"To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Ernst Haas
1921 – 1986
About Me
My passion for the the visual arts began early in life. I loved to draw, read, paint and play music. Photography was a natural progression and when I was given the gift of my first SLR 35mm film camera, I was hooked. I played around with it for many years but when i realized that memories were always captured in photographs I knew this was a media I needed to persue further. When my own children were born i wanted to remember every funny, beautiful moment and so I began photographing my children. Fast forward 10 years later I now have the priviledge of photographing other families. My purpose is to find those beautiful moments between mother and child or newly married husband and wife. I strive to capture the moment that will last a life time.

TESTIMONIALS
MELANIE & SHANE
"While I certainly wasn't a reluctant bride, I was certainly a bride reluctant about having her photo taken. I generally don't enjoy posing as the cameras subject or seeing the end results for that matter. Fortunately, I knew my wonderful friend Alex would be the perfect photographer to capture our wedding, including an image of the blushing bride I would actually want to frame. Our garden party wedding was a fun, but rather damp afternoon, yet Alex took it all in stride with humour. I was completely comfortable with her easy directions and thoughtful ideas as we played in the rain. Thank you Alex! For being friendly, kind and compassionate.You converted this lens weary client and friend."

" We were fortunate enough to have Alex as our photographer for our wedding in July 2013. Alex did an outstanding job! She is highly experienced, incredibly creative, and has an eye for detail. All of our guests felt extremely comfortable with her, as she is very amiable and professional. The photo session for the wedding party was an enjoyable experience for everyone. Alex involved all of us and inspired us with her energy and enthusiasm. When we received our photos, we were amazed how Alex was able to capture the emotion in such an artistic way. Her photographs are genuinely moving and we are absolutely thrilled with them! I highly recommend her because we know she will impress you too!"
