CALIFORNIA DESERT FAMILY SESSION | JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK | STREHL FAMILY

August 16, 2017

I’m thrilled to share this recent family session with you! I absolutely ADORE family sessions, especially when pinks, neutrals, and muted tones are involved in the wardrobe color palette, and well, Ashley knows my heart! The Strehl Family is one of the sweetest you will come across. I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Ashley on a few projects and have really enjoyed being involved in photographing her small military spouse owned business, Jane & Cope (you can find her Etsy shop HERE). We chose to photograph their family session in the beautiful desert because its scenery never disappoints and you could probably say they love it here as this is their second tour at 29 Palms Marine Corps Base.

The California Desert is one of my all time favorite places to shoot family sessions, especially the Joshua Tree National Park.

I hope you love the images from this session as much as I have! Enjoy! xo.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT alexis

Rooted in the Lowcountry, where the sea breeze feels like home. You’ll find me on the back porch, soaking in the coastal sounds, in my favorite jeans and tee. A Jersey girl at heart, fueled by Waffle House and country music—especially Kane Brown on repeat.

Born and raised in a small town in New Jersey, I truly believe in the saying, ‘You can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can’t take the Jersey out of the girl.’ At 18, I left the Garden State to join the Marine Corps, and since then, I’ve called a few different places home. Now, I’m a proud mom to three amazing kids and two furry companions who would call me ‘mom’ if they could.

I live for crisp fall days, can never say no to a good bowl of pasta, and—despite my best efforts—I can’t go a week without a refreshing canned Coke. My love for interior design runs deep (even if I wish I were better at it), and in my spare time, I’m always finding new ways to make my little golf cottage feel like home
