RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS
It’s always a pleasure to photograph other photographers, so I was thrilled when Katrina asked me to capture her third pregnancy in sunny San Diego, California! Katrina is not only a talented photographer but a stylist with a killer wardrobe! This stunning, yet simple, pink gown suited her so well. Hamilton Oaks Winery in San […]
There is something so serene about a simple beauty session in the California desert. A plain silk slip, robe and stunning dress from Katrina’s wardrobe complimented the feel of this intimate and ethereal shoot. The setting was simple and subtle which allowed the focus to remain on the ever so stunning, Olivia. Beauty portraits are […]
Have you ever dreamed of running away to marry the love of your life in the Southern California sun? I have good news for you! YOU CAN, and you can do it with the most amazing team of vendors.
I’ve collaborated with an amazing team of vendors to give away a Romantic Desert Elopement for one lucky couple dreaming of running away to Joshua Tree! The winners will elope on November 12th, 2017 in Pioneertown, CA.
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 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.
BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT alexis
Photographer, chaos coordinator, and professional chapstick hoarder.
I’m the person behind the camera. A storyteller at heart, often holding a snack, always paying attention. I’m drawn to the moments in between the big ones. The glances that say everything, the wind in your hair, the hugs that linger when no one else is watching. That’s the good stuff. That’s what I love to photograph.
I’m rooted in the Lowcountry, where the sea breeze feels like home and front porches invite you to slow down. Most days look a little lived in around here. Worn-in jeans, a favorite tee, coffee in hand, and a bit of chaos close by. I’m a Jersey girl at heart with a soft spot for Waffle House, country music, and Kane Brown on repeat more often than I’d like to admit.
I’m also a mom to three wildly wonderful humans and two fur babies, which means life is full and the vacuum is always out. I gravitate toward neutrals and mixed metals, though pink will always have my heart. I love a good gym fit for the comfort alone, chapstick is never far, and there’s usually a song stuck in my head for days at a time.
And the serious things matter, too. I’m a proud Marine Corps veteran, a pasta enthusiast, loyal to canned Coke, a bulldog snuggler, textbook Libra, frequent visitor of the skincare aisle, and a self-proclaimed interior-decorating dabbler.
