About

I have a B.F.A. for Graphic Design from R.I.T. and a business certification from Harvard.

I do professional photography for the automotive and motorsport industry. But I also do branding and design contract woth with multiple clients such as, Syracuse University, University of Rochester, Xerox, Park Ave Laundromat, etc.

I am a massive gearhead raised by a musclecar enthusiast father. And I took photography in college because it was a great reason to escape from the computer and get outdoors. Once I blended those two passions together it was electrifying and utterly addicting. Cars are a huge part of my life and the people you meet and the stories they have about their cars are truly what make car culture just fantastic. I can never get enough.

    I did a boudoir shoot with her using my husband’s Dodge Challenger as a anniversary present. He was absolutely in love with them and so was I. She was so professional and easy going. Right away I knew my comfort level and my confidence was her top priority.
    Alex was very easy going and encouraged communication if I was uncomfortable or needed anything the whole shoot. On top of that she always explained why she’d position me in certain ways and actually gave some incredible tips for future photo taking I use for my selfies!
    But the best part was how she asked what I thought were my best features and what ones made self conscious. She actually took what I told her and put it to use in her positioning choices and the results were amazing!
    Lastly, the editing!? Omg! In my opinion people tend to either too much or too little. Hers was PERFECT!! She didn’t just blur n smooth over stuff or go so overboard that it didn’t look like me at all she made it look just like I normally look but evened out my skin added vibrance to my hair.
    I thought the before and after comparison was going to be shockingly different and that I’d be mortified but when I saw it. But I was so surprised. She made such small, natural looking, subtle changes that it actually made me feel even better about myself on a whole new level. I felt like a natural beauty and not like a fake that was warped and half painted in photoshop. She respected my appearance and kept it as true to the real me as possible. That to me was HUGE. I highly recommend her for portraits and boudoir!

    She did phenomenal work doing a custom shoot for my car. I got to pick out a few locations, we did a bunch of different style shots. She even offered options like colored smoke bombs, special lighting, and female models for the shoot! And the editing was amazing! Couldn’t be happier!
