More about Alicia F....
What do you love about your job?
Photography has always been a positive experience to me. It is something that always bring my mood up even on my worst day. I also love seeing my photoshoots bring joy to my most nervous or unsure clients, because lets face it, not everyone loves a camera in their face. I been doing freelance for years and I love meeting new people and capturing memories for them. The joy it brings people after receiving my photos, that they now have something to keep forever, makes me love my job.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done many engagement shoots in the past, they are one of my favorite to shoot. To make these truly special I try to create an atmosphere where the couple can be playful or intimate and not feel uncomfortable in front of me. I encourage them to not pose, to pretend I'm not even there. I ask them to be natural and goof around with each other as they would if I wasn't there. I think this makes it special for the couple because they now have photos that truly represent their relationship and how they truly interact with each other.
