Noa, Albuquerque Academy 2015 Senior in Albuquerque, NM | Senior Photographer

The lovely Noa is a 2015 Albuquerque Academy high-school grad. We started her senior portrait session at my studio in Bernalillo, NM and then ventured out to grab some outdoor portraits. I love that she was non-traditional when it came to her senior photos, and even asked to incorporate a fresh flower crowne (incredibly crafted by Stephanie Yardman Floral Design). It was the greatest treat to meet and work with her! 

Amy + Annistyn | Mommy + Me | Albuquerque Family Photographer | Alicia Lucia Photography | Albuquerque, New Mexico

A couple months ago, one of my greatest photography pals reached out to me with a very specific and timeless vision of a mother daughter shoot. Being a busy photographer and mama of three, she knew first hand how incredibly fast time escapes us, and the importance of capturing the tender bond of her and precious Annistyn -- just before she outgrows her lap.. She wanted a sweet, simple, and almost angelic setting. We shot during golden hour, in an open field where the soft sun just poured over them. Amy put her all into planning this shoot and it was perfect in every way (I got some of my all time favorite shots).. Motherhood is so incredibly beautiful, and here is proof.

Amy + Lucas | Maternity Session | Albuquerque Maternity Photographer | Alicia Lucia Photography

Such a special session, with my darling friends Amy & Lucas. They were our first wedding of the season last year, and it is the biggest delight to get to photograph them now, with child! Sweet, precious baby Ella is the luckies to have such loving, caring parents and Amy & Lucas are so incredibly blessed as well. I can't wait to meet her!!!! 

Shaw Family | Albuquerque Family Photographer

I had a great time photographing Ashley & her sweet family. She is actually a local fellow photographer, and one of my second shooters during wedding season, so when she asked me to do her yearly family portraits I was super honored! Aren't her boys the most handsome?? We had so much fun!

Bud & Rebecca, A Cleveland Roller Mill Wedding | Mora, NM

A beautiful preview of the most darling couple, Bud & Rebecca. It has been the greatest joy getting to know these two over the past year, and capturing their love on the most beautiful day of their lives, was truly an honor! Their sweet wedding ceremony was held at the charming Cleveland Roller Mill Museum --- followed by dinner & dancing (and boy was there dancing, thanks to the live Yarbrough Band) at the Historic Plaza Hotel. 

I can't wait to see what the future holds for them --- I know that the fun has just begun!! Happy honeymoon you two!

Mid Season Break | Albuquerque Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Phewwww. It has been non-stop around here since, umm, January? From the surprisingly busy cold winter months where my sweet couples, families and seniors braved the chill New Mexico temps for their portraits, to the spring blossom sessions and then going full force into getting our studio up and running! Now, here we are, mid wedding season (where its not even my peak yet) and this gal is SOOO ready for a mini-vaycay. A chance for me to unplug, refocus, and reset to rock out our insanely busy Sept-November weddings, and christmas card portrait sessions! 

So starting Thursday morning to Tuesday morning I will be away from all non-emergency emails and messages, poolside with a margarita in hand. Anything not time sensitive will be taken care when I get back to my desk Monday evening! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Sweet baby L | Newborn photographer | Albuquerque, New Mexico | Alicia Lucia Photography

At just 26 days old, precious baby Luciano is as sweet as can be! And look at all that hair.. I love it so! 

Shavawn & Rashad | Maternity Photography | Albuquerque, NM

I had such a fun time meeting and getting to know Shavawn & Rashad! I seriously laughed so hard throughout our session together. Miss Aniya is blessed to have such fun, loving, wonderful parents. I can not wait to meet this precious princess, she is going to be absolutely beautiful!
