and this work--photography--is something I believe to be sacred. Capturing your moments is a privilege and I never take that for granted. As a mother, I know that we're never prepared for how quickly life passes by and I am so honored to memorialize your most precious memories. 

Thank you so much for finding your way here.

Welcome!

I'm

Alex,

Get to know me!

My photography approach

Previous career

Elementary teacher! So rest assured I'm no stranger to working with little kids. We'll be BFFs by the end of our session.

My Snapshot

Family life

It's me, my amazing husband and our spunky little two-year old daughter!

Favorite food

Hook me up with some street tacos and a margarita and I'm a happy woman!

Favorite Movie?

Am I a cliche millennial if I say all the Harry Potter's? Oh well, call me cliche!

Two truths and a lie...

I once met Paul McCartney. I won a hula hoop competition. I sing opera. I'll tell you the lie when we connect!

How I approach my work

"Connection over perfection" is my guiding principle as I capture your cherished memories. I want to give it to you straight--I'm not looking to capture the perfect portrait. You won't hear me asking everyone to smile for the camera or ensuring every hair is flawlessly in place. We're going to strip it down to the raw and real moments between you and your loved ones because that's where the true beauty of our lives exists.
