waves of indigo, a styled shoot out

Over the weekend, we hosted our first ever styled shoot out! A wickedly talented team of incredible vendors and models came together and helped make my crazy wild indigo theme shoot come to life.

I met a group of super amazing fellow photographers, who traveled from all over New Mexico to come to this shoot! We split up the day into three different parts. Starting first with details, photographing things like the stationary suite made by the amazing Julie Haider Design, florals and set by Stephanie Yardman Floral Design and custom made mini French Macarons by New Mexico Pie Company.

We then moved to the bridal portion with both of our stunning models who were completely made over by the amazing Britney-Rae Sanchez and nail design by Bridget Herrera! We wrapped up the day with a vintage bed and with some gorgeous boudoir images of one of our models, Christina. It was such a whirlwind of fun and a super humbling experience getting to work with both the vendors, and attendees! I'm so excited to share these images with you!

Birthday sessions | First Birthday Photographer | Albuquerque, NM

The last couple months have been crazy busy with wedding season that I haven't had time to blog about the sweet little ones who have stopped by the studio for their birthday sessions! 

So much fun and tons of laughs with these darling little loves.

Isabella | 16 Days | Newborn Photography | Albuquerque, NM

Precious, bright eyed Isabella is truly a princess! As daughter of John & Danielle Tennyson (who have both served on the Santa Fe Fiesta Court, and momma was the Queen), she truly is born into Santa Fe royalty. I had the best time snuggling this sweet pea, and i'm so looking forward to watching her grow!

Zoey & Family | Alicia Lucia Photography | Albuquerque, NM | Family Photographer

When you think of where you want to invest $250, what immediately comes to mind? Perhaps a new spring wardrobe, maybe you'll save it towards a bigger purchase like the latest and greatest tech toy out there? Well Shannon decided that she'd invest $250 into tangible memories of her sweet 6 month old and still moments through photographs of her brand new family of three.

I am always so incredibly humbled when new clients reach out and inquire about a portrait session (or wedding); most especially when they reach out months in advance to book a session, budget & save because they recognize the quality work & great experience they will receive. Shannon inquired early this year and shared with me the importance of capturing these fleeting moments of her precious baby girl. She knew she wanted to invest in my professional photography services & was confident that my work was worth saving for. They traveled all the way from Las Cruces for their session and now have these beautiful photographs to admire for life.

Thank you Shannon, Alex & Zoey & to all my sweet clients. I am so appreciative of those who take note that I pour my heart into every session, value my work & allow me to be a part of these passing moments that will be cherished for eternity through still photographs! <3
 

Alicia was amazing! She worked with us and our schedule because we were coming from out of town. She responded quickly to emails and was very helpful with all my questions. She took amazing photos of our daughter and great family shots! I will be returning to her for future photo sessions!

Mommy + Me Session | Albuquerque Photographer | Alicia Lucia Photography

I think its safe to say that I left this session with that much more of a happy soul. Little miss Andrea turned two this year - she was absolutely adorable and so vivacious, which made our studio session together a breeze! When it was time to take portraits of both Andrea and her momma, I knew I was in for a treat. These two have a connection like no other. So in sync and cohesive, you can see it in every.single.photo. I was so honored to capture their sweet bond.
