Hi! I’m Alex.
Even before I got a “big, fancy camera”, I’ve had a love for photography. Looking through my phone, you’d see tens of thousands of photos and videos that I had snapped at big milestone moments and during everyday life.
I love looking at photos and reliving all of the joy that was present at that exact moment. Often when I’m editing images after a session I’ll find myself smiling as I remember exactly what everyone was doing or saying as the picture was captured.
When I’m not actively taking or editing photos (a big hobby of mine), I juggle a career as a biomedical engineer and a side-business as a math tutor. There’s a lot going on, but I’m always just a message away!

My photography sessions are primarily conducted in a lifestyle format, which goes beyond traditional posed shots where everyone is directed to smile at the camera. I strive to create a relaxed environment where individuals feel comfortable enough to let their guards down and allow their genuine personalities to shine through. While I do capture a few classic portraits, my primary focus is on recording authentic interactions and the natural rapport among family members.

My objective is to transform these moments into images that not only evoke memories but also seamlessly integrate into any setting—be it a cherished photo album, as a vibrant wallpaper on your phone, or as an artful display above your fireplace. Each photo is meticulously edited by me to ensure they are lively, colorful, and capture the true spirit of your family.

In my editing process, I use Photoshop sparingly, focusing primarily on removing elements that might distract from the natural beauty of the moment, such as an out-of-place branch or an unintended hand in the frame. It's important to me that the integrity and authenticity of the moment are preserved. I do not use Photoshop to alter the appearance of individuals in my photos because I believe everyone is beautiful just as they are. My goal is to capture and reflect this natural beauty, ensuring that the true essence of each person and moment shines through in every image.

I currently specialize in natural outdoor photography and sessions conducted within the comfort and familiarity of clients' homes, rather than offering studio photography. This approach allows me to capture the spontaneous, genuine interactions in environments that are meaningful and relaxed for my clients. Whether we're exploring the lush beauty of a local park or nestled in the cozy corners of your living room, my focus is on creating images that feel natural and authentic, highlighting the real settings and backdrops of your everyday life.
