“When Alex shared about The Mother’s Way and I instantly was drawn to it. I had done a mastermind with her previously and it just felt like the next right thing to do. And it was… Alex is so great at getting to the heart of what you are searching for in a mentor. She is a wonderful encourager who helped me take that shift in my business and feel really good about it. Her view of life, business, motherhood, and faith are so inspiring. Her wealth of knowledge never ceases to amaze me and honestly, I wish I could work with her all year round! Friends, if you feel the tug between a fast-paced, busy work life and the desire to spend your time with your family, this mentorship is a wonderful place to start. You will be a better [mother, business owner, photographer, wife, friend] for it.”

“The Mother’s Way was  like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It was so much more than a mentorship or a workshop. Our group not only learned how to find balance in business and motherhood: we grew together, cheered each other on, and got vulnerable together. I think the reason it was so special was because Alex created something that touches on the whole person behind our businesses. We aren’t just business owners: we’re mothers, we’re wives, we’re friends, we’re sisters. It all plays a role in the way we show up and serve our clients. This approach was so refreshing and I’m so grateful to have been a part of this experience.

 Thank you x a million, Alex! Love you!”

-Lauren T.

“Alex gave me that guidance and so much more. Instantly, when talking to Alex on the phone, it felt as if I was talking to an old friend. She is warm , kind, compassionate, and so darn real. She is not afraid to speak truth into your life – you need that!! 

Alex encouraged me towards rest and simplicity in my business. She taught me the real meaning of “less is more” in both how I market, and how many clients I take in a year. She will help you through the challenges that you specifically are facing in your business, especially as you wrestle with how motherhood fits into the picture. It does not matter if you have been doing photography for two months or for 20 years – she will have plenty of wisdom to pour out for your situation. 

If you are feeling that endless pull between motherhood and your business, constantly bogged down and strained, then this mentorship and retreat is exactly what you need. 

I love Alex, love her family, love her leadership, and love her work. A true godsend.”

“This is my second time being mentored by Alex. I joined her Magically Mundane Workshop back in 2019 in Sausalito, California, and I remembered leaving the weekend feeling so inspired and fresh. The workshop changed my view on motherhood photography completely. Over the years, my business has grown and so did our family. With all the changes, I knew I needed a little extra help to navigate what’s coming next, and the first person I thought of is Alex. Six months with The Mother’s Way was a dream. Alex is not your regular “business” mentor. She is your (my) life’s mentor. She has so much wisdom in growing a business alongside building your family, with more focus on the later. As a mother, this is exactly what I’m looking for. Not more “business” tactics, or ways to get more followers, but how to build the business in such a way that serves my family, my client’s family, and my own heart. It’s a JOY. Alex taught me how to find JOY, and how to have faith. With the Mother’s Way, our little group met and chat every month. We shared our wins and struggles. We encouraged each other through the busiest season (aka Fall). We brainstormed ideas, gave support and love. It was so, so wonderful. I’m grateful to be a part of this group of beautiful women for 6 months.”

“Being part of The Mother’s Way has been a life changing experience for me – one that is unforgettable and will forever be engraved in my heart. I am not a seasoned photographer, so one of the first questions that obviously came into mind was “is this program right for me and in the season I’m in?” As a mother of two (4 and 2), I wondered whether investing in this program, if I were chosen, would be worthwhile. 

The 6months of 1:1 phone calls and zoom meetings with the other wonderful and talented ladies, and retreat really put all the worries and fear I had away. Instead, I was encouraged and motivated and importantly found myself not feeling alone in starting film, the business aspect, as well as being confident in my priorities, all while navigating through motherhood. 

All this to say, Alex is the sweetest soul to pour into you and answer whatever questions you have, and the other ladies I have had the honor and privilege getting to know during this program came alongside me and were supportive – even to this day! I absolutely love them! And I am so glad I took that leap because I have never felt more confident as a mother and the impact I’m having in my home with my children.”

-Alley G.

“I attended the South Carolina workshop in April of 2021. I loved witnessing Alex teach the art of photography from her soul, interact perfectly and sweetly with her clients, and love on her precious family -all simultaneously. She hosted and served us in all the ways a person could, and with the most joyful heart and spirit.

My takeaways from the workshop weekend were extraordinary, intricate, and profound. The workshop has surely changed my business, but more importantly has changed me as a person. “

– Jessie R.

“Alex is one of my favorite family photographers out there. I had been longing to attend one of Alex’s workshops from the second she announced them! It was refreshing to meet her and find out she is exactly as I thought and what she seems to be. Alex gave me the permission and confirmed my desire to slow down and simplify in an industry that preaches more, better, faster, and volume. I enjoyed it very much!”

– Brianna W

“It’s hard for me to into words what all I came away with from Alex’s workshop weekend in Portland. Really, it was SO wonderful and it’s made such an impact on my life and my business. If someone were to ask me about it, I would probably say something along the lines of:

First, Alex is one of the most authentic people I have ever met. She is exactly who you think she is. She is warm, welcoming, and also happens to be incredibly talented, so it’s not a surprise that I came away from the weekend at Magically Mundane feeling rested, inspired, and ready to push my creativity to the next level. I’m still in touch with many of the women I met in Portland via social media and am constantly inspired by what they are doing in the industry – the community created via Alex’s workshop has been almost as beneficial as the weekend itself, not to mention the amazing photographs I came home with after 3 sessions working with Alex in Portland. Highly recommend!”

– Tara F

“The workshop came at a time when I was wrestling with how to balance jumping back into my business while also continuing to serve my family well. Alex does both of these so incredibly well and makes it look effortless in the process. After learning her heart behind capturing families and motherhood, I was encouraged to photograph what I find beautiful rather than what I hoped would look beautiful in an Instagram grid. So Alex, thank you for helping me find my passion again for creating beautiful images!”

-Cheyenne S

“I’ve attended several workshops and Alex’s workshop was the perfect blend of teaching and authentic experience – consistent with the brand you’ve created to evoke the beauty and appreciation of motherhood! As a mother and motherhood photographer, you’ve helped shape my perspective of how these two roles can exist seamlessly and realistically, which is such a gift as I have struggled to find balance since having my second baby. Since your workshop I’ve intentionally slowed down and focused on quality and experience rather than volume and I’ve fallen in love with photography all over again. The best part of all was I shot my first roll of film ever alongside you and my gallery was nearly flawless!”

– Natalie Y

“Alex’s workshop was such an absolute breath of fresh air! Alex’s demeanor is so calming and gentle–yet confident and stoic. For someone like me who comes into family sessions feeling like I need to be exuding an overly excited energy, Alex really taught me to slow down and open my eyes to what really is unfolding before me. And that’s when the MAGIC really happens. When we slow down, see, connect, and feel what is right in front of us, that’s when we can make any mundane moment truly magical.”

– Emma H

“From the very first time I stumbled upon Alex’s feed, her gentle spirit and love for all things motherhood resonated deeply with my own mama heart. Alex’s workshop she led in Charleston absolutely filled my cup and fed my creative spirit. I left feeling inspired to allow more of myself and my own motherhood to reflect into the moments I capture for clients. Even more so, however, it challenged me in my own motherhood journey – to be more present, more intentional, more aware.”

-Kristie L

I left this workshop with more confidence in my film work, practical advice for documenting a family’s story, and even more importantly – perspective on running my business as a mother.
