HEY! I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Alexa, but most people call me Lexi. I’m a coffee addicted 30-something year old wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin. I’m a mama of two sweet little girlies who bring more joy to my life than I could’ve ever imagined. They are my inspiration, my joy, my calm, my crazy. I spend my days home with them — snuggling, singing, reading the same handful of books over and over again. They’re my reminders that life happens in the in-between moments, the little, insignificant moments when my toddler is brushing her little sister’s hair, singing songs a little off-key, pushing her doll in her baby swing… when my baby first notices her hands, coos as she looks at the trees blowing in the wind, smiles sweetly up at me a hundred times a day. Because of them, my world is brighter, I see life these tiny moments a little clearer. I’m forever grabbing for a camera - my phone, point and shoot camera, film, or big camera. It’s no surprise that I am nearing 100k of photos on my phone because I NEVER want to forget a moment. I’ve been known to say ‘you’ll never regret taking a photo, you’ll only regret not taking enough.’ and I truly stand by it!
I thrive when surrounded by tons of people with a camera in hand, drive a little too fast, and use an excessive amount of exclamation points. I’m fascinated by people and their stories (you’ll find me people watching and listening into conversations at coffee shops - shhhh!! I can’t be the only one!!) When hiring a photographer for some of the most exciting moments of your life, it’s important to know what to expect not only from the photos you will be given, but also the experience you will have. I want to capture YOU and your life, your love, and the real, raw moments and emotions. I would be absolutely honored to be a part of your adventure.
I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember.. YES I cringe when looking back at photos I took in middle school. I had a little point and shoot camera in my backpack in high school and I pulled it out almost daily. Pictures at lunch with my friends? You bet. An impromptu class photo in English? Absolutely!!! You could say I’ve always been drawn to sloooowing time down and capturing moments to remember forever. Photography is so incredibly important and our only form of a time machine. By the time I was a junior in high school, I purchased a fancy DSLR and was hired to take senior pictures for eleven (!!!!) of my friends. I’ve learned so much since then and it shows, thank goodness!! It is an absolute honor to capture special moments for those closest to me (as in, I captured the birth of my own nieces, how cool?!), and to make new friends through capturing the best day of their lives. This job is important and I don't take it lightly when I’m chosen to document moments for you.
