“We were so happy with all of your work! The photographs and announcements were gorgeous and everything we had imagined and more! It means even more that all of the photos were taken in the comfort our home. What great memories! We can’t wait to continue working with you as our little boy grows and when he becomes a big brother, too!
Thank you so much for capturing our little boys first days in this world!”

“What can I say about a photographer who’s ability to capture a feeling, a precious moment in time, a life long memory, is sheer brilliance. Alicia proved yet again that she is amazing at what she does and that her talent truly speaks for it self. We couldn’t be any happier with the images of our wedding day, and we thank Alicia from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with photos that truly represent and paint the picture of our special day!”

“It was such a wonderful experience working with Alicia and her hubby/ business partner Anthony. From the get go she was so prompt, thoughtful, and creative to work with. It was awesome to have her meet us in our home just to get to know us a little bit better, so that our pictures matched our personalities perfectly. She tailored the photos to our ideas and wants. Our initial butterflies at the start of the photo shoot went away quickly with their encouraging words & prompts. Alicia is an exceptional photographer whose super creative, has such a great eye, and desire to please her clients. We’re definitely looking forward to our upcoming new born shoot, and many more after that. We found our perfect family photographer! Thanks Alicia & Anthony!”

“I searched for a long time to find the right photographer for our first family portrait, and when I came across Alicia Gines’s website I knew we had found exactly what we were looking for!
The beauty of Alicia’s work is how she finds extraordinary in the ordinary; who thought a half harvested corn field could provide an opportunity for such a stunning backdrop? Every image she captured was unique and breathtakingly beautiful. To say that my husband and I are pleased with the results is an understatement – we can’t wait to take advantage of her artistic ability again in the near future!”

When Alicia asked me if I wanted to do a Boudoir photo session, I was thrilled! I contemplated having a Boudoir photo session for a long time, but I wanted to make sure I found a photographer that I could trust and be open with. Alicia and I had the same ideas about the style and tone for the session. Alicia has a vintage and intimate style. She has a way of working with light and perspective that is rich with emotions and tells a story. Of course I was nervous about bearing all, but she has a way of making you feel at ease. Alicia and I developed a trust and I think it shows in the pictures. I believe there is a misperception when it comes to Boudoir, that it is a naked woman sprawled out on the bed with it all hanging out. Alicia’s photos show something entirely different; there is something left to the imagination. The pictures Alicia took of me are sweet, sensual, romantic and stunning. Thanks to Alicia, I have the most beautiful photos that my honey and I will enjoy for a lifetime.

“Alicia is not only a GREAT photographer but also a GREAT person to work with. She has a natural eye for beauty that is so evident in her photos. She took my maternity photos and she also took pictures of my son in NICU and they turned out beautiful! Alicia and Anthony (her husband) are a great team! I am so excited for my son’s newborn session 
I have no doubt it will be as beautiful…Thanks Alicia for being part of our lives ”

“Alicia Gines is great! My fiance and I met her at a Starbucks to book our wedding and engagement pictures after a friend of our referred her to us. She is very honest and genuine and it immediately becomes clear that her passion for photography is what drives her life. She is very open, professional, organized, and prepared! She gathered information about us to get to know her better and then told us more about her. She brought TONS of samples of different types of paper possibilities for prints and different types of albums or individual pictures. You should look at her pictures on both her blog and her website to see her amazing talent!”

“Alicia and her husband, Anthony, are wonderful. They came to our home to photograph my 3 week old and 3 year old sons. I was so impressed with the way she handled my newborn and the way she positioned him into the positions while sleeping! In between when my newborn would wake, they would both be so patient with me nursing and getting him back to sleep. They were the most patient couple ever, especially with my toddler who was full of energy and not to cooperative at times! We are so excited to have Alicia photograph our family on a regular basis!”

“What attracted my fiance and I to Alicia, as a potential photographer was her creative ability and her style of photography. She truly strives to make each session different from any other she’s ever done or any photograph found online… she definitely makes each experience unique! Alicia took the time to get to know us and we loved the style guide she created to capture our personalities in our pictures. Her and her husband are such a great team and its awesome to watch them feed off each other’s creative juices to create GORGEOUS images that we will cherish for a life time. If you’re looking for a photographer that has a passion for photography, is creative in every way and someone is responsive to your wants, needs and desires… Alicia’s your girl!!!”

“Talk about doing whatever it takes to get “the shot”. This must be her philosophy and work ethic because that is always what she does no matter what the circumstances may be. This time it happened to be knee deep in mud and a foot in the water! I cannot say enough about Alicia and her ability to capture our families moments and freeze them in time for many years to come. The highlight of my baby’s milestones is knowing she will be there to ensure that these memories will last a lifetime. I cannot wait for our 6 month shots and what she has in store for us this time. It is hard to believe that she will out do herself, but somehow she manages each time.”

“Alicia Gines Photography is absolutely fabulous! I am so thankful that I chose her to take newborn portraits of my daughter. Alicia was so kind and patient with us and she made it easy to like and trust her. She captured gorgeous images and really worked to make sure that we got the shots we wanted. When my daughter was fussy and things weren’t going well, she made it right by coming back a second time to ensure that we were happy. I think that is really a testament to her professionalism and her desire to make sure that her clients are happy and satisfied with their experience. I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful pictures and a positive experience!”

“What can we say about Alicia? She is amazing at what she does! She’s talented, creative, detailed, and professional. From the moment we saw her work on her website and blog, we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding and take our engagement photos. We recently had our engagement session with her and her husband, and we cannot stop looking at our photos. She’s willing to try new things and bend over backwards to please her clients and to get that “perfect” shot. Her knowledge and expertise in photography, lighting, detail, etc. shows in each of her photos. We cannot be more pleased with our experience with Alicia. We are looking forward to our wedding even more so now, knowing that our memories, that have yet to happen, are in good hands.”

“We had a great experience working with Alicia Gines & her husband! We chose Alicia Gines Photography because of the amazing albums we saw when we first visited her website. We were nothing but pleased with our decision. When I first contacted her, she was quick in responding to my emails with any questions we had. I had been on bed rest for weeks & still wanted to have our photos taken so I asked Alicia if she could come over & do the shoot at our home. We had the shoot two days after that & personally, I didn’t expect the photos to be so amazing as it was done at our home without much cool scenery except for a lake. We were impressed on how the photos turned out! Sometimes it’s not always the background of a photo but it’s the combination of lighting, colors & creativity! I am so happy with our decision to go with Alicia Gines and would recommend them to anyone & look forward to working with her & her husband again in the future!”
Lisa and Chris said…
“Words can’t even describe how great Alicia is. When we first met I left the consult so excited and so happy that I was able to find a photographer who was so sweet and genuine. Alicia and her husband are really nice, down to earth people! Ever since our meeting the first time I have done nothing but say how great she is and how excited I was to be working with her! Alicia is so professional and super creative! My fiance and I were open to any ideas Alicia had and wanted her to let her creativity juices flow. She surprised us with a HUGE poster of a tree she drew that had Polaroids hanging from it which we had to color in special things in our life together! It was such a brilliant idea! I loved every second of it! She’s very professional and definitely has an eye for the art of photography. Thank you for capturing our love for one another and creating new memories for Chris and I to share for the rest of our lives. I honestly can’t thank you enough for working with us! I look forward to a long lasting future of beautiful pictures!”

“How do you thank someone and sing their praises when you have no words that would do either justice? You cant…but I can tell you that is how we feel about Alicia and her work. I am a wedding planner and I know the importance of a quality photographer and more importantly, a connection a professional and their clients should have. Alicia surpassed my expectations and let me tell you, I have high expectations. Her calm demeanor and patience allowed for the most incredible photo shoot of our baby girl’s newborn photos. Her professionalism, eye for unobtrusive beauty and ability to capture priceless moments is astounding. We are already thinking about when we can have her back for more! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts…you are a part of our little girl’s life forever with the amazing gift you have given us.”

“From the moment I laid eyes on Alicia’s work I was determined to schedule a consultation with every intent of booking her right then and there. From the beginning Alicia has been personable, kind, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. She is the epitome of what a professional should be, maintains excellent communication, and is really willing to work with her clients in every aspect from pricing, to planning, and scouting locations. During our recent engagement shoot I was a little worried about how my fiance would be, because he is very shy and uncomfortable in front of the camera. Alicia was able to capture beautiful, and genuine images of both of us without them looking forced. We both really enjoyed the experience, the location, and the company of Alicia and her husband Anthony. We plan on being lifetime clients of Alicia Gines Photography, and cannot wait for her to capture all the moments of our wedding day, and our future family!”
Stephanie & Juanito said…
“Our engagement session with Alicia Gines photography was an amazing experience. My fiance and I at first were a little nervous about being in front of the camera but Alicia made it very comfortable for my fiance and I. We were able to be ourselves and enjoy the moments that we had during our photo session. We are glad we did this engagement session that way we would be comfortable with Alicia and get to know her before our wedding comes next year in April. During the engagement session Alicia was very receptive to any ideas or input my fiance and I had with how we wanted our pictures taken. I can say overall it was an experience my fiance and I will remember. Alicia and her husband, Anthony are very down to earth people and just conversing with them and looking at how our engagement pictures came out, that we definitely chose the right photographer for our wedding. We can’t wait till our special day to be captured by Alicia Gines photography.”

“I am having trouble picking my favorite photo because they all turned out so well. It’s hard to believe that after only two days of shooting you could have come up with a quality product such as the calendar. Usually I find myself trying to capture the intensity and quality of training that we do by taking pictures. We always fall short and end up with a bunch of digital files that end up taking space in my computer. I have been showing co workers the pictures and their comments are always positive and geared towards the quality of the photography. It’s hard to believe that only a month ago a firefighter calendar was just an idea and now to have a finished product in my hand, it looks amazing. Thank you Alicia for all your hard work, your skills and professionalism are second to none. Again thank you.”
