You need better clients - and more money, if we're being honest. But you're having a hard time landing dream projects, and your work is keeping you in a cycle of underpaid, overworked sh*t.

I've helped hundreds of creatives gain brand clarity and elevate their online presence with unapologetic, fully expressed photos to get them booked solid with dream clients.

Now it's your turn. Stop throwing family photos and random stock photography up on your socials and website.

You have a vision for your business - get a story-driven, visual presence to match.

RESULTS

Your photos represent your business. They communicate what you do, who you serve, your professionalism, expertise, personality, values, and most importantly - trustworthiness.

90% of online buyers say that photo quality is the most crucial factor in an online sale. If you want to see results, then you need to show up in an elevated and genuine way.

“I would have paid her double what she charged for my session!”

“Before working with Alicia, I had one or two photos of myself to showcase on my website. It was embarrassing, and I had to compensate with a ton of stock photography which I KNEW was killing conversions.

I chose Alicia not just because her photography is kick-ass (because it is!) but because she strategically knew what I needed as a website designer. Regular portrait photographers just don’t get it - the white space in a photo, storytelling components, use of color, and the emotions needed for effective marketing... I didn’t have to explain ANYTHING to her 🤯

My photos were part of my strategy to help increase my organic leads. In just 1 year I’ve seen a 665% increase in monthly traffic, I’m booked months in advance and I’ve tripled my prices!

I’ve seen a HUGE rate of return and then some. I would have paid Alicia double what she charged for my session!” - Emily Agan

“My practice was full within weeks - this is virtually
unheard of.”

“I launched my practice a few weeks after my brand session with Alicia. I was beyond excited to use the photos for marketing and felt proud to have them on my site. My practice was full within weeks - this is virtually unheard of. I truly believe that this happened in large part because of Alicia’s brand photos.

She guided me from the beginning and helped me evoke who I am as a person and a therapist through her photography. The confidence I gained from this experience as a new business owner is truly unparalleled.

Thankful is an understatement!" - Stella Masterson

frequently asked questions

  • I highly recommend booking at least 1-2 months out since availability is limited, especially when working on a rebrand or new website in your business. If you're on a time crunch, still reach out as availability can vary by season and sometimes things change quickly or a spot opens up. Even if I’m full, I can add you to the waitlist in the event of a last-minute change.

  • Within 2-3 weeks.

  • I professionally edit your photos to include color correction, contrast, exposure, and a soft retouch for headshots and close-ups. This soft retouch is to remove temporary blemishes, soften your skin, and whiten your teeth.

    I won't adjust your weight, reverse natural signs of aging, or alter your physical features and markings. I also don't edit your makeup or hair, remove logos from clothing, or add/remove items from your images.

    Read more about my editing ethics and stance on retouching here.

  • Nope, I work with lots of different businesses and serve “professional” types as well. I work with realtors, therapists, lawyers, doctors, accountants, and more. To see if we’re a good fit, review that “sound like you” section above.

  • Absolutely! I work with you to make adjustments when you have a physical disability, health concern, or temporary need - such as breastfeeding or pumping. Please feel invited to share this information with me so I can accommodate you during your session.

  • Absolutely not. You don't need to know what to do. I'll coach you through every scene and tune in to what's most natural for you. I will also keep an eye on that double chin we’re all so worried about. If you want to prepare though you can check out these posts:

    Brand Photography Secrets

  • We can on-location at a place of your choosing or we can shoot in our new ALP Studio in North Austin (just East of I-35 and literally right over the line into Pflugerville).

    The studio is a bright, clean, natural light space of about 1400sq feet with a mezzanine and free on-site parking. We have a private bathroom, a hair and makeup area, a kitchen area, brand photo props and furniture, and all the things you’ll need to take the stress out of your shoot - including a fridge, clothing rack, and a steamer. We worry about these things so you don’t have to.

  • For studio sessions, we don't offer or suggest multiple locations for one session. Experience has taught us that loading, unloading, set styling and takedown, hair and makeup, etc all take significant time and energy. Trying to fit in additional locations usually means your images suffer as a result of doing too much.

    If we're shooting on location, it's more feasible if the sites are nearby and time and space allow. Just discuss this with usin advance. There’s a lot to consider and we can talk you through the best options.

  • Yes, we have furniture and styling props available. After booking, I'll share with you a guide that includes available studio inventory so you can get an idea of what we have for you, but you're also encouraged to bring your own to better personalize your photos. Our props include larger furniture pieces and accessories like plants and pillows, moveable walls, and seamless paper.

  • We include this service for you with our vetted team of ALP Artists to bring more ease and polish to your photo experience. We handle all the details for you, but we’ll have you complete a questionnaire about your preferences, everyday routine, allergies, and any concerns you have to help us tailor your service. Your artist will create a look to match your visual & brand goals and compliment your unique features.

    You must arrive with clean, dry hair and a clean, makeup-free face on the day of your session to receive our services. Communicate clearly with your Artist during your service if you want to punch things up or tone things down. I promise, we are not offended by requests for changes - we want you to speak up so we can provide you with the best final result!

    For on-location services, your Artist will need you to provide access to a table, working electrical outlets, and lots of natural light - best to do this near a window.

    Why You Should Use Your Brand Photographer's Hair and Make-up Team for Your Photoshoot

  • Guests are strongly discouraged. While it sounds fun, in theory, they're often bored or constantly moving because they're in our way. Guests also unintendedly steal your focus and energy - or worse, make you feel more self-conscious. These things tend to not be helpful to the overall goal of the shoot or to your investment.

    Please know, we're happy to work with guests when needed, especially when they’re vital to setup, takedown, or something specific. Please chat with us ahead of time so we can help put together a plan.

  • To be fair to you and every other client in my session calendar, I stick firmly to my schedule. Your retainer holds your date, and that spot is no longer available to be booked by anyone else.

    Due to the nature of brand photography and the planning involved for us all, there are financial repercussions to changing your session date more than 72 hours after booking. Non-refundable retainers and cancellation fees cover time already spent on your project, additional labor to reschedule, contractor fees, lost wages, and processing fees.

    We get it, life happens. We are here to support you when extreme circumstances arise and will do so to the best of our availability.

  • Cancellations will result in the forfeit of your non-refundable retainer, plus any additional fees incurred for agreed-upon incremental services, i.e. specialty props or design services, unless cancellation has been made within 72 hours of signing your Agreement, in which case you'll be charged a 10% cancellation fee on your total invoice but will otherwise be refunded.*Non-refundable retainers and cancellation fees cover time already spent on your project, contractor fees, lost wages, and processing fees.

  • For indoor sessions, we'll continue under any and all weather unless the conditions are dangerous and prevent us from safely getting to the site. We’ll be in contact in that kind of situation.

    For outdoor sessions, if conditions are dangerous or likely to prevent us from a successful session, we'll discuss the options of using an alternative location or rescheduling. I'll monitor the weather in the days leading up to the shoot but wait to make an official call anywhere from 4-12 hours out (experience has taught us to wait).

  • Now that we are all well aware of the Covid-19 virus and its implications, the show must go on. Our team is vaccinated and boosted and adheres to all government guidelines pertaining to Covid-19. We will continue to perform services as planned if we can legally do so under applicable local, state, and federal law. If you are immunocompromised or have other special concerns regarding Covid, please let us know what you need. We are happy to accommodate your concerns by wearing masks and taking additional precautions to the best of our availability. Please refer to our rescheduling policies above if you need to reschedule because of Covid.

  • It's a great idea to give yourself a buffer before and after your shoot. We ask for you to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time so we'll have time to unload, talk through your wardrobe, and show you the space before you jump straight into hair and makeup.

    Please notify us if you're running behind schedule, but also stay calm. Your safety is our first priority. We'll do our best to accommodate you within our means, but it's important to understand that late arrivals can leave you with less time for hair and makeup or lost session time.

  • Yes, I photograph everyone, but tend to work with women most of the time. You don't have to use she/her pronouns to receive my services. We are an inclusive business and love to serve a diverse group of people.

  • Yes, I sure do! I've worked with small and large teams, including start-up companies and smaller businesses. I'm happy to chat with a member of your team to build you a custom quote around your particular needs.
