View Highlights From My Portfolio
MATERNITY

Want to Celebrate a Growing Family?

Schedule

Maternity photos are typically best taken between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. When you contact me long before that, we'll schedule in that time frame, and we'll adjust as needed.

Style

My style leans more toward lifestyle maternity rather than super-posed, in-studio maternity. Think "holding the ultrasound," "folding baby clothes," "reading a story to the baby bump." Those are my jam.

Join In

Partners and other children are welcome to join in on a maternity photo shoot. I ask that no more than eight people participate in the maternity photo shoot unless previously cleared with me.

NEWBORNS

Want to Remember Forever How Tiny They Were?

Schedule

Fresh 48 sessions are taken in the hospital after birth. At-home newborn photos are typically best taken between 7-14 days of life. At this point, babies are still pretty sleepy and flexible, and they're old enough to have packed those extra pounds back on after birth. Babies are newborns until six weeks, though, so don't worry if your baby is older for our photo shoot.

Style

Fresh 48 photos are 100% documentary-style in the hospital. For neworn photos at home, I have a portable studio that I set up in clients' homes. My style leans more toward lifestyle newborn rather than super-posed, in-studio newborn. Think "holding the baby," "baby in crib," "nose-kisses with the baby." Those are my jam.

Join In

Partners, grandparents, and other children are welcome to join in on a newborn photo shoot. I ask that no more than eight people participate in the newborn photo shoot unless previously cleared with me.

FAMILY

Want to Document Time Spent with Family?

Schedule

Maternity photos are typically best taken between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. When you contact me long before that, we'll schedule in that time frame, and we'll adjust as needed.

Style

My style leans more toward lifestyle maternity rather than super-posed, in-studio maternity. Think "holding the ultrasound," "folding baby clothes," "reading a story to the baby bump." Those are my jam.

SENIORS

Want to Commemorate a Life Achievement?

Schedule

You've worked hard, and now it's time to celebrate! I typically schedule senior sessions through the months of May and November, but it's never too early to book.

Style

My style is a mix of candid and posed. Don't worry, I'll tell you how to pose and where to look, but I'll make sure to get some of you genuinely laughing and genuinely being yourself.

Props

Seniors are welcome to bring props if they wish, including medals, instruments, letter jackets, etc. I don't limit outfit changes, so pick as many or as few as you want.

BRANDING

Want to Build Your Business?

Schedule

Branding photos and headshots can be taken any time, any day. Whatever it is you're looking for, let's make it happen.

Style

My style is a mix of candid and posed. Don't worry, I'll tell you how to pose and where to look, but I'll make sure to get some of you genuinely laughing and genuinely being yourself.

Retainer

I offer retainers for businesses that need weekly or frequent content, such as real estate agencies and influencers. Message me for more details!

PRICING

What's Included?

Professionalism

When Grandma Milna tells me during the Cha Cha Slide that I look shrimpy and need a sandwich, I’ll reply with a polite, “I do love a good sandwich,” and continue about my work. No matter the situation, I will always treat your guests, your family, and your vendors with kindness and respect.

Reliability

We've all heard the horror stories of couples being ghosted by their photographer after the wedding, left waiting for photos that never come. That will never happen with me. This isn’t a random side hustle—it’s my full-time career. You can count on me to show up, deliver, and exceed your expectations.

Consistency

From the first conversation to the final gallery, you can expect the same level of dedication, artistry, and attention to detail every step of the way. What you see in my portfolio is the same caliber of work you will receive, I can guarantee you.

Skill & Experience

Talent is just the beginning. I’ve spent years refining my craft, mastering light, composition, and storytelling so that every photo reflects the magic of your day.

Work Ethic

I don’t just show up and snap pictures—I pour my heart into every event I shoot, going above and beyond to capture every moment. I’m a busy body, and I’ll be where the action is. From cousin Rita belting Summer Nights to your sister’s new boyfriend break dancing on the table, I’ll capture it all.

Quality

Every image is carefully and masterfully edited, curated, and delivered with the highest standards, ensuring you have timeless photos you’ll cherish for years to come.

Attention to Detail

From fixing a stray hair to making sure your outfit is perfect, I’m always paying attention to the little things that make a world of difference.

Flexibility

Weddings can be a bit unpredictable at times, and I’m ready to roll with whatever the day brings. No matter what, I am your cheerleader and your hype girl. Yeah! You've got this! You go out there and get married and have the best dang day ever!

Creativity

Your event is unique, and your photos should be too. I approach every photoshoot with fresh eyes, creative ideas, and a passion for storytelling. I want to snap photos that transport you back in time

I enjoyed the pictures I received. Alicia helped us prep before the pictures by helping advise what colors to wear. When working with my family and 2 dogs, she was patient and kind. We are signing up for more pictures in the future.

Kayza & Vine Iowa Senior Photographer Alicia Pette 2024 in Lavender Field Iowa City, IA
Alicia has a rare ability to bring out the best in people and capture it at just the right second. What a great experience it is to have photos that capture an essence perfectly. She is so easy to work with; I look forward to working with her again
Andrea
“Alicia is very wonderful to work with! She listens to exactly what you want but also has great suggestions. She is easy going, flexible, and is a photoshop wizard if you need anything extra done
Amanda
Kayza & Vine took my professional headshots, and I am IN LOVE!!! It was such an amazing experience to work with Alicia. She is so creative and brilliant, and I am so thrilled with how the photos turned out. I highly recommend her!!
Rose
I came to Alicia to create a business logo. She took care and consideration in every aspect of helping me navigate that first step in my business endeavor. Alicia created many mock ups with different colors, designs, and fonts for me to collaborate on and choose from. She laid out the possibilities in a way that was not at all overwhelming. I felt supported and heard throughout the entire process of her cultivating the beginning of my business with the logo. I am forever grateful for her kindness, patience, and pure talent
