thanks for stopping by, checking out my work, and getting to know me a little better.
urban, gritty, and modern with a twist of sweet… to me imperfect is perfectly perfect and imperfectly perfect equals real.
i am a photojournalist, not a portrait photographer. so remember that! my name is alicia jerome. i am urban, gritty, and modern with a twist of sweet and that is what I want my photography to represent. since as far back as i can remember i always looked at the world as though i was looking through a lens. i never see things the way others do and everything is a photograph… and trust me i am not afraid to point that out to whoever is standing near.
born to a mother of an artist, maybe it was just suppose to be that i would make a career of the arts. however, for me the arts were not always my interest. a former college athlete, i picked up the camera after surgeries ended my playing days and started shooting sports to fill the playing void.
after spending time as the director of photography to the university of minnesota’s athletic department, i started my family which triggered my new muse… photographing newborns, babies and children. before the birth of my son I traveled the country shooting college sports and loved it. its a total rush… you feel part of the action. its gritty, sweaty, and action packed!
however, something was missing for me and i found it with the birth of my son. i did not want to miss a thing so i photographed him every second… and still do! the poor kid thinks the lens is just another appendage… i am sure of it. newborns change so fast, and babies become toddlers overnight and then the next thing you know their independent little people. why miss capturing the memories, right?
so the birth of my son was the true catalyst to recreating myself as a photographer. now i travel between northwest arkansas and seattle, washington (my original hometown) photographing newborns, children and families in a way that i hope is anything but traditional.
