Hi! I’m Alicia Booker, a commercial photographer with over 14 years of professional
experience with e-­‐commerce, catalog, and on-­‐air photography productions; specializing
in home décor, product, food, and beauty. I embrace the creative process it takes to
produce strong images that impact the viewer. One of my favorite parts of a
photoshoot is building new and lasting partnerships, and of course the coffee and
pastries! My focus is to capture amazing photos that highlight your brand and bring
business growth. The entire process is exciting and I hope to work with more creatives
this year!

I picked plants in various stages of growth and the macro lens on my camera provided a microscopic look at each one.
Using Photoshop, I playfully combined different elements of each plant to create new and vibrant flowers, often pulling
the greatest beauty from tiny weeds or buds. These surreal flowers dance with an electrical charge and movement.
