One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to document important life stages, from weddings to pregnancies. Erika and I have been friends for over a decade, which made this session all the more sentimental for me. I remember Erika at 18, full of life and positive energy, and here she is married and pregnant and still radiated positive energy and literally full of life. We took these photos at her parents' home, where she grew up and where she got married. It was the most fitting setting for these intimate portraits. 

I used to host the most epic New Years Eve sweaty dance parties. To the point that I had to masking tape all of my CDs to their shelves because the dancing on our hardwood floors would send discs diving to the floor. But then the business grew and my focus shifted. And then my business grew enough to rent an office and studio space and so I decided the New Years Eve party had to come back, but this time at the downtown office! Of course I had to set-up a photobooth, what Ailecia party would be complete without one? It's how the photobooth started. Introducing our newest backdrop... the gold sequins... it's sure to become a favorite for glam kids everywhere!
