¡Hola! I’m Alicia, and thanks for visiting my website. I’m a Wellington photographer, based in Petone. I provide headshot, business portrait, branding & marketing, commercial, pet, and wedding photography services in the Wellington, Hutt Valley, Kapiti Coast, and Wairarapa regions, as well as throughout New Zealand. I’m a member of the Advertising and Illustrative Photographers Association (AIPA)
I grew up in Lima, Perú, and spent many years living in Washington DC, where I worked for a chain of gourmet food stores doing purchasing, advertising, and marketing.
More than a decade ago I moved to the coolest little capital in the world – Wellington – with my Kiwi husband. The change provided the opportunity to finally make my dream job – photography – come true.
Headshots and Business Photography
I really enjoy helping people and businesses promote themselves. If you need a new headshot or business portrait, and if it is not convenient coming to my Petone home studio, let me come to you! Corporate headshots and business portraits can be taken at your office using natural light or studio lighting (as I have portable studio lights), or outdoors.
Whether you are self-employed or working for a large company, I can capture branding and marketing content shots for social media, your website, or printed material. These are a great way of conveying a wider message about your business activities, brand, or corporate image.
I do commercial photographic work as well, including interiors, spaces, and product shots.

Pet Photography
I feel very lucky being able to combine my passion for photography with my love of animals. In the past I have had dogs and cats, but we currently have just one adorable tortoiseshell kitty, Misi.
For pet portraits, I often find that your beloved pets are most relaxed at home, in your garden or somewhere they like to play and run. And I also take portraits of pet guardians with their families too! Gift vouchers are also available for pet portrait photography sessions. You could take a look at my blog to give you an idea of what I capture in a pet photography session.

Wedding and Lifestyle Photography
I’ve always been better at observing than at writing, so photography fits with my personality. It’s said that “photography is the art of storytelling without words”, and I’ve been thrilled to be able to capture the special stories of many happy couples. Weddings are just awesome to cover – combining portrait, creative and documentary photography all in one day!
If you are interested in seeing more of my wedding photography, or finding out about great local wedding venues, take a look at my pages on weddings in Wellington City, weddings at Boomrock and in the Ohariu Valley, and Wairarapa weddings. Or you could take a look at some lovely Google reviews I have been honoured to receive, as well as other very kind words that some of my clients have sent me.
Also, if you are a couple thinking about getting married, perhaps think about an engagement shoot or a lifestyle portrait session. It’s great to not only look back at images of your special day, but to have some memories captured earlier as well.
If it’s a family member or a friend getting married, a photography gift voucher makes a great wedding or engagement present. I can customise gift vouchers – for example, a voucher could cover a contribution to a full wedding package, a wedding album, an engagement shoot or a lifestyle portrait session.

Finally, although I’m a Wellington photographer, I love to travel and experience new places (and food!). So I’m more than happy to photograph you, your families, your pets, or your staff and colleagues, anywhere in NZ or overseas. And my blog also includes a few of the images I take just for fun, such as this travel blog of Easter in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, and my Street Cats of the World exhibition images. I’m also thrilled to support Outpawed Rescue Trust by taking the images of gorgeous fostered and adopted kitties for their fund-raising calendar.

Cheers,
Alicia – Wellington Photographer, AIPA
