While the past decade has greatly transformed the field of photography, the rules that govern it have remained the same: a good eye paired with experience and the devotion to excellence is just as important today as in the past. It is to these values that Alicia Hottle pays her undivided attention.

Alicia’s corporation AHotPhoto has also grown into video production and considers all digital media important aspects to visual storytelling.  She has focused her efforts on furthering her knowledge of editorial photography by her sought after re-touching and design skills.  Regardless of her professional growth, at heart she is much like her field of expertise: still mindful to the things that matter most.  Alicia Hottle and the AHotPhoto team provide a superior product.

Alicia studied at the world-renowned Brooks Institute of Photography, located in Santa Barbara, California. She won an esteemed first place portraiture award and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Commercial Photography. After graduation she moved to San Francisco to work for some of the most renowned culinary and advertising photographers in the world. After a professional stink in Los Angeles Alicia moved to St. Louis and has since spent the last ten years perfecting her craft.

Alicia’s experience in professional photography has helped to prepare her to succeed and also inspires her to give back to the community which helped to foster her skills.
