I had the absolute pleasure of photographing an event for and today 📷

It was a beautiful gathering of the community for an amazing film, conversation, crafts and an overall beautiful exchange of energy 💗

I was definitely inspired by and his incredible story and gift with words 🙌🏽

Thanks so much to for inviting me to document this event and for capturing this awesome behind the scenes pic 😄🫶🏽

I’m excited to share more pictures 🥰

It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a blog, but recently I felt led to create one. With the current state of our country, I feel we are meant to return to simpler times 😄

Social media is unpredictable and doesn’t belong to us. However, our websites, blogs and email newsletters do!

This first blog is about using branding photographs for maximum impact. Branding images can be used for social media marketing, to update your website, help promote a launch, product or service, email newsletters and anything else you can think of 😄

I also share some local businesses and how they’ve used some of the images I’ve taken of them 📷

It’s so nice to have a collection of images to pull from at anytime.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or questions about branding photography!

What should I blog about next? 🧐

I’m so grateful for my clients (and friends) who come back year after year 🥹

I’ve had the honor of photographing this beautiful family 3 years in a row, when Zacchaeus was a few months young, then 1 and now 2 🎉

Every year passes by so quickly and it ’s so much fun to watch how the little ones evolve over the years 🫶🏽

Can’t wait to edit the pics and share them! This family also has a collection of albums and prints from each session 😍 they will have these heirlooms to look back on for many, many years to come 🙌🏽

Are you capturing the sweet, fleeting moments with your family?

I haven’t been very active on this account 😕 I’ve been really diving into other art mediums and sharing consistently on my personal account .janell instead 🎨🖌️

But I do want to give this page some more love because I plan on continuing to take photos! I’ve actually been working my business plan through a workshop I’m attending 🎉

I haven’t done a ton of photo shoots over the past few months. We’re just getting out of the rainy season here in Washington state and I’ve had folks start to reach out for pictures 🥰

I’ve been enjoying taking pictures of nature, which is something I’ve loved from day 1 🌸 nature is life and definitely fuels my soul 🙌🏽

I do have a very special, intimate event I’ll be photographing today 🥹

More to come!

May this year’s eclipse bring peace upon this earth 🌍
May love permeate into everyone’s hearts ❤️
May our planet be protected and safe.
May all beings be at peace ☮️
Sending love to you all 💗

Happy Solar Eclipse!

This photo was from 2017. It’s cloudy here in Washington so I spent this eclipse meditating for world peace. How are you harnessing this energy today?

I’m so thankful for these behind the scenes shots the mother of the groom captured on Saturday 🥰

It’s really cool to see this perspective 📷

I tend to shy away from big events and weddings, but every now and then something special and intimate comes along like this wedding🎉

I probably would’ve never experienced this view, had I not been invited to photograph it🏔️

7/15/2023 was a day I’ll always remember 🥰

Grateful to this lovely couple for choosing me to be a part of this once in a lifetime experience, a breathtaking celebration of their love 💗🥂

Love your Self enough
to make your dreams
a reality!

What is it that calls you in your soul?
That burning desire that might feel so close, or maybe so far 🔥

Whatever it is that you hear,
and have maybe heard since you were a child..
that calling is not a mistake.
It is leading you to your purpose
in life💖

Whether you feel you’re headed towards it,
or it seems out of reach..
Love your Self enough to
at least take baby steps toward your calling.

You deserve that and the world will benefit as well 💫💗

Happy Valentine’s Day loves 🥰

❤️

Hello there 👋🏽 My name is Alexa, for those of you who don't know me. Yes, like Amazon but it was my name first!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, for anyone who might might be new to this page☺️

I am a from Brooklyn, NY. before gentrification, transplanted in the beautiful PNW🏔

I am a wife to my wonderful husband for 7 years now 🥳

I am a mom to a beautiful two year old boy who always keeps me on my toes 💓

I am a passionate vegan and a huge advocate for meditation and self awareness.

I believe we each have so much more power than we're aware of, by choosing to live a conscious and compassionate life.

And last, but not least! I am a lifestyle and branding photographer 📷

I love social media marketing and capturing authentic moments, whether that be family memories or an expression of the personality behind a small business 🥰

If you're interested in scheduling a session or just want to say hi, please feel free to reach out!!

I'm so grateful for .ashley for capturing these amazing images 😍

I've recently dove into the world of product photography and I am loving it 🙌🏽

Having beautiful images to share online is crucial these days!

It shows professionalism and literally shows products in their best light 😁 Not to mention, having beautiful images to create content with!

This curl defining cream was one I purchased at the and it is fantastic!!

After washing my hair, I just scrunch some of this delicious smelling cream into my hair and let it air dry 🌬
I've even been using it on my son and his curls have been extra bouncy!

The last photo shows the actual setup for these photographs 😂I was just practicing 😁

That moment during a session when the little one wants to take off mama's hat and we let it roll 😍

I love lifestyle photography because it allows me to capture real moments.

We could've easily said "no baby, leave mama's hat alone". But instead, we let him do his thing and created this beautiful, authentic memory!

The photographs are just as fun and adorable as this gif is🥰

I'm so excited for this mama to have a beautiful album, full of timeless memories created on this day!

An album that she can
1. Cherish forever!
2. Take out to look at as her baby grows and she misses the days of carrying him💓
3. Can pass on to him when he grows and has children of his own😭

I'm not crying 🥹

Do you have any special heirlooms from your childhood?

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year, especially for family photos like these!! Check out my latest blog to get a peek into this beautiful family's fall session!

There's still a little time to squeeze in a session before all of the leaves are gone!

Not only is this beautiful park full of enormous ancient trees, but it held a special place in this family's hearts. Growing up in Tacoma, Wright Park was a childhood favorite for these mamas. Coming here to create memories with their beautiful family was a no brainer.

Photographs are truly a treasure! This is a photo of my grandpa Ray.

My mom asked if I could restore it as the original was pretty worn from so many years of life.

Photos like this are something we pass down for years and years. They’re a way to relive history through the perception of our ancestors.

While digitals are cool for in the moment sharing, the odds of digging through old hard drives or jump drives is slim.

However, digging through a box of old photos is like digging through a box of treasures🥰

Do you have old photos you treasure??
