about alex


Hi! I'm Alex. I make photographs on film. You can see my commercial portfolio right here. I shoot brand photography for women-owned businesses and workshops. I also photograph lots of families. (I used to shoot weddings.) I've been in business since 2011.

I'm a serial sharer and a bit of a know-it-all, so I started writing a just-for-fun newsletter called Handpicked with links to things I think are especially interesting, inspiring, and/or uplifting. It goes out every Wednesday. People love it! You can subscribe here.

Sometimes I talk about my faith. Sometimes I talk about motherhood. This blog is a place where share the photos I make, and it's also where I store little pieces of myself. 

Two fun facts about me: I'm great at french braiding and I'm terrible at hanging picture frames.

I live in Manhattan Beach, CA with my husband Nate and my four small kids. 

If you'd like to hire me to shoot with you, send me an email. 

PS: From time to time, I use affiliate links on this blog, which means I earn a small commission from things you may buy (no cost to you). Thanks for your support!
