I'm passionate about
Printed photos are the easiest thing to pass on from generation to generation. They're the best way to create legacy and for your story to continue to be told and remembered by the people who love you. The time goes fast. Take all the photos. Make all the videos. Print your memories.

02 — I believe our shoot should be so much fun that you forget you're being photographed! I want you to be excited to hire me over and over again.
I want you to feel beautiful and like yourself in your photos. I know you feel awkward in front of the camera but I'm a posing BOSS and will make certain you feel natural and gorgeous. No stiff posing here!

My Values
what matters to me
Utah is home but I have traveled all over in search of experiences and connections bigger than myself. When I'm feeling motivated you can find me hiking, camping, playing sand volleyball, and snow boarding. But mostly you can find me drinking wine, writing, hanging with my favorite people, and researching our next travel adventure. I try hard to live intentionally and love everyone, including the planet, and I'm a big believer in squeezing everything I can out of life. I'm always challenging myself to live with less fear and more passion, and I hope to teach my daughter to do the same.
I've loved photography since I was a kid but in 2011 I decided to get serious and went to photography school in Missoula, Montana. Since then I've photographed hundreds of weddings and thousands of portrait sessions. I believe that our stories matter.
Nothing sparks my interest more than learning about and connecting with people. The mundane things, the deeper things, the "what has your human experience been like?" things. And it's the beauty and complexity of womanhood and motherhood in particular that most inspires me to create. I love exploring the richness of your connection to the people who are most important to you, and all the different parts of who you are as a woman and how you are becoming.
After having my daughter in 2021 I've been slowing down and enjoying a more relaxed pace. My focus has shifted away from weddings and entirely into documenting women and families, which feels like such a natural fit for this season of life. My goal is to create something genuine together that tells your story in the most beautiful artful way possible. I want to create images for you that I would want someone to create for me.
and what i can do for You!
Because you're here, I already know you're a kind, open-minded human who, like me, seeks out meaningful art and wants to have her story told in a moving, intimate way. Professional photography is an investment in you and the people you love. Life goes by fast. The kids grow up in a blink. Your body evolves right before your eyes. It's your story and it deserves to be told and remembered. I'm glad we've found each other.
I know that being photographed can feel SO uncomfortable and awkward. I've been there! When we're shooting together I want you to feel relaxed and totally at ease. I keep the conversation flowing and give you lots of guidance and prompts so you're never left wondering what to do next or if you're "doing it right". I may throw in a naughty joke or some sarcasm, because when you're laughing with me and engaged with your people, you're not thinking about being photographed, which means I can capture you as naturally and creatively as possible.
I'm not interested in ticking off a shot list or recreating pinterest perfection. Instead I focus on real emotions, details, and in-between moments. I will take a few "look at the camera and smile" shots because maybe your mom will want one or you want some for posterity, but that's not really why we're here. We're here to tell your story in an authentic way.
ALEX IS LITERALLY INCREDIBLE. I’ve always considered myself a non-photogenic person and also someone who’s pretty self conscious, and Alex had me forgetting both of those things in the first 5 minutes of shooting. She will have you laughing and feeling SO good about yourself the entire time. After my shoot, all I could think about was how amazing Alex was, and I hadn’t even seen any of the photos. AND THEN I GOT THE PHOTOS AND LOVED HER EVEN MORE. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s the best!
Tara
Loved how ALEX WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE OUR FAMILY PERFECTLY! She truly knows how to document and capture people and it is expressed throughout her images! We loved everything about our experience working with her! Thank you for creating something so beautiful that we can cherish for a lifetime! We love our photos!

ALEX IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE SPIRIT ANIMAL. The photos were candid, not staged, and she always seemed to capture the light just right. She was sweet, attentive, and took great shots of all my family. She was never pushy, laughed often, and was a GREAT photographer. I work in fashion, and I was blown away with her ability to see great shots. Two of my good friends were married this August as well and we attended each others weddings. Both girls wished they would have hired her for their weddings. SHE IS MAGIC!
Diane
ALEX IS A TRUE ARTIST by every definition of the word. Her ability to work with natural light and shadows is second to none. I had an idea of what I wanted my photographs to look like and she delivered pictures that were better than I expected! She was so professional and great to work with. I highly, highly, highly recommend her as a photographer!
Katrina
I’ve had several sessions with Alex over the years, most recently she did an in-home motherhood session with me and my kids. The pictures turned out wonderful, as always! ALEX HAS A GREAT EYE FOR GETTING BEAUTIFUL PICTURES THAT DON'T FEEL STAGED/BASIC/POSED. The pictures are warm, vibrant, loving. I’m so impressed with how our in home session pictures turned out, and I WILL CHERISH THESE PHOTOS ALWAYS.
Irene
ALEX IS BEYOND AMAZING! Not only we had so much fun at our photoshoots, our photos are dream! I’ve done quite a few photoshoots in my life and she is my absolute favorite photographer! the way she connects and guides my child during the shoot, the way she captures light and gives soul to the images! SHE IS WELL WORTH IT!
Sharon
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED ALEX! She was so creative with my bridals and engagements. Every photograph she took was perfect for Landon and I and really captured who we are as a couple. She made us feel comfortable during all of our photo sessions, which made taking photos the least stressful part of our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process she provided me with flexibility and support. Any couple would be lucky to work with her and will appreciate her organization and commitment to her clients. WE CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT HER.
Ashley
BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING! What a great experience. She made us feel so comfortable and explained things to help us relax so we looked like ourselves. Alex kept me sane by guiding me through all of my pre-wedding questions and helped me have the most perfect and smoothly running day. On the day of, she was incredible! Photographing hundreds of people is like herding cats and she took charge of all of them. Our pictures turned out so amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.
Averi
She was incredibly friendly and made both myself and my husband feel comfortable right away. She made sure to ask if there were any shots in particular we wanted and I really appreciated the way she listened to what we were wanting throughout the shoot. She also has such a great ability to pose us in ways that looked natural, but still so flattering. Her attention to detail was amazing. Best of all, she is an amazing hype girl and made us feel so confident. All of this was wonderful, but when I got the gallery I could not believe how STUNNING the photos were. EASILY MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PHOTOS OF MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF. I am so grateful we decided to book with Alex. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to capture authentic moments with their family, partner, or even just themselves!

Are we a good fit?
You trust me to make art for you and know that you will be able to relax into the experience and enjoy our time together creating.
You're not afraid to run, play, dance, be silly or make out in front of me.
You dig all sorts of images: as long as they show you and your people as you really are.
You're not committed to perfection. Wind blown hair, cranky kids, soft focus, or dirt on your clothes won't bother you.
You're looking for mostly candid, movement based images that focus on connection and real moments. Stiff poses and forced smiles kill your vibe.
