About Alicia

Hello!

I'm Alicia.  Mother to the stunning Sadie, sweet Jax, mischievous McKay, and baby Andi.  Wife of patient, perfect Ben.

I'm a native of Seminole, Florida, but I currently live in beautiful Tampa, Florida.  I love Florida's sunny skies, warm evenings, and wacky residents. I spend my days jumping on the trampoline and making PB&J sandwiches for my four crazy children.  And I always have a camera handy to capture life's moments!

In my past life (pre-children), I earned a B.S. degree in Exercise Science at Brigham Young University.  Shortly thereafter I began teaching middle school science in Tampa and earned a Master's degree in Teaching from the University of Tampa.  I "retired" from teaching when my oldest child was born, 14 years ago.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY..... 

Twelve years ago, Sarah, my photographer sister-in-law, convinced me to explore photography.  I will forever be grateful!!!  It was love at first click!  Since then I've read, researched, and been mentored by some fabulous photographers. 

While I initially started in the wedding photography industry, I stepped back from it and pursued family and portrait photography while I was actively growing my own family.  Now that our family is complete I'm thrilled to be photographing weddings, elopements, and couples again! 

MY PHILOSOPHY......

I love pictures that evoke emotion and capture memories - playful interchanges, laughter, and connections. My goal is to get a great mixture of posed and playful pictures with a casual, comfortable feel. I believe every picture you receive should be frame-worthy. Each photograph is edited and enhanced before you receive the finished product.  And I believe  every client should have ownership of all their edited pictures, so I include that in every package.

Life is too wonderful not to document!

Our First Post

Wow!  It’s a lot of pressure to write a very first post.  How about a little background information on who we are and how we got here.

Well, this is a new site but this is not a new business.  Sarah started her photography business, Sarah Meyers Photography, back in 2005.  She had just graduated from USF with a degree in Art and emphasis in Photography.  She had also just married Michael Meyers – my brother.

Sarah’s business and our relationship quickly took off.  A few years later, Sarah, in need of a second shooter at weddings began training me in the art of photography.  I will always be grateful that she so openly has shared her knowledge with me.  It has been a creative outlet and source of happiness for me for many years.

Sarah specializes in weddings photography; and I, Alicia, especially enjoy baby, child, and family photography – although we both do both.  We have fine tuned and developed our style and talent over the years.  Sarah excels in candid photos while I tend to do more traditional posing.  Although, again, we both do both.

We love photographing weddings.  It’s such a memorable, emotion-filled day. We become good friends with our brides and their families as we are linked to them for 6 – 10 hours on one of the most important days of their lives.  Some of our most memorable weddings have been at The Florida Aquarium, The Don Cesar, and Honeymoon Island.  As much as we love weddings, we equally enjoy capturing  precious expressions and beaming smiles of children. We know how quickly children grow and we treasure the photos we have of our children.  It’s so wonderful to provide that treasure for others.

We are both a wife and mother.  Sarah lives in Tampa and has two darling boys – Ethan and Charlie.  I live in New Port Richey and have had three babies in the past four years – Sadie, Jax, and McKay.  We definitely understand children and have many tricks to get them to give us the expressions we aim to capture.  Nothing is more thrilling for us than creating beautiful, creative, quality images for our clients. Perfection is our goal and photography is our passion.
