Hi! I'm Claire!
How Claire Alyce Photography All Began
I began Claire Alyce Photography because of a lasting love for preserving memories of people and places. When I was little, my parents always brought the camera along for any and every occasion. I learned from them the value of savoring memories through photos. I remember the first time I got to use a Nikon; I was 10 and giddy at the opportunity. I never could have guessed at 10 that photography would accompany me to Czech, Chicago, Colorado and beyond.
Both of my first names were inspired by great-grandmothers -- Alice and Clara. I'm honored to carry their names. My parents wanted me to have roots in my heritage, while also having my own unique names, thus "Claire Alyce" (Alyce is pronounced like "Elyse").

The Big Picture
My vision is to help you savor your cherished memories and remember the way you felt in the moments that matter most to you. Some moments pass by so quickly in life, but they are precious beyond words. It's those times that I love helping you enjoy for a second time, a third time, and for the rest of your life through images.
Claire Alyce Photography began in Chicago, but I currently live on the eastern side of Czech. It is a privilege to document your sweetest memories, whether that be for your wedding, an engagement session, for two best friends, or for your family when you're together. |
