Photoshoot Reviews
"When I was gifted a photoshoot with Alex for my 21st birthday I was so excited!! If you’re wanting to enjoy a photoshoot & not feel uncomfortable, then Alex definitely knows how to make sure that you truly enjoy the whole experience. Alex has a gift & she captured the love I feel for my horses perfectly!!" - Amy
"We had the most wonderful experience with Alex during our recent family photo shoot. From the start, Alex made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable, which really shows in the beautiful photos she captured of me and my folks. What meant the most to me was how incredibly patient and accommodating she was with my little dachshund, Ginny. Ginny is a rescue, and Alex was so respectful of her space and gentle with her, which made the whole experience stress-free for both of us. Alex managed to capture the most stunning moments of us surrounded by the cosmos. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, and wonderful with both people and pets, I couldn’t recommend Alex more highly. We’ll treasure these photos for years to come." - Roxy
"The word that comes to mind when I think of Alex is remarkable!!! I absolutely love working with Alex and couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

She captures each moment so perfectly, whether it is a quiet moment between a mare and foal, a youngster playing around in the paddock or a special moment between human a horse. She is super talented, professional and listens to what you want. But more important than her great work is who she is as a person and that’s the most important thing of all!" - Megan
"People say that a picture speaks a thousand words, but the right picture tells a story that speaks to your heart.

"I had my very first photoshoot with Alex in 2020, and I have never looked back. From the very beginning, I knew I had found something rare. Her eye for the perfect shot, the way she works with light, chooses the most breathtaking backgrounds, and times everything so effortlessly, is something I have honestly never seen before. But what truly sets her apart is her ability to capture feeling. She doesn’t just take photos; she captures the raw bond, the quiet understanding, and the deep love between horse and rider in a way that feels almost sacred. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels alive. Looking back at the moments she’s captured of me and my horses, I don’t just see beautiful pictures, I see memories, connection, and pieces of my heart frozen in time. Alex has an extraordinary gift, and I will forever be grateful that she has documented some of the most precious chapters of my journey." - Chaney

"I have never taken the opportunity to have my horses professionally photographed before and when I decided to seize the opportunity to do so I had a distinct idea in mind, I wanted to capture the true love I have for my horses that cannot be expressed in words. I didn't have to explain in depth what I was hoping to achieve, Alex just took my hopes to capture that feeling and flew with it. The results where everything I hoped for and more. And despite my nerves to stand in front of the camera, Alex made the whole experience an absolute breeze. I am truly stunned and grateful!” - Jordyne
