SUBSCRIBE TO MY BLOG!Several years ago, I read an interview with rocker girl Gwen Stefani. I don’t think she was pregnant yet, but she was talking about her marriage and plans for children in the near future. She asked “Really, what is more romantic than two people choosing to raise children together?” I know, I know. It can...
- Romance and love are right. Great shot
- Priceless. I LOVE this photo!
- She is a cutie! I love this picture of her!
I’ll always love the Beatles. Anybody a Beatles fan? If so, you might understand the Beatles reference with the repetitive number nines.
On with the 14 hearts blog challenge. No. 9 is pulled from a wedding I photographed in San Francisco, way back when I was shooting with film. I’ve always thought this cake was really...
- Thanks ladies! I'm with you Mindy... I love it when couples really add ambiance to their wedding with great details in their decor!
- Love the cake and the candles together! Great shot!
- Film - how awesome - and a lovely distinctive cake for No 9! This is a great challenge!
If you are new to the blog, I’m in the midst of my first personal blog challenge. I’m posting a heart a day for the first fourteen days of February just for a little bit of Valentines Day fun.
So here is heart number 4. It’s another example of Michelle and I having fun making hearts...
- This is a great image- I love this idea, Alice!
- Hi Lindsay, Thanks for coming by. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but it took me a little while to figure out your little message was a heart... guess I'm not quite as cutting edge as I imagine myself to be. xoxo
- <3
I dipped into the archives tonight to bring you heart number three in the 14 hearts blog challenge, but this one is worth repeating.
Karina and Bruno had an amazing wedding at the Figueroa Hotel in Los Angeles famous for it’s Moroccan flair and the Blue Door. Here is a little fun my second shooters Sonia...
- Erica and I trying doing that one night! We had the wrong kind of flashlight!!! Very cool!
- That is really cool!
I recently heard another photographer say “It is not only our job to make beautiful images for our clients, but to also guide them through to the end of the experience… the end being the final destination for the photography.”
When properly done, an album will tell your story. You can pull it off a shelf,...
- The album is beautiful. Great job (:
- looks great Alice!
- Love, love, love this album!
- My wedding album is the BEST money I spent for my wedding. Fifteen years later, we still take it out and look at it. The kids are fascinated by it too.
- The quality of the album paper and binding is wonderful, combined with your design and gorgeous images, its divine!
- This is fabulous - I love how the images are not constrained to one page. And the double page spread - it reminds me of Life magazine - uber professional and memorable.....
I’ve added a new “photo booth” service as an a la carte option for my 2010 clients. It’s brand new service, so we thought we would try it out last weekend. My niece invited her friends over to my house for a little pre-dance photo party, before they headed out for a great night at...
- Fun- Zany- Silly- slices of cool times! Like it: photo booth :-D
- I love all of them! I was so glad we could use the photo booth, it was great fun, and they turned out so cute!
- Aw! I love them all, but especially the first one!
- What fun - and a cool way to get pictures of your guests (that show personality)!
Back in early November, I had the extreme pleasure and honor of photographing Alma and David, during a photo workshop led by Kurt Gerber. It was yet another perk of attending Pictage’s PartnerCon in New Orleans. At the time of the photo session, Alma and David had only been married for two weeks. They had...

Ernie gazing, Megan beaming, and some yummy Santa Barbara sunshine…
I think these next two images are becoming sort of a signature set for me. I love the cheek kiss, and I love processing them in this vintagey-sepia-love.
Love the sunsets in Santa Barbara!
Michelle drew this cute heart in the sand, and I...

- Thank you Jill!
- lovely, dreamy, sensitive, intimate, true.
The first time we met in person was on their wedding day, yet they felt so familiar… Megan and Ernie are wonderful people… truly lovely. Their wedding day was beautiful, and seemed to flow so easy without stress and complications (minus one ornery zipper on a bridesmaid’s dress).
I’ll start of this post with some photos...
- Sick ring shot!!!
- I love how determined she looks with that camera!
- The junior photographer set her mouth very determinedly with that point and shoot. What a shot!
- What a lovely wedding - especially like the "crowd shots" - - you get the whole experience....

We had a great time in the rural farm country near Phoenix, NY…

A few years ago, I was honored to photograph Piper and Jamie’s beautiful wedding at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA.
Can you say GORGEOUS?
So when I received Piper’s email requesting portraits of their growing family, in San Francisco, I was tickled pink!
Their baby Helena is sooooo adorable.
Piper and Jamie? Why yes, they are still gorgeous,...

Recently, I’ve talked about how difficult it can be to make time for updating my portfolios. Well, I was so thrilled with my newest portfolio, that I just had to design another one, and pronto. Again, I’m in love with the results. Here is a glimpse of what is to come.
I adore...
I love checking the mailbox, even though it is usually just bills waiting on me, to bring them in and out of the cold. The occasional magazine always makes me happy, but when I get a package… look out! I’m like a kid on Christmas morning. Everything is on hold until that...
A couple of years ago, I became fast friends with the extremely talented and very funny Michelle Arnett of Creative Blu. Since then, I’ve had Michelle design all of my promotional materials and magazine advertisements.
I just love this latest wedding postcard she created for me. Thank you Michelle!Michelle’s design studio creates...
Margaret is an amazing veterinarian. I originally met her, after I adopted a dog that Margaret had rescued from an Indian Reservation, in Arizona. I was so happy when she asked me to photograph her wedding! It was great to meet David (also a veterinarian). They first met while studying their profession…...
It is difficult to take the time to keep my portfolios updated with current work. That is why I’m so thrilled to have designed a sample album from a recent wedding. I won’t actually receive the finished product for a couple of months. I’m so excited, however, that I couldn’t wait to...
- Alice, this is a wonderful image! Modern, clean and romantic!
