BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT alexis
Photographer, chaos coordinator, and professional chapstick hoarder.
I’m the gal behind the camera—part storyteller, part snack holder, part hype girl. I live for the quiet moments in between the big ones: the squeeze-your-hand glances, the wind-blown hair, the teary hugs no one else sees. That’s the good stuff. That’s what I love to photograph.
Rooted in the Lowcountry, where the sea breeze feels like home and the porch is my happy place. Most days, you’ll find me soaking in the salty air in my favorite worn-in jeans and a tee, coffee in hand and chaos nearby. I’m a Jersey girl at heart with a soft spot for Waffle House, country music vibes, and Kane Brown on repeat (like, embarrassingly often).
I’m also a mom to three wild and wonderful humans and two fur babies—which means I’m never bored and I’m always vacuuming. Neutrals and mixed metals are my jam, but pink is my forever favorite. I live for a good gym fit, but it’s mostly for the comfort (zero reps were harmed in the wearing of these leggings). You’ll never catch me without chapstick nearby, and chances are I’m humming some TikTok song that’s been stuck in my head for a week straight.
Oh, and the serious stuff? I’m a proud Marine Corps veteran, pasta enthusiast, canned Coke loyalist, bulldog snuggler, textbook Libra, skincare aisle regular, and self-proclaimed interior-decorating dabbler.
MY kids
They’re the heart of why I do what I do. They keep me inspired, motivated, and remind me why I started this journey in the first place. And, let’s be honest, they’re also my go-to models when I need to practice my craft. Sure, I may have to bribe them with snacks or a well-timed promise of no awkward poses—but hey, it works every time!
MY ENGLISH BULLDOG
Buster, my sweet English bulldog rescue, had a knack for getting what he wanted—even if it meant growling at me when I told him no or get off the couch. He was there for me through thick and thin, always offering love and loyalty. After a long day, he’d greet me with a wagging tail and sneak into bed for warmth (even though he wasn’t supposed to). But don’t tell him that—he knew he was my favorite.
my frenchie
Bodhi is our blue brindle Frenchie with a love for treats, chew bones, and making friends—whether they're human or fur. He’s a professional couch patroller, often found lounging on top of you or claiming the top cushions as his own. Any sprinkle of water on him sends him into full-on zoomie mode, and honestly, it’s the cutest thing ever. He’s the best bud and keeps our days filled with energy and love.
coke in a can
It's quite unhealthy but I really can't live without canned coke. I've at least switched to smaller cans if I have them in the house but I try not to keep them easily accessible. I will usually make a gas station pit stop for a regular sized one before a wedding day!
natural, honest and full of heart
images that feel like you
This job? It’s personal. Photography started as a way for me to hold onto memories, and now it’s how I help others keep theirs. I know how fast life moves, and I believe your photos should let you feel every bit of it all over again. I’m not here to make your day feel like a photo shoot—I’m here to document it with intention, heart, and a little humor along the way.
Whether we’re wandering downtown Charleston at golden hour, chasing light through Spanish moss in Beaufort, or celebrating your wedding on the coast of Hilton Head—I’ll be the calm in the chaos, the extra set of hands, and your biggest fan behind the lens.

who are you?
You’re someone who finds magic in the little things—the quiet glances, the hand squeezes, the way the light hits just right when no one’s looking. You believe in heirlooms, in hugs that linger, in candid over perfect. You’ve got a soft spot for dogs (bulldogs especially—same), and a heart that beats hardest for your people.
You’re probably drawn to the natural, the timeless, the sentimental. You're not into stiff poses or overdone edits—you want the real stuff. The stuff that feels. You’re a lover of love, a treasurer of tiny moments, and someone who knows that life’s most beautiful memories are often the ones in between.
Heart-first, memory-chasers, lovers of the little things
