The response still echoes with such vividness..."experience." "Just play around with it." "You don't know until you try." I think I was just so afraid to commit to what was ahead of me. Although I couldn’t help but be submissive to the leading to just go for it. This is how I, Becca Alves fell in love with photography. Not just taking pictures, but the whole experience. I was getting the opportunity to capture the lives of the people standing in front of me waiting for me to tell them what to do and where to stand. "Just do what you normally do." That is all I wanted them to do. That is the only way I could get a feel of what to capture. Personality then becomes unleashed. This is when I saw it...there are all these little things that happen in the crevices of life that aren’t always so easily recognized until they are captured in a still “hard copy” photograph.

I love to see that joy on a mother’s face when I have successfully captured the personality of their child in action. As well, developing a full shoot of a self-conscious teen where they soon recognize themselves as a beautiful creation. This is an experience I will never trade for anything. A family reunited, each filled with an indescribable peace and joy of getting to share life with each other again. Each a different audience: they all needed to be reminded. Another reason why a busy mother will never pass up a picture of their child’s joy frozen in a way they can be reminded of anytime of the day they want. Their children are their joy; and it is MY joy to have the privilege of being the one with the task to capture. I love my “job” and I pray everyday that I will have the ears to hear and the eyes to see the vision for the subjects being shown to me through the lens I hold in my hands. Photography is just my medium of worship and I get to spend my life making music that is heard when photos touch the hands of the ones waiting to see the art created by allowing me, a photographer, to capture who God sees them to be.

This is the inspiration behind my job and I wanted to share that with each of you. As you have seen on the rest of this page, I now have the privilege of being a wife and God has blessed me with an amazing husband, who has dedicated himself to be my partner in this business. John knows my passion, desire, drive, and absolute love for this gift I have been given as this as my career. He is what I call my ‘project manager.’ Thankfully, God has equipped him to take care of the key organization elements of my job. My finances, technological issues, product/equipment supply, marketing, love and support all come from him. As you can see most of what I have listed is so very necessary for all of what I do to be fulfilled. You will see him handing out business cards to many of the people he meets on an everyday basis, assuring people of the kind of business we do and how we take care of our clients. We love to work together and most of all, we make a dynamite team.

John and I would both love to meet each of you, even if it means you just have questions for us. Please contact us and again, we would love to take photos for you, your children, your child’s birthday party, senior photos, graduation, another event you are hosting, an engagement, wedding, or just because you would like to embrace the experience!
