& Portrait photographer
"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.

Let me capture your special moment!

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!"
BRITTANY & RYAN
Finding the perfect photographer is much like finding your soulmate, when you know, you just know! From the first time Alex photographed me, I told her… “You have to do my wedding” and almost 9 years later and a completely different man… that is exactly what she did. I was a bride that was getting married provinces away from my home town, a bride with a very diverse and blended family, and of course a bride that was most definitely not the easiest one to please. I can honestly say that the only person I had full confidence leading up to that day, was Alex. She was more than just the person there taking pictures. She was an anxiety killer, a calm voice of reason, a laugh when on the brink of a mental break down, and most importantly a friend I could rely on. My wedding day would not have been the same without her and the pictures almost came as a bonus at the end of it all. Alex captured everything that was important to me and not only made me look like a million bucks, but feel that way too. Alex’s work is more than a hobby or a job, she is soulful artist, full of genius talent, originality, and perfection. Much as I scheduled Alex for my wedding, I have already booked her for my pregnancy shoot, newborn photos, vow renewals, and all family sessions until the day she retires! Look no further, Alex is the one.
