CLIENT LOVE

Over the years my fiancé and I have had a several photo shoots with Alica—What keeps us coming back is her attention to detail, warm personality and the outstanding photos she captures each and every time. As my partner puts it—she is a true artist. Most recently we did a shoot with new addition to the family, 19 day old Ember at the time. We were a bit skeptical booking a shoot during COVID—but truly felt we were in good hands. She made sure to stay socially distanced, welcomed us and made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. We were blown away with the final product and are so happy we chose Alica for our baby’s first photos! We love you 🙂

Alica has such a welcoming energy and makes you feel very comfortable. I was feeling self-conscious before the shoot and she was quick to reassure me that I had little to feel insecure about. Alica and I just met, but we got along so well it felt like we had known each other for much longer. I would highly recommend her in the future! Thank you

I highly recommend Alica Belakova to capture your photos. Not only is she very enthusiastic, Alica pays attention to details and ensures you have a great time at your shoot. She will make sure you are happy with your images and provides great customer service.

Alica’s photos are magical ! She’s so fun to work with and is very professional and I enjoyed the whole experience so much! She has a beautiful vision so be sure that all your photos are going to look amazing! I absolutely recommend and would for sure hire her as a photographer again 🙂

Alica is wonderful!! She took some head shots for me and they turned out looking so beautiful. I really appreciated how accommodating she was with my schedule. I had been in an unexpected situation where I needed head shots in a short amount of time and Alica was able to help me out in a quick session and was able to send the head shots to me, edited, in time. I really appreciated how professional she was through the whole process, with keeping me updated on her process and being organized. She is a strong communicator, which I greatly appreciated in a stressful situation. The session itself was so fun and comfortable. I don’t really ever take photos unless I have to, but Alica has a genuine calm and caring presence that makes it easy to relax around her, and also laugh with her! Also, I think her photos speak for themselves as they radiate her talent and artistry. Go get some photos taken with her 🙂

Loved working with her ! She’s talented, passionate, friendly , and encouraging. I felt very comfortable during the shoot and I loved how the photos turned out. She was able to edit and get the photos to me really quickly. I wouldn definitely hire her again!
