I’m glad you’re here.
This is me; a portrait + wedding photographer based in Upstate New York who is most definitely going to cry happy tears with you on your wedding day.
hey guys,
it’s alexis but you can call me lex or lexi! my mom calls me lulu and that would be fine too! I grew up in Syracuse, New York alongside my very loving family, who raised me to flourish through human connections. I’m lucky enough to know what authentic love looks + feels like because of my remarkable parents, chris and patty. I lived a very imaginative and fulfilling childhood, tucked in between my younger and older sisters, Lauren and Jordan. Being the ‘middle child’ was always a fun battle that taught me, when you're the middle child, you either have to dive into the deep end or sit in the background. So inevitably, i decided to get drenched.
I enrolled in college at the University at Buffalo in 2013 and within 4 years I earned a Bachelor in Exercise Science- an undergrad degree set to put me on track to earn a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. But, something was brewing inside me- I had so many ideas inside of my head. and even still to this day, I am constantly finding myself wandering around in the clouds. but these ideas, heavily flooded by emotional visualizations, strongly urged my desire to see what I was seeing, forever. and that’s when I introduced myself to photography.
I began taking photos in 2015 and all I can really tell you is that it’s just one of those things that makes you feel more yourself than you’ve ever felt before. and perhaps that was the first time i had ever really experienced that. regardless, all i’ve ever known ever since then, was that this is what was going to make my soul happy for the rest of my life. And now that I sit here writing to you, I can proudly say, this is what I do. amongst a multitude of other things.
today, I currently reside in Buffalo, ny in company with the dearest of friends. my dad always used to tell me, ‘you are who you associate yourself with’ and that couldn’t be anymore true. in addition to passionately running my photography business, i also take pride in being a NYS licensed realtor with realty ONE group empower. It truly brings me joy to witness others thriving and experiencing abundance in their lives by helping them achieve real goals in real estate! so as far as you go, the message i’d like to send you before i take off, is that the alignment of my occupations wasn’t just a coincidence. whether i am selling you a home or photographing your most meaningful life moments, please know, i am going to do it with all of the heart & spirit my soul possesses.
