How Did We Get Here?

Hi! I'm Alix! I'm so glad you found me. 

I began my photo career with my own headshot business at age 17, then I studied journalism & photojournalism at college before moving to NYC to embark on the journey of being a full time photographer! I lived and worked in NYC for 3 years, a school photographer (pre-K through senior year) during the week, and a wedding photographer during the weekends. I loved taking school photos, especially because the small company I worked with had a very unique approach where we spent real time with each kid and got genuine smiles, and funny faces, from them. I also loved photographing weddings (and still do it from time to time!). But I quickly realized that my favorite weddings to photograph were ones with kids present, and when I was supposed to be photographing the couple getting ready to walk down the aisle… I’d be on the other side of the hallway, capturing flower girls smelling their bouquets. And when I was supposed to be capturing the mom of the bride giving a toast… I’d be at the back of the crowd, shooting away as a tiny guest looked over the balcony.

Now, after a COVID-era crisis which lead to grad school, I work as a full-time therapist with kids, teens and young adults with chronic illness. I love that I get to work with kids every day and that I get to help people as my profession. My love for photography still burns on, and I decided in 2022 to put an official slow down on my 6-year-old wedding photography business and focus on photographing what I truly love: kids and families!
