my first camera...

was a waterproof Canon point and shoot. It was grey and red and apparently wasn't actually waterproof, so my mom got it at a discount. Ten-year-old Alexa was over the moon. I loved taking pictures of my friends and the anticipation of waiting to see how they turned out.

My family loved photography and would sit around the slide projector on quiet evenings, reminiscing and being transported back in time. This emphasis on preserving members allowed me valuable time to grow up with a deep appreciation for light, colour and the art behind photography.

I now have the immense pleasure and privilege of photographing families, friends, wedding parties, moms-to-be, and newly engaged couples. I love capturing the moments between the 'big stuff' - the quick glance that is so full of adoration or a genuine smile or laugh that could not be held in. These moments are fleeting, often going unnoticed, and one of the many reasons why I love photography: We get to capture those split-second moments and freeze them in time.

Let me help capture your next event or milestone so you can be present and have incredible memories to go along with your beautiful photos.
