I’ve always been a lover of the quiet, powerful moments that so often go unnoticed.

The way light catches in a child’s eyes.

The quiet glance between two people that says more than words ever could.

The sacred seconds we so often rush through — until they’re gone.

Photography has been a part of my story for over 15 years.

But for the longest time, I kept it small — a “side thing,” a “maybe,” a “someday.”

Something I cherished but didn’t dare fully chase.

Sometimes, our stories don’t really begin until someone else helps turn the page.

That’s exactly what happened with mine.

Someone walked into my life with a love that was rare and steady — the kind that grounds you in peace and lifts you from fear. He believed in me in a way I’ll never forget. He saw gifts I couldn’t yet see in myself, nurtured them, and gently encouraged me to step into them… even though I was afraid.

And then, without warning — and far too soon — his story ended. One moment, he was here. The next, he wasn’t. And my entire world shifted.

That’s when Sacred Seconds Photography was born.

From the ashes of heartbreak.

From a love that changed me.

From the knowing that time is fragile, fleeting, and impossibly sacred.

Not a business plan, but a promise.

To him.

To myself.

To memory itself.

Because now I know:

It’s the little moments that are the big ones — the ones that shape us, that become us.

And no matter how tightly we hold on, they slip away — unless we find a way to capture them.

But my story is more than just my why.

So let me introduce you to the girl behind the lens.

I’m Alicia — a mother to four incredible boys who own my entire heart.

A daughter. A sister. An aunt. A friend.

I know what it means to love fiercely, to hold on tight, and to want to freeze time — even for just a heartbeat.

That’s what I offer through my lens.

Whether I’m capturing seniors standing on the edge of their future, a couple tangled in hope and laughter,

or the messy, magical moments of everyday life — my work is filled with emotion, connection, and soul.

I’m based in Northeast Ohio but I’m ready to follow your story wherever it unfolds.

If you’ve ever wished time would slow down — if only for a second — welcome to Sacred Seconds Photography, where fleeting moments become lasting treasures.

I’d be honored to help you preserve the most sacred moments of your story — the ones that deserve to be held onto forever.

Reach out, and let’s begin. ✨
