I can’t believe today is the big launch & giveaway! Today I’m finalizing the site and making changes to my social profile, including a new bio, profile photo, and name! A Perfect Match Photography doesn’t quite fit my new endeavor, so I am dusting off my old Alix Kramer Photography handle and bringing it back into use. I’m also updating my locations served to better reflect my availability. While I’m based in Chicago, I am in Boston & Memphis to see family often enough that I’ve decided to list those three cities as my main stomping grounds. I also travel a lot, and will happily coordinate shoots in other cities around my travel schedule. I can’t wait for the launch later today and to start booking sessions!

08/09/2022

The giveaway and website launch is today and I am *this* excited!
Later today I’ll be launching my new family photography website, and kicking it off with a giveaway! If you have little loved ones (or know someone who does) and want gloriously real photos of your gloriously real kids, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the giveaway announcement 👀

I love when I go to friend’s houses and I get to see their childhood photos on the walls. There are always inevitably a set of photos taken in a white-walled photo studio where the kids are wearing clothes that they’d never pick out for themselves, doing unnatural poses and forcing smiles. It makes me sad to think that these photos are the only glimpse I have into my friends’ childhoods, and they don’t even look like the joyful, energetic kids I’m sure they were!
That’s why I am approaching family photography with a unique mission. When we look back on photos of our kids, we want to remember them as they were, not as a strange photographer decided they should be. I approach family photography with a photojournalism background, capturing shining, messy, beautiful, joyous children as they really are in that stage of their lives. Unlike other family photographers, I meet clients in a familiar place where their kids are 100% at home and comfortable, and I spend the “shoot” following them as they laugh together, play together, make messes together, and clean together, resulting in gloriously real photos of gloriously real kids. No more stuffy photos. These are real photos of cherished moments with cherished loved ones.

There have been a lot of changes in my life as the photographer behind A Perfect Match Photography. I finished graduate school and started working full-time as a therapist, specializing in working with young people with chronic illness. I LOVE my new job! And I love working with kids. With all the changes in my life, I decided to really appraise my photography business and decide if it was still serving me and my passions. During the process, I spent a lot of time with my niece and nephew, taking photos of them during their daily life which were ultimately perfect little snapshots of their true personalities, quirks, excitement and boredom. I also realized that my favorite moments at weddings to photograph were the gloriously real moments involving the kid attendees.
I have made the decision to step away from wedding photography, and move into family photography, specializing in photojournalistic-style, candid photos of kids. I am approaching family photography with a unique mission and process, which I am so excited to share with you tomorrow.
In the next week I’ll be sharing more about my mission and updating my brand to fit my new photography population. And on Tuesday I’ll be launching my brand new website and hosting a kickoff giveaway!

When the bride is a modern-day oil painting, it’s easy to create timeless moments 🎨

11/14/2021

Ally + Joe’s wedding one week ago was the most beautiful testimony to love withstanding all obstacles. This spectacularly sweet moment was just after the ceremony, when the couple had their first chance to be together in a quiet moment as husband and wife 🧡
Thanks to the amazing vendor team, I can’t wait to share more photos of your incredible work!

This might be my favorite EVER wedding photo - at ’s outdoor reception area there is a renovated garage space full of amazing vintage finds. It was the perfect place to set up this romantic oil-painting moment and help capture the ethereal beauty of the day 😍

My favorite part of a wedding is always the couples portraits, and I also love taking gorgeous stand-alone shots of each newlywed! It’s a great way to let each person have a shining moment and to capture every thoughtful clothing decision from the bow tie to the earrings. Swipe to see more of the gorgeous bride and handsome groom ➡️

I can’t forget my favorite color photos too 😍 These two were such a breeze to photograph, with their love radiating in each photo

Two more black & white favorites from and Chris’s Lake Michigan shoot. The stars aligned with lighting and haze and gave us this gorgeous muted skyline in the background 🏙

09/21/2021

Last weekend I got to photograph my dear friend for her engagement 🧡 Black & white photos usually only make up a small percentage of my delivered galleries, but they also tend to be my favorites of each shoot 🤩 Keep your eyes peeled because while this account is briefly out from hibernation there will be many more gorgeous b&w (and color!) photos featured 🥰

09/08/2020

I hope you’re entering this new month & season with someone you love by your side 🥰

08/25/2020

There are so many extra wonderful moments when your couple is your dear friends. Christian had gone through the ringer of me making him pose with Carrie as we explored Germany together enough times that I did absolutely no prompting to get this shot. After I took some solo photos of Carrie I called Christian over and his intense training (thank you, me) kicked in and he lifted Carrie high into the air to the surprise and delight of us all.

There is literally nothing as blissful as being back in my favorite place for the summer 🌊

If loving an inordinate amount of negative space in my establishing ceremony shots is wrong, then I have no interest in being right!! And that's all I have to say about that. @ The Villa at Ridder Country Club

08/12/2020

Ooh yes. I love a good getting ready portrait almost as much as I love this face!! Sending extra love to Kristen + Ayellor and their beautiful baby boy today, just because.

One thing I'm so extra excited about for this coming move to Chicago is being able to connect with the thriving Jewish community there. In France this past year I wasn't able to even find other Jewish people to interact with, which was honestly the hardest part of the year for me. I'm looking forward to combatting the many Chicago cold weekends with warm challah and new friends.🧡

08/01/2020

An old favorite that deserves new attention from my first wedding all the way back in 2017. There will always be a very special place in my heart for these two gorgeous grooms who took a chance on me in the beginning of it all.

There is something so wonderful and conspiratorial about that first look shared after saying "I do," like you've just been let in on a secret that only the two of you know and you'll spend the rest of your life cherishing.
