When Real Life Becomes an Adventure Pt. 1 - Finding Yourself in the Unknown

When Real Life Becomes an Adventure Pt. 1 - Finding Yourself in the Unknown

I arrived at a beautiful remote BC resort with a full car of belongings, and an open heart. What more would I need to begin a new summer job among the stunning rugged wilderness? I happily settled into the comfortable staff accommodations and was welcomed warmly by my new roommates. Once I finished unpacking however, I felt my excitement slowly twist into a dark storm of anxiety. I was suddenly faced with one too many unknowns at once. In fact, there was a summer full of unknowns ahead of me, and my imagination was running wild in the worst possible way…

Profile - On The Bones

As I walked into Slaughterhouse Studios to meet with emerging band "On The Bones", I got hit with a rush of nostalgia fuelled envy. How I wish I had known more about this place back when I was still playing in a band! A Slaughterhouse rep welcomed me, and seemed to know that I was coming. He walked me through a dark room with high ceilings that looked like a small private rock club…

About This Blog

Every since I can remember, I have loved to write.  It never quite took over my life the way that music and photography did, but its always been a constant in my life.  Its been a necessity for my sanity.  This blog was created as a way to reflect on my life as an artist, acknowledge my growth and explorations, and share them with whoever might be interested.  I also love learning about other people/artists/musicians and their own unique journey, so I decided I should be open to sharing as well. Feel free to drop me a line, or if you have a blog also, send me a link.  -Alicia

Head Over Heels

Head Over Heels

awoke this morning earlier than I had in over a month.  Gratefully wide awake at such an hour, for I hadn't slept away most of the morning.  Last night I was visciously tired for no reason, and gave in by 10 pm.  This morning I could hear the rain falling and looked over to the window to see a grey gloomy sky.  The rain doesn't bother me much, but it did bring a strange feeling.  Excitement accompanied by sorrow.  I stopped myself from getting up immediately to ponder why such a feeling would grasp me.  And then I realized:  Fall is upon us…

The only gift I wanted this year. 💝👶🏼🎄🥰 Merry Christmas friends! #christmas #xmas2022 #newbornphotography #happyholidays #love
Happy birthday to this gem! 💎 Matt, you are truly missed and I think of you often. 🤗 I took this shot 10 years ago at Hotel Blackfoot - the same place we’ll celebrate Matty Billon Day! ☺️🎂🎤 @laughshopyyc
These smiles are sending me! The first few weeks were crazy, but dare I say things are normalizing a bit around here? I’m trying to take in all these precious little moments. I feel like before I know it I’ll be watching him graduate. Lov
It’s been a wonderful/crazy blur since little Eddie blessed our lives with his presence. Motherhood has been the hardest thing I’ve done with the greatest reward. It’s crazy how permanently changed and in love I am. 🥰 My heart is s
Baby’s arrival is just days or weeks away! 👶🏼💕 We’ve prepared in every way we can and now it’s all just so surreal. Pregnancy has taught me so much about balancing grit and flexibility. Vulnerability and having strong boundaries.
With fall (and motherhood 😄) just around the corner I wanted to share a few faves from a summer shoot I did with the lovely @cardyfox and her gorgeous family. 🥰 I’ll still be shooting for the next month or so until I’m blessed with the
Even when I don’t know where I belong, at least I can say the world is beautiful. I’m not sure why some mornings all I can think about is going for a hike or putting my feet in a river, but I suspect the feeling is strongest when I need t
