Your Friendly Neighborhood Photographer

Hi! I’m Alicea (ah-lee-see-ah)! I’ve been described as bubbly, talkative and a bit of a baby whisperer.

I’ve been married to my super supportive husband for over 14 years. Together we have a wonderful 12 year old son and 3 year old rescue dog.

This year, I’m celebrating 11 years as a Professional Newborn, Baby and Maternity Photographer. This is the longest job I’ve ever had and I truly, truly love it! I started my photography business in 2011 doing a little bit of everything, but found my niche in 2015. I made the switch to solely work with newborn, baby and maternity clients.

As a former daycare teacher it only made sense to narrow down my specialty to what I love most. I have extensive experience in early childhood education and care. As well as the knowledge, expertise and experience in newborn handling, posing and safety that has come with over 11 years on the job.

I’ve been honored to make the Expertise Top Minneapolis Newborn Photographers list every year since 2016 and recently made the Expertise Top Maple Grove Family Photographers list!

Minnesota Native

I’m a Minnesota girl through and through. I was born and raised in Coon Rapids (Go Cardinals!), bought my first house when I was 22 years old in Anoka (love that little river town), and finally settled down in Maple Grove where I’ve resided for the past 16 years.

In my spare time I love to read on my Kindle, work on jigsaw puzzles, work out, watch the Minnesota Wild, Vikings and Twins games on TV, and just spend time with my family. I’m fiercely competitive, especially when it comes to board games, card games, video games, nerf gun battles…yeah, pretty much anything.

I can’t wait to meet you and learn more about you and your family, too!
