we got the most beautiful pictures. Not only are the pictures priceless, but Alicia's kindness and generosity made our day so much more special. Thank you for everything." The Cosbys, Wedding 2005
"I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love the pictures---I can't even pick a favorite, they are all so amazing!! I can't believe how accurately you captured Belle's eyecolor and even her personality. The tough choice for me is which ones I want to get made into 8x10s out of the 4x6s I already plan to get printed out. Thanks again for taking the pictures, I truly appreciate it. I enjoyed meeting you too, you're such a sweet person." Amber Stamper, Mother of Belle and Tiger, Cat Photos 2006

"That's unbelievable. This is now a perfect mate for the new photo of the Liles Bldg. She did a wonderful job. Please thank her for me and have her bill the max. end of her quote--it's a bargain. Maybe she should do the photo of the staff!!!" B. Seymoure, Director of the Anniston Public Library, Modification of a photograph of the old Carnegie Library.
"I just wanted to thank you for the picture CDs. You did a GREAT job and we have very much enjoyed looking through the many pictures. Have a great day!" Emily Lee, Wedding 2007
