Hello!
Nature speaks to my soul, making me feel alive and connected at the same time. My hope is for others to experience a similar connection through my photographs. I invite viewers to be drawn in, enjoy the color, feeling, appreciate nature and develop a desire to preserve it. I realize not everyone can get outside and readily explore nature therefore, my aspiration is for my images to bring them joy and a sense of peace.
Ever since my childhood, I have always been drawn to beautiful images, artwork and places. Born in the Boston area and then moving to San Diego, I grew up with access to museums, where I could view photographs, paintings, and sculpture. I have always had a love for glossy images in various magazines. I was drawn to National Geographic, Vogue, other fashion magazines, and Architectural Digest. My desire to create such images as seen in magazines and art museums was always innate in me.
I reside in Southern California with my husband, Edward, two teenagers, and our Australian Labradoodle, Cassie. I enjoy exploring in nature especially in our home town, around the United States and anywhere our passports take us. I especially enjoy wildlife safaris and birding opportunities.
My images have been juried into a photography exhibition, earned awards and featured on photography group home pages. Here are some of those notables:
* We Are So Small was on exhibition at the International Photography Exhibit in Del Mar, California in the Summer of 2023
* Fiery Flower will be on exhibition at the International Photography Exhibition in Del Mar, California in the Summer of 2022
* Incognito Pelican won a Bronze Award in the Bokeh Contest held by Lightchasers Photography Club in San Diego, California 12/11/21

Hope you enjoy visiting my website and find an image you connect with and wish to bring into your home, the home of a client, office, business location or medical facility. If you have any questions regarding the type of print which might look best or sizing, please contact me at alice@aliceschlesier.com.
UPDATE: In addition to my love for all things and creatures in the natural world, I have expanded my gallery to include architecture, travel and people (will be coming soon.) I am available to hire for outdoor portrait, headshot and family photographs.
Thank you for viewing!
