Join us for 4 days of FREE online classes that will teach you the A – Z’s of photography, as well as how to market, promote, and sell your images.

I’ve joined with 15 other brilliant, experienced instructors in this F-R-E-E four-day course called Newbie Basic Training to share must-have information with photographers with 5 or less years of experience. Brought to you by The Joy of Marketing & White House Custom Color, this is an event not to be missed!

If your phone isn’t ringing, and you’re putting in 60-hour workweeks just to squeak by, then you need to attend EVERY day of this comprehensive course.

Each day builds on the previous, so attend for F-R-E-E November 8, 9, 10, & 11, from 11 am CST – 3 pm CST, and you’ll be walked through:

Posing, lighting, retouching, & using your equipment to get those images that will fill your pockets with cash and cut your work in half. Pricing your photography to charge what you’re worth to make your bottom line skyrocket almost immediately. Avoiding becoming overwhelmed with your business growth so you’re prepared when your business virtually doubles overnight. Not only INCREASING your average sale, but also CLOSING every sale, so you have more money in your pocket, and more time with your family.
And so much more…

If you’re serious about making money with your photography business, register for this course for F-R-E-E- now!

Good news for new TEXAS clients… I’m offering a special on sessions through October 15th!  Also, holiday MINI sessions will be announced soon… be sure you are signed up for the Alycia Alvarez Photography NEWSLETTER to be the first to know!

And for my TAMPA peeps… there are a couple more spots still available in November… Check the calendar for details and availability.

Maternity sessions are some of my favorites… It’s a time to get to know the “soon to be” parents…. and, in this session…. PLAY! I’m always looking for something new, different, fun…. These guys were ALL of the above! Thanks for *playing* and I can’t wait for Baby *E* to arrive… she’s a lucky girl to have such great parents!

Busy editing lots of great sessions I’m anxious to share… But first, here’s a couple of my “baby girl” who is now 11! How did that happen? (My *baby boy* is now 15!  However, he’s not as “into” letting me shoot him these days… not sure why?!? LOL!)

Hope you are enjoying a fun-filled Summer! There are still a few openings left for the Texas JULY special and the August 1-6 Tampa trip! Be sure to check it out HERE, if you would like to book before the spots fill up! Have a GREAT week!

I’m so excited to share some favorites from a recent newborn session of baby K along with some from her gorgeous parent’s maternity session.  She’s now a part of the Bella Baby plan and so I look forward to several more sessions with her and her family in the next year!  

Sad to say, I’ve been a bad blogger once again. BUT… I’m currently editing tons of new sessions and have several others coming up so I’ll have lots of fun stuff to share soon!

I have a couple SPECIALS to share! First of all, for my Texas Peeps… For anyone who has a studio session in July (Keller location), the session fee is only $99 (instead of regular $200) and you will also receive 15% off any collection!  Spaces are filling up quickly for July so shoot me an email or give me a call if you’d like to schedule your July session.

For my Tampa Peeps… you’re in luck too! I’ll be back August 1-6th.  There are still a few spots left if you would like to schedule a session in August.  Details and Availability can be seen and scheduled online HERE.

Also, a huge thanks to all of my great “cheerleaders” too! Be sure to tell anyone you refer to let me know you sent them because you will receive a $50 gift certificate towards your portraits for every referral! I have the best clients ever! Thanks for always spreading the love!

I hope you are having a fun and carefree summer so far! Check back for some fun updates! Since blog posts are more fun with an adorable image… here’s one to tide you over! She’s perfection!

I am honored, excited, thrilled, proud…. all of the ABOVE… to share the current issue of APRIL 2011 PPA Magazine
featuring my image and an article including my images of my amazing clients and some *insights* of my photography business.  I received the call from “PPA headquarters” (aka Cameron Bishop…*smiles*) in February as I touched down in Vegas for WPPI just leaving from speaking at SPA in Palm Springs, CA!  I actually don’t know which I get more excited about… being interviewed or getting to show off my ADORABLE KIDDO clients!

And here’s the full article… Fun *sidenote*… I don’t select the images chosen and was really happy to see my 2 kiddos and 1 furry kiddo were chosen to be a part of the article!
