Alicia Johnson - Owner

This is me, Alicia. I’m the photographer and owner of Alicia’s Photography. I love my job and feel blessed every day to photograph you and your families. I feel like I am the luckiest lady in the world to be doing what I love, surrounded by the people I love. I photograph newborns, children, families, high school seniors, headshots, teens, tweens and boudoir for the ladies. It’s a busy life but I love it!

I have always looked for the beauty in day to day things, situations and especially people. For me photographing a person is like reaching into their soul and capturing a tangible snapshot of their spirit. Whether it's kindness, love, gentleness, soulfulness, etc.... It's there within each of us, it just needs to be brought out and captured for all to see. That's the beauty of photography. That's the beauty of my career.

We are a family run business. It’s all hands-on deck. My family is the most important thing to me (thank goodness, since we work together too). I have a handsome and supportive husband, which is not only my partner in life, but also my partner in business. Together we have three awesome children. Our daughter Delaney is our studio manager and keeper of all things important at AP. Our two sons pitch in when needed whether it be IT or set building. It’s such a joy to have a supportive team/family. It certainly makes my studio a happy place to be.

My favorite past time is hanging out with my family. I don’t care what we are doing as long as we are together. I love, taking walks, traveling, green smoothies, lunch with friends and a good dirty martini (with blue cheese olives of course!). I have a love hate relationship with working out. I never take myself too seriously. I love to see the humor in things. And am very aware that each moment in life is a gift. I’m super thankful for each moment and each gift that life brings. I like to surround myself with positive people and I despise drama. My life sometimes plays out like a sitcom (not intentionally). That’s why my husband likes to call me Lucy. I welcome friends in my life that are willing to play the Ethel role (any takers?). You can never have enough friends!

Samantha Jensen – Wedding Photographer

Ever since I can remember I had deep love for people and their stories. I remembered them, carried them with me. I loved to listen, sympathize, and understand what people felt. Then one day I found myself with a camera in hand, realizing that a picture can say so much more and I was in love. In love with idea that a look, a kiss, a smile could tell a story of its own.

My story is simple: I took this love for photography and studied it. While pursuing my love for this craft I found the one thing I love more than my camera, my husband. I have been happily married for two years and am thankful that I get to walk through life with my best friend and soul mate. We recently had our first child and am loving this journey of being a mother. It has shown me a deeper kind of love that I didn’t even know existed. I am a music lover, a runner, a girl who dreams to have her own dark room one day, and I just can’t imagine a world without hazelnut coffee (caffeinated please now that we have a baby).

I feel so blessed that I am finally in a place in my life where I get to live and pursue my passion.

I want to know you. I want to tell your wedding story. Let's take this journey together.

Delaney Johnson – Studio Manager

Hi! My name is Delaney Johnson I am your go-to girl here at Alicia’s Photography!

I am the studio manager here at the studio and am also I charge of our sales and marketing. I graduated from Columbia College with a degree in Marketing and business. I love putting my expertise to work here on a daily basis.

Besides running Alicia’s Photography, you will find me writing for my Fashion and beauty blog, “Same Lane Blog” and staying on top of all things fashion and beauty related. It’s a huge passion of mine. Working at Alicia’s allows me the opportunity to blend my passion and my degree into one workplace because I am also the hair and makeup artist at our studio. I love sharing my knowledge with our clients and making them feel their best for their photo shoots!

One of the favorite parts of my job is organizing and running our Senior Model Program every year. I love working with all of our senior models and watching them mature, feel more confident and realize their true beauty during their time as Alicia’s Photography senior models.

I know it’s hard to believe that I have any down time with everything that I do at the studio but when I have free time, you will find me binge watching Netflix, hanging with my two Great Danes, working out at orange theory, drinking my favorite green smoothie or online shopping.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
