Davis Family, a Precious White Sands Session

Earlier this summer, we headed to Southern New Mexico for a pretty evening at White Sands National Park with the Davis family. These three were the absolute sweetest to capture, we’re fully obsessed with family sessions at National Parks.

We braved some of the craziest weather with the Davis family, but dang was it worth. We captured the moodiest skies over White Sands and it was truly something incredibly unique. Bring on all the sessions at all the insanely pretty locations!!!!

Patrick + Sydnie, a Golden Hour Family Session

Last fall we got to meet up with sweet Sydnie and Patrick for the dreamiest little family session. This golden hour evening was absolute perfection and we loved soaking up every moment with these cuties.

We first met Patrick and Sydnie years ago when we captured their engagement session followed by their incredible Santa Fe wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza. We adored when we get to capture our couples years down the road with their precious little ones.

We can’t wait for more amazing little family sessions this year and beyond!

Roberta + Her Boys, a Fall Family Session

Spending time in the lush New Mexico wilderness for family portraits is easily one of our favorite little things to do outside of capturing weddings and elopements. Last fall, we spent time with Roberta and her sweet boys for the prettiest evening around.

We adored walking through all of the stunning fall foliage with this tiny family for some super beautiful and really fun portraits. Being able to capture all the little evenings like this one is something we absolutely live for and we can’t wait for more evenings like this one!

Smithwick Family, a Heartwarming Studio Session

Last December was the very first time we got to meet marketing queen Camille, but dang did it feel like we had been friends forever. And as if this sweet little family shoot couldn’t get any better, we also got to capture all the cuteness at the newly opened Light House Studio, the most divine natural light studio in town.

Camille, who owns and runs CRS Social Media Marketing, isn’t just a brilliant business woman, she’s also incredible mamma and wife. The love Camille and her adorable family holds for each other is so apparent, we loved every second of this touching portrait session.

We love love love spending time with adorable little families, we can’t wait for more sessions like this one!

2020 - Moments with Alicia Lucia Photography

2020 was by far one of the most challenging years our team has ever faced, yet through all the difficult descisons and make-or-break moments, we still found the light on the other side of it all.

After an intense global pandemic forced our weddings and shoots to a screeching halt, we weren’t sure what to do, but somehow we found a new path and gained a better perspective on our lives, our business, and our community. We found new ways to capture weddings/elopements and support our couples as they navigated this insane year. And we also found even more opportunities to create beauty through styled shoots and portrait sessions. If one thing is sure, 2020 reminded us of why we set out to do what we do in the first place: love. Watching love win over and over and over again this year, despite all of the odds was something to behold. And we once again fell in love with with what we have the immense privilege of doing, capturing those undeniably beautiful moments of pure joy.

The biggest thank you from the bottom of our hearts goes out to every single couple, family, and individual who continually put their trust in us during a year where everything was uncertain, yet everything mattered even more. And to all of our vendor friends, thank you for riding this one out with us, we’ve never had so much faith in the wedding community as we do right here and now.

No year will ever be quite like 2020, and while we’re grateful to see beacons of hope at start of the new year, we’re forever be grateful for the year that gave us all a chance to start anew and to believe in the magic that is love.

Sutter Family, a Snowy Santa Fe Session

Over the past year, we’ve been lucky enough to connect with the incredibly sweet Sutter family. From capturing Stuart and Kelly’s Los Poblanos elopement to their Fredericksburg, TX wedding to the most serene family session in Santa Fe, we truly struck gold with this family.

Our girl Ashley spent a little time in snowy Santa Fe with the Sutters and it was a perfect prelude to the holiday season. We’ve adored celebrating so much with this amazing family, we’re so incredibly grateful to have crossed paths with each and every one of them!

Hey Sutter family, we can’t wait to see you again and capture even more memories of our favorite Texans!

Kinley, an Old Town Senior Session

We spent a little bit of time this fall capturing some of our favorite kinds of portraits, from families to couples to seniors. We spent the most perfect little evening out on the Old Town Plaza with class of 2021 senior Kinley and we had the best time with this amazing gal.

Not only does Kinley have amazing style and the sweetest aura, she’s also an incredibly talented jewelry designer. Her little business Blue Lemon Designs sells the most unique handmade earrings in New Mexico. We’re always so in awe of what our stellar seniors create right here in the Land of Enchantment.

We can’t wait to see what you dream up next sweet Kinley, we know it’ll be stunning!!!

Tim + Noelle, a Rad Couples Session in the Desert

If you know anything about us, you know that we LOVE hanging with the raddest couples around and we love running around in the desert with them even more. Spending the most perfect evening with Tim and Noelle, the coolest lovers around, was literally how we’d want to spend every single week night forever.

These hot babes have been married for 2 years, but dang do they just give off those madly-in-love feels. They brought their killer style and downright unreal power couple vibes to one of our fave spots, so yeah, we’re just a little obsessed. If you’re looking for married couple inspo, just take a glance at these two because Tim and Noelle only have eyes for each other and wow is it truly captivating to see.
