We aim for so much more than beautiful images - I want you to feel something when you look at your photos. From the moment of booking until far after our scheduled session, I work to curate a unique experience and create sincere and timeless photos that will be cherished for generations.
From styling, to making prints, I will be there to guide you every step of the way. From elopements to maternity sessions, I aim to provide a tailored photo experience. I understand everyone’s preferences are unique, so please contact me for detailed pricing and customizing options!
Portraits
PORTRAITS
I want to give families and couples the opportunity to HAVE FUN with each other; a small instance in time to forget about the real world and just enjoy being with one another. My upmost goal is to capture unposed and sincere moments of love and connection. I rarely ask everyone to smile at the camera.
These sessions are about capturing your story, from a photo-journalistic point of view, so that after everything, it can feel like you are looking back on memories rather than posed moments.

"Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Alexa is super personable and very talented at her craft. She made sure my boyfriend and I were comfortable and having fun during our shoot. I will cherish all of these photos forever."
- Sommer Gutierrez
ADVENTURE COUPLE's session
"Absolutely cannot recommend Alexa enough! We scheduled photos with my toddler on the windiest day I’ve ever seen. When we met Alexa she greeted us so warmly and her energy is so calm! She got so many different angles combos and took charge but was so open to my ideas too. As my toddler kept getting crankier, she kept readjusting ideas to get pics. She is just the most incredible photographer I’ve worked with!"
- Meryl Suissa
Family photo session on the beach

- Angela Keighley
Surprise proposal photo session
"I could not have asked for a more compassionate or creative photographer for my wedding day. All of my family and friends can not stop raving about our photos; they are truly beautiful."
- Summer Shipley
Beach wedding
"Alexa guided us just enough, but also let us be ourselves and captured us naturally interacting together. She was patient and went above and beyond during the session. I loved the creative and detail shots she got of me with my youngest. I’m so thankful we will have these family pictures to treasure of our 3 kiddos at this age. Book with her!!… you won’t regret it. "
- Lana Leiloglou

"Hired Alexa to take my engagement photos, she did an absolutely amazing job! She made my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was very communicative and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Would definitely hire her again for any future portraits."
- Adriana Carpio
Engagement photo session
"It rained all day, up until the hour before our session, huge overcast and super windy so I just had a feeling that our pictures wouldn’t turn out as good as I was hoping. BUT let me tell you, Alexa went above and beyond and our pictures turned out better than I ever expected, absolutely beautiful. I hope that we can make this a tradition each year!"
- Mary Shue
family photo session
"I just want to give a huge thank you to my wonderful, bubbly, wedding photographer Alexa. I never had pictures really bring me back to the actual day it was taken, each time I look at my wedding photos I truly feel and sense the same emotions of the day itself. I could not be more happy with her work and charisma. She truly made this day more special!"
- Isabel Speciale
Beach wedding
"Alexa worked with us for a family reunion photo session on the beach in South Padre. She was extremely communicative during the booking process and flexible about timing to accommodate the several babies in the group. On the day, she arrived on time with calm energy. We’re very happy with the photos!"

Is there a specific beach area that you tend to use for your photo shoots, or would you be able to come to where we are staying at our condo on the beach?
I was born and raised right across the bridge on the mainland, in a little town called Laguna Vista. After moving to Austin, TX for college, I came back and recently bought a house in the very same neighborhood I grew up in! Having worked and played on the island for most of my life, I certainly know the area as well as my own hometown.

Is there a specific beach area that you tend to use for your photo shoots, or would you be able to come to where we are staying at our condo on the beach?
OF COURSE. While I absolutely love the beach, I also excitedly welcome a change of scenery now and again! I am always so inspired by a new venue or destination. Recent work has taken me into the bustling cities of Texas, atop the tall mountains of Colorado, and into the green & mossy forests of Oregon.

If rain is in the forecast, I have options to reschedule. However, this means you must meet me half-way and keep your schedule flexible as well! If it ends up raining the entire visit, I will refund your retainer.

For portrait sessions, I cull through all of the photos and choose any great images based on variety, clarity, and sincerity. From all of the photos presented in your initial gallery, you will pick your favorite 20 or 40 (depending on your portrait package) and have the option to purchase more photos.
