There is extraordinary in the every day.
Because locking eyes with the love of your life, having your toddler run & leap into your open arms, or building your business...
These are the things you used to dream about. And these moments deserve to be cherished, celebrated, and documented.
They really do grow up so fast.
Their tiny toes in the sand. How the wind flutters through their soft curls. Their fun & unpredictable personalities. These sessions are about celebrating your family story in this moment in time, so that after everything, it can feel like you are looking back on happy memories. Take this as an opportunity to forget about the real world for a little bit and just savor being with one another.
and I always feel grateful for getting to witness such a beautiful occasion. trust that I am there capturing every meaningful moment while you focus on each other and enjoy your day.
True love exists.
I'M ALEXA RAY
Alexa Ocean Ray is my full name; to bring clarification to the letters of my business name. This name gains its relevance when you learn that I was born and raised on the coast by two parents who fished avidly and professionally.
I owe my creative and independent spirit to them, no doubt. Almost nothing feels more valuable to me than the albums of old photos passed down from my parents. Though some may be faded, these printed photos teleport me into another time and help me cherish the memories like I was there. Now, all I want to do is share this magic of photography with others.
Featured Work
Creatiing memories with
experience-led portraiture
Experience-led sessions are designed to feel more like a fun hangout than a formal photoshoot. We’ll build your session around something you enjoy doing together — looking for seashells, splashing in the pool, eating pizza, surfing — whatever feels fun to you!
The best photos happen when you’re busy having fun. The giggles, the inside jokes, the twirls, the bear hugs — that’s the good stuff. That’s what we capture.
Perfect for families with energetic kids and adventurous couples who’d rather move than pose!
