I’m honored to be mentioned in the recent Tampa Bay Parenting magazine as a recommended photographer for their upcoming Cover Kid Search!

Perfect timing with the holidays coming up, because I have tons of sessions scheduled for the yearly “Holiday Cards”, so there will be lots of eligible “cuties”!

12 Children between the ages of 3 months and 15 yrs will be chosen to grace the cover of Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine (starting Jan 2010)! Great gifts will also be awarded to each child/family selected.

If you’ve already been to the studio (within last 3 months for kiddos 1-12 and within 1 month for kiddos under 1), and you’d like to enter the contest, send me an email with the image number you’d like to submit and I’ll send you a digital web version for you to use. If you want to enter, but like to have my recommendation, just say the word!

You can see more details on their site: Tampa Bay Parenting Entries must be received by October 15, so in order to have enough time, sessions should be scheduled by the end of September.

C’mon! Let’s see if we can fill the every month of 2010 with an Alycia Alvarez Photography portrait! I’m sure I photograph the cutest kids in the Tampa Bay Area (and beyond!!)

This summer has been a whirlwind for me… Even though I’m always glad for school to be out and have less of a “schedule”, I always seem to be ready for that structure by the end of August!

Per usual, I have tons of adorable updates I need to add. I’m actually working on a website update too, so be on the lookout! As always, you can check the blog for current happenings, in addition to the newsletter, which you can sign up for on the splash page of my site. I have some new specials and announcements coming up, so be sure you’re on the list to be the first to find out!

Speaking of updates, you can also find me on facebook and twitter!

I’m also looking forward to some upcoming speaking engagements. The first one is this Sunday in Orlando at the FPP State convention… come see me @ 7:30!

I’m also excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at ImagingUSA in Nashville in January! Check out the latest PPA mag! (ps My dad was pleased to see that I’m performing “LIVE” LOL! ha!)

Here’s hoping you enjoy what’s left of summer break! Be on the lookout for the next newsletter!

It had been a year since I saw her, and although she’s changed a bunch… she’s still got her sass and spunk!

I got to photograph her EXACTLY on her birthday last year AND this year. Love it! (Plus, she’s a JULY baby like me, so of course she’s sassy!)

Here’s a few favs from last year… and a few teasers for her mommy who can’t wait!

Some first steps….

….and NOW… she’s TWO!

love the “pout!!!

little “Ed Hardy” style!

Thanks to my “boy” for letting me borrow his Guitar Hero guitars…. ROCKIN’!!

She’s either trying to tell me she’s TWO or “ROCK ON!”
