The Heart, Humor & Chaos Behind the Lens

Meet Alycia

Hi, I’m Alycia — a storytelling photographer with a camera in one hand and a mind that never hits pause. With 12+ years as a nanny and a degree in Early Childhood Education, I truly get kids — the silly, shy, wild, and everything in between. Toddler meltdown mid-session? No stress — I speak fluent toddler.

Fueled by creativity, a dash of ADHD, and a love for real moments, I’m here to capture the honest, hilarious, beautifully unscripted stuff that makes your photos feel like you. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when it matters, and keep things light, easy, and fun.

I don’t just deliver pretty pictures — I deliver memories you can feel. The warmth, the chaos, the connection — all the messy, magical seconds in between.

I’m a single mom to Ryder — my quick-witted, kind-hearted teen who’s grown up alongside this business. Photography wasn’t just a creative path; it was the life I needed — one built on purpose, freedom, connection, and yes, a little chaos.

You’ll probably hear about Ryder, maybe meet him, and possibly spot Roo (my bossy cat) or Ollie (my fluffy, goofy sidekick). They’re my “why” — the heart behind every session.

This work let me raise my son on my terms and freeze life’s fast, fleeting magic. If you’re looking for real, heartfelt storytelling that feels like you — I’ve got you.

I’m a single mom to Ryder — my hilarious, quick-witted, kind-hearted teen who’s grown up alongside this business. Becoming a photographer wasn’t just a creative calling; it was the only path that made sense for the kind of life I wanted to build — one filled with purpose, freedom, and connection (and, okay, a little chaos too).

You’ll hear about Ryder, probably meet him at some point, and maybe even spot a cameo from Roo (the cat who thinks she’s the CEO) or Ollie (my fluffball shadow and emotional support goofball). This whole crew is part of my "why" — the heart behind every session I shoot.

Photography gave me a way to raise my son on my own terms while doing something that matters. I know how fast time moves and how easy it is to forget the beauty in the everyday. That’s why I pour my heart into every gallery — to freeze those fleeting, imperfect, magical moments for you to hold onto forever.

If you want a photographer who brings the realness, captures your story with heart, and makes sure your photos feel like you — I’m so ready to serve you.

did we just become besties?

"The beauty of our love and pregnancy was captured with stunning photos that we’ll have forever. The warmth and depth of the Arizona sunset brought romance to our photos. Alycia made us feel heard in what we wanted, offering suggestions on wardrobe, location and poses. Alycia provided the dress I wore, which looked beautiful with the location we had chosen. She took the time to explain poses and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We travelled from Canada and will be visiting Arizona again, specifically Alycia for a family photoshoot in the future. I would highly recommend Alycia. Our photos are proof of her talent and creativity." -Juliana C.
