OUR TEAM

  • ALICIA JOHNSON

    OWNER, PHOTOGRAPHER, & EDITOR

    Hi! I’m Alicia Johnson, and it’s my joy to invite you into my world of photography — a world where moments are preserved, and stories are told through the lens. My passion for capturing the beauty of life began long before I picked up a camera.

    It all started when I was in fifth grade. My teacher, Mr. John Beehler, offered us a choice: a photography class at a local studio or horseback riding lessons. While all the other girls in class chose the latter, I felt a pull toward the camera. And from that moment, I was hooked. I spent countless hours exploring the magic of light, experimenting with different techniques, and learning to freeze fleeting moments into memories that would last a lifetime.

    What draws me to photography is the power it holds to evoke emotion — to capture those quiet, tender moments that tell a much deeper story. Whether it's the joy of new parents with their baby, the pride of a teen ready to graduate, or the anticipation of a mother-to-be, each photograph is a moment in time that I’m honored to hold onto forever.

    Though I specialize in portrait, fine art, and travel photography, I’m always open to exploring new creative challenges. For me, every shoot is a collaboration, a chance to bring your vision to life and craft something uniquely beautiful.

    When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me tending to my garden or savoring moments with my family, friends, and three fur babies — the ones who fill my life with love and laughter.

    Thank you for taking a moment to learn about me and my work. I’m truly excited to connect with you and create timeless memories that you’ll treasure for years to come.

  • DELANEY SMALL

    STUDIO MANAGER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

    I'm Delaney Small, and I wear MANY hats here at Alicia’s Photography. I am the studio manager in charge of scheduling, sales and marketing. I also direct and design a lot of our programs, including our Senior Model Program, Santa Experience, all of our stylized mini sessions, along with set design. I'm passionate about bringing creativity and organization to every shoot.

    One of the favorite parts of my job is organizing and running our Senior Model Program every year. I love working with all of our senior models and watching them mature, feel more confident and realize their true beauty during their time as Alicia’s Photography senior models.

    With a degree in business and marketing, paired with a background in the photography business along with a passion for styling and hair & makeup, I’ve combined my passions to create stunning visual stories.

    As the studio manager, I ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, from scheduling appointments to coordinating with clients and overseeing the day-to-day operations. My goal is to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for every one of our clients.

    In addition to managing the studio, I'm also an experienced hair and makeup artist. I believe that the right hair and makeup can elevate any photo shoot, enhancing natural beauty and bringing out the best in our clients.

    When I'm not busy at the studio, you can find me and my husband decorating and renovating our home, loving on our pups and waiting patiently for our baby boy to arrive.

    Hello! I'm Samantha Jensen, and I'm thrilled to be part of the creative team at Alicia’s Photography where I bring images to life through the power of editing.

    With a degree in photography, a background in visual arts and a passion for storytelling, I found my niche in the world of photography by photographing engagements and weddings and editing for Alicia’s Photography. I've spent years perfecting my craft and honing my skills to ensure that every image that leaves our studio is nothing short of breathtaking.

    As a photography studio editor, I have the privilege of working closely with Alicia to transform their raw captures into polished masterpieces.

    What I love most about my role is the opportunity to play a vital part in bringing our clients' visions to life. Whether it's a couple's dreamy newborn photos, a family's cherished memories, or a brand's captivating visual content, I take pride in ensuring that every image reflects the unique story and personality behind it.

    When I'm not immersed in the world of pixels and Photoshop, you can find me loving on my four beautiful littles and my sweet musically talented husband. Life Is busy but I wouldn’t have It any other way,
