How do I book with you?

Click here and fill out the form and I’ll be in touch soon. From there we will chat about dates and any specific ideas you may have. Once you’ve paid the session fee we get to planning!

How much planning is involved?

Once you’ve booked with me I’ll send over the client prep guide that covers 90% of the most common questions people have when getting ready for their photo shoot. I’ll also ask you to fill out a questionnaire to help me get to know you and your family better. If you are like me and looove extra homework you can spend a few minutes making a Pinterest board to help me see the vibes you love (this is helpful but not required). From there I’m always happy to have a conversation over the phone about your ideas or questions. A few days before your session we’ll touch base to be sure we are on the same page and to go over things like weather, parking, etc.

Where do full sessions take place?

Either in your home or other beautiful nearby location, or we can do both if there is time. Together we can choose a location that works best for you. If you are in Charlottesville, click here for some of my favorite outdoor spots.

When should I book a photo session?

This depends on your goals! Fall and spring are gorgeous in Virginia and weekend dates fill up quickly. If you need print products by a certain date (like Mother’s day or Christmas) I recommend booking for at least 6 weeks ahead.

For those looking for maternity photos, I recommend around the 7-8 month mark for photos, though I’m down for taking your picture up until you are due!

If you want to plan newborn photos, please reach out and let me know your due date and we can talk through possibilities.

“My husband and I have loved working with Alyce over the years. She is truly an artist and has the ability to capture our essence in such a unique and beautiful way. She has worked with us seamlessly in different contexts; we have hired her to take photos of our wedding, our music projects, our family, and each of the galleries she’s delivered has been beyond my expectations. I really appreciate how patient she is with our kids, and that she gives us instructions to help us to relax in front of the camera so that we truly look like ourselves. ”

“Alyce was so professional, attentive, and thorough. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed before and during the shoot. She was extremely engaged in understanding what I wanted and she captured it perfectly”
