What I'm All About
Real life moments
Hello! I’m Alexa. I live in Oak Ridge, North Carolina with five of my favorite boys - my husband of ten years, Jonathan, our little ones, Noah, Samuel, Benjamin, Anna, and Jonathan David, and our sweet old dog, Luke. On any given day you might find us snuggling on the couch, having a dance party, in the middle of a friendly wrestling match (normally I just watch and laugh), or on Fridays at our favorite coffee shop, the farmer's market, or the city park for our weekly Sabbath.
Although Jonathan doesn't shoot with me, he has always been supportive of this business, lovingly cheering me on, and helpful when I ask for input. So I still consider us a husband-wife team.
Family, intentionality, and making rhythms of rest are some of the most important things to us and when you choose me to photograph your life, you become an extension of this family. So I thought you should get to know us a little better...
More little facts about Alexa...
We've been married for fourteen years...
Best years of my life! Being married has taught both Jonathan and I SO much about giving up our selfishness and living for something bigger than ourselves! We believe marriage paints a picture of the gospel and the way that our Savior, Jesus, loves and cares for us. This commitment is so important and that's why I love photographing such a special time in life.
I eat cereal pretty much every night before bed...
My friends and family know that it's a safe bet that I'm up eating cereal at 10:00pm. I have since I was a kid! And no, I don't have a specific cereal preference. Sometimes it's healthy and sometimes it has marshmallows or food coloring. I don't discriminate!
I love to cook and bake...
It's so relaxing and fun for me! I love trying new recipes for meals and my made-from-scratch cinnamon rolls are just about famous around here.
I'm from a very big family...
We're all still very close and because of the way I grew up, I place a very high value on relationships. I love to capture the little details of these intimate relationships and often notice interactions that others might not see!

I cannot say enough great things about Alexa! From the moment I met with her, I knew I wanted her to capture our wedding day!! I fell in love with her images first & her personality second! She is SO sweet, very genuine & was such a calming person to have around me on our wedding day! She captured our engagement & our wedding so beautifully. After we received our photos we were blown away with how well she captured our day & the way she captured moments that we didn't even know were happening. She did SUCH a great job making sure that the big & small moments were captured and we will forever be grateful for her (and her photo skills!) We got a lot of compliments from family & friends on how professional and unobtrusive she was throughout the day! We will 100% be using her for future shoots!

I can not speak highly enough of Alexa! She's not only the sweetest, most calm and unobtrusive photographer (great to have on a somewhat stressful day), she's SO professional, SO darn good at her craft and AMAZING!!!! She captured every candid moment of the day, created beautiful set-up's when needed, got group pictures of people that were already forming to take group selfies (so smart!), took advantage of a sun shower and a double rainbow!!!! Also, we had the pleasure of working with her to do our engagement photos and they exceeded our expectations just as the wedding photos did too!!! Alexa is a true professional and expert: responsive, knowledgeable, prepared and takes advantage of every beautiful shot!
