hello!
I'm Alexis and I'm so glad to meet you!
what am I passionate about?
I was a social work major and I'm a bit of a psychology nerd. I love people, and learning their stories and their struggles. I'm deeply committed to seeing, understanding, and caring about people, helping wherever I can, and learning from everyone I meet.
who is most important to me?
Like you, I live for my family. My amazing husband and boys are everything to me, and I’m also really close to my mom, who lives with my family. I can’t forget to mention that my family also includes 4 dogs and a confrontational cat that I love.
what's with the old camera?
You may have noticed this old camera on my social media and website. It belonged to my grandpa when he was a young wedding photographer. He is now 91 and still tinkers in Photoshop every day! I treasure his influence and the memories of him teaching me photography basics as a teenager.
what makes me laugh?
My social feeds are full of memes and reels that satirize the joy and struggles of parenting (teenagers!) and funny, derpy animals. I love ALL the animals and often have to restrain myself from getting "just one more!" I'm also a Bob's Burgers superfan - I just love the relatable humor and brilliant storytelling of the series!
who do i embarrass daily?
My two boys are now teenagers (17 and 13) and have become terribly embarrassed about my very existence - especially when I snort-laugh, or, gasp!, speak to their peers. Parenting these two has simultaneously been the most joyful and challenging experience of my life, and I'm grateful and lucky to be their mom.
why do I love photography?
My photos thrive on powerful perspectives and evoking emotion, a passion that might just stem from my love for psychology. My clients are real people with real dreams and challenges. I love the opportunity they give me to get to know them and help them build their small businesses and reach their goals!
