Family sessions
Photos are an investment in your memories and legacy. Set aside the reasons why not and embrace the right now.
I want to change the way we all think of family photos. As a busy Mom trust me, I get it. Prepping for family photos is A LOT. You have to find a photographer, pick a date, chose a location, invest the money, shop for outfits for everyone, have your hair and nails done, get everyone ready the day of, drive to the location, and hope that after all of that, your kids are in a good mood and no one ruined their outfit in transit. Overwhelmed already? Me too. Let's take the pressure off of all of this. Family photos should be a time to document all the love you feel and the fun you have. A time to let the kids play and be at ease, with snuggles, kisses, and laughter flowing in abundance. Nothing forced. Nothing fake. Read on to see what to expect from a family session.

I understand how tough it can be to relax during what feels like a high pressure situation. You've invested so much into this shoot after all! But I promise you that everyone in your family will take their cues from your energy. The more chill you are, the more themselves they will be. You can trust that I will create beautiful images for you. Your job is to release control and enjoy the time with your family.
Let loose
There is nothing that stresses parents and kids out more than forcing them to do something they don't want to do. That's not what I'm about. Most of what we shoot will be movement and interaction based and very few images will be of you looking at the camera and smiling. The more creative I can be, the more authentically I can capture your family. I will guide you through the session and take cues from the kids on what's working and what isn't. Our goal is to have fun so we can photograph your family connection in the most genuine way possible.

Be prepared to get
Don't overcomplicate it. I know it's easy to get bogged down in the details but the truth is, none of that matters. The location, the outfits, the time of day are all just fluff on top of the real stuff...you and the people you love ready to sink into some quality time together. So shoot at home or places nearby, wear outfits you already own, and schedule it during the time of day your kids are happiest.
Simple is better
from your session with Alex
what to expect
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!

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!

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.

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!
