I love getting to explore with families. Stick toes in the sand, head in the clouds, hands and hearts held be one another.
Autumn in the South
I'm heading back to the South this week for family sessions and to teach at this year's The Fount Collective workshop in Florida. It reminded me of the last time I was in Georgia in the fall of 2019. The trees were changing autumnal tones, dropping their leaves that...
rhythms in homeschooling | teaching multiple grades
“The rhythm of family. Until we transform the chaos of family life, we can never hope to transform society. I envision a circle of caring intimacy. I envision a place where we celebrate waking, eating, noisy laughter, quiet moments of communion. I envision a sanctuary, however unorthodox, where each of us can develop inner harmony and strength of character.

The art of preserving nostalgia
Motherhood + family photography
Whether you are just about to welcome your first baby Earthside, find yourself in the throes of navigating the teenage years, or somewhere in between, I want to preserve this season for you. The one that you’re living today, because motherhood is an ever changing journey, and you will never regret having tangible reminders of you with your family just as that looks and feels right now. I am available for travel, and adore creating natural light, lifestyle photographs for people who love each other a lot. My goal will always be to meet you where you are, and I work hard each day to recognize my own journey and truth, so that I can more clearly see and honor the beauty of yours through photographs. I’ve been a film photographer for over nine years now, and am still as in love as ever with its soulful quality and authentic perspective. Let’s connect and create something meaningful, timeless, and honestly beautiful, together.

About me
I’m Alex, wife to a farmer, and homeschooling, home birthing, home making, and homesteading mama to our four little ones. We currently reside on a little farm in South Carolina where I am also a photographer and writer preserving all the facets of motherhood for myself and others. I believe in intentionally lived days that are firmly rooted in Jesus, with a healthy dose of empathy and wonder woven within the magically mundane.
