What if 18 years go by faster than you think? Days turn to weeks, which then turn to years. With each sweet new life you bring into the world, time becomes more precious. Your heart expands again and again with so much achingly beautiful love, you wish you could bottle it up.
Hi, I'm Alexis! I am also a wife and a mom. I am a visual artist, who has devoted my career to serving parents just like you. I capture moments of love, joy, and life, so you will remember both what it looks and feels like to hold your loved ones.
When you spend just two hours with me, in front of my camera, I give you a gallery full of artful, timeless, romantic images of your family's naturally unfolding moments. We'll have a family adventure in the park, in the city, or at home and I will hand this time back to you, well captured and well preserved. You will hold your family's visual story in your hands to share and cherish for years to come.

THE EXPERIENCE –
- Anne and Zack
Alexis is a phenomenal photographer! We first worked with her back in 2017 in New York for our wedding. She walked us through every single pose, taking background, light, and body position into account with every shot. The pictures we got back are still one of the highlights from the day. Once we learned that she was also moving to the DMV area, we have since worked with her every year for our newborn and family photos! As usual, she was amazing! She was wonderful and patient with our kids, gave tips on how to have a successful experience with a newborn and toddlers, and blew us away with the most beautiful family photos. We will continue to use Alexis every time we want new family pictures and refuse to see anyone else. We highly recommend her!

Alexis is an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured my family beautifully and got the shots exactly as I had envisioned them. I truly appreciated her helping me coordinate our looks and picking the perfect location to match. Her direction was easy to follow and I loved that she made sure to adjust our hair or outfits when they were out of place. I felt relaxed and comfortable during our session and walked away, knowing we took great photos! Lastly, I was amazed to see how quickly she was able to edit and turn our gallery over to us! I am already planning our next family photo session! Thank you again, Alexis!

We had the pleasure of working with Alexis and having her photograph our family. Our kids were 6, 4, 3, and one week old at the time of the photo shoot. She was recommended to me by a good friend and it was one of the best recommendations I’ve ever received when looking to hire someone. I was worried it would be hard to keep the kids engaged but Alexis did great! I loved how patient she was with my kids and the photos came out perfect!

She is really great at helping us pose in a way that looks and feels natural. I tend to feel awkward taking pictures, but she always makes me feel at ease and the photos she captures shock me every time. I cannot believe it’s me in the photo - really! It’s like viewing someone on Pinterest, but it’s me! It’s us! I have now worked with Alexis on a number of occasions and she will take beautiful pictures of my kids even if they are falling apart.

Alexis took maternity and newborn photos for our family, and it was a wonderful experience! She was a delight to work with and was flexible on scheduling and where to meet us. She made me feel very comfortable during a time that can be very uncomfortable! The pictures turned out beautifully! We love that she was able to provide so many photos and was willing to further touch up some of our favorites.
