"She will climb a mountain beside you, swim through murky waters with you, and truly entrench herself in the experience... stopping at nothing to achieve and surpass this vision for you."

If you are a dreamer, come in

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...

If you're a pretender, come sit by the fire

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

Come in! Come in!

Hi, I'm Alexis!

I'm an ethereal portrait photographer.

I combine the inspiring power of nature with unbound imagination - crafting safe spaces for curiosity, self-expression and emotional catharsis. I can help you see yourself from a new perspective, embracing your inner-strength, beauty, vulnerability and power.

I WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE THAT.

Photography means 'writing with light.' That’s why your favorite photos feel like stories. Epic tales filled with magic, adventure, inspiration and bravery.

And yeah, maybe climbing some rocks, wading through water and getting a little dirty along the way.

As the lover of childhood fantasy with bold heroes and ethereal illustrations, I’ve come to identify with valiant love and unconventional beauty. People who carve their own path. Who fight when the world has told them to give up.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

It's an honor to spend time together in nature on these otherworldly adventures. After all, as Lloyd Alexander once said, “Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It’s a way of understanding it.”

I love a good story.

Now let's tell yours.

"My experience with Alexis was one of the most awakening experiences of my life... I felt so safe trusting her with this moment and I will cherish it forever. Thank you for this gift."

My Story

Growing up in Philadelphia, I'd have to split my favorite memories down the middle. On the one hand, there was the big box of costumes under the basement stairs. I loved dressing up and imagining all the adventures I could go on. My mind was full of fantasy - people and places I could only read about and see in artwork.

The local library must have gotten tired of seeing my face peering over stacks of fairytales with stunning illustrations. In my imagination, that box of costumes transformed me into the heroine of my favorite stories.

Ah, but then there was camping with my dad. When we drove out past the concrete, past the traffic, past the lights and set up our tents in the woods. There was seeing the view from the top of a mountain and walking together at night to see the perfect reflection of a million stars in the lake. Even in hiking boots and covered in mosquito bites, the breathtaking beauty of nature overwhelmed and inspired me.

Real magic.

All these years later, magic still feels real to me. But now I know that we make so much of it ourselves. Those illustrations, the heroes of my stories, they were drawn, painted, created by adults with an imagination.

I used to worry that growing up might mean I had to leave all of that behind. But the books I loved as a kid were written by grownups. And that means that there are people like me - people who have seen their share of the real world. Who live and walk through it every day - sometimes hurting, tired, barely holding on.

For people like me - people like you - the worlds of imagination and nature belong together. It's where we go to heal. To find joy. To believe the impossible.

Thanks for being here. Together, let's see where your next adventure leads you.
