My name is Alixandra,

but most call me Alix or Al.

I have a passion for life, happiness, love and human connection. I’m a half full kinda gal and wouldn’t have it any other way.

I would describe my photography as being bold, authentic, and full of emotion.

I grew up with my mom and younger brother in the metro Detroit area. I’m easygoing, bossy in the best way and caring by nature. As a young kid, I knew I wanted to do something that was fun, creative and beneficial to others. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would land me as a Photographer and Business Owner. This career path was truly a dream come true and I just love getting to meet amazing people along the way! When asked who my biggest inspiration is, I can say hands down, my mom. She is seriously my rock and I could go on and on with how she has shown me what true strength is and the meaning of resilience, but I’ll spare you all the mushy heartfelt emotions. For now. 

I have a strong work ethic, putting myself through college while working multiple jobs. I truly believe that the amount of effort you put in is directly related to the results you achieve, with any and everything you do in life. One of the jobs that helped me along the way was working in the mental health field. I worked with intellectually disabled adults for 10 years. Working in that field really taught me patience, understanding and what unconditional love really means. In 2018, I took a leap of faith and quit my 9-5 job to focus on my passion for creating and documenting others’ stories in an authentic and timeless way. 

While I put my heart and soul into my work, I also strive to maintain a healthy work life balance. You’ll catch me traveling, hiking some of the most beautiful national parks or enjoying some of the coolest restaurants around town. 

It means the world to me that you are here and I look forward to talking with you soon.  

Until then,

Alix, XO
