i want this experience to flow and feel natural, as well as special and connective. i consider myself more of a guide than someone who is constantly directing. i want you to explore the area together, be silly together, perhaps embrace your routine. ultimately, i want your photos to FEEL like YOU.
I felt there was more emphasis on the in-between moments. The moments that aren’t necessarily intentional but so beautiful and raw. I feel like you captured a whole lot more personality and raw love, happiness and emotion within our own shoot where they evoke more of a feeling than a photograph. It highlighted our little quirks, laughs and you FEEL the love we have through the pictures. if I had to describe it I would say your photography style is “life WHILE it’s happening” like the best version of “enjoy the journey. The journey is the best part, the destination is a perk.” I just love love loved the intention of it all. So proud of you and your talent and hard work and why I keep coming to you for all my memory capsules!

When Alexi asked us to do this intimate photo session, we were so excited and couldn't wait. We absolutely loved the meditation at the beginning - it made the experience feel so special and unique. Alexi wanted to capture our evening routine, something no one had ever asked us to do before, and this brought out such a genuine and authentic vibe. Than you so much for the incredible photos and beautiful experience.

Lexi has a contagious energy during her shoots that makes you forget all about the camera. She's so welcoming and supportive that you feel like you're just hanging out with a friend and then bam all of the sudden there are a bunch of gorgeous photos of you looking way better than you ever could have hoped for. She's the real deal. I would recommend her for all of your photography needs.

I've done a few photo sessions and Alexi is by far the most fun, talented and exceptional photographer ever. She makes you feel so comfortable while taking your pictures and even got my other half to admit he liked being photographed by her. Her turn around time for booking and getting photos is REALLY quick and I love that she knows of all the best locations for what you’re thinking so you don’t need to rack your brain for a perfect location. Highly recommend her for all your photo needs!!!

Working with Alexi was an incredible experience all around! She is so wonderfully fun, welcoming, and had an amazing artistic vision. She made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire experience. We had such a good time throughout the shoot, and that shows through in the photos. We CANNOT STOP LOOKING AT THEM. She made us look and feel like movie stars! Everyone needs some Alexi in their lives!

My now fiancé hired Alexi for a surprise engagement shoot in California. Alexi had immense skill, talent, and creative vision that STUNNED our family & friends with the quality of photography and editing. A few have even commented these were the best engagement shoot photos they’ve ever seen, which was the ultimate compliment!
However, perhaps the aspects we appreciated even more were the thoughtful and personal approaches Alexi took. She had my fiancé fill out a questionnaire to help get to know us better, and went the extra mile to suggest spots for the proposal and even sent my fiancé videos of the recommended spot. The day of, Alexi’s warm and glowing personality immediately made me feel so at ease, and I immediately felt comfortable having someone I’d never met before involved in such an intimate moment. Truly, Alexi’s positive energy and unique presence made our engagement day that much more special. She also struck the perfect balance between directing shots and allowing us the freedom to explore.
I cannot thank Salée enough. Given the way Alexi handled everything so professionally from beginning to end, we wholeheartedly, unreservedly encourage you to make her a part of any occasion.

We had the most amazing time shooting with Alexi! My husband and I hadn't had any professional pictures taken of us since our wedding (6+ years ago!) and she made the entire experience effortless, fun, and comfortable. She had so many great ideas and was flexible and open to all our suggestions. We were even able to include our senior pup, which was really important to us. I wish I could just pack Alexi up in a suitcase and take her on all of life's adventures. I can't stress this enough - BOOK ALEXI!! -

My experience with Alexi was amazing! I scheduled a shoot with her in Big Sur for my anniversary which ended up being our engagement shoot (he proposed a few days before). I had a vision of us amongst the redwoods and the sea and she captured us perfectly. She scouted the area beforehand which was much appreciated and found the perrrrfect locations. She took the most beautiful shots that were the perfect combination of “posed” and also us just in our natural forms. It was so fun and memorable for us, and made our engagement weekend so much more special. We will always treasure these photos and be so appreciative of her enthusiasm for her work and her clients.

Seriously. I cannot say enough tremendous and wonderful things about Salée. I met Alexi in Alaska. On a whim, we booked a photography session with her and immediately felt so comfortable with her. That silly little pressure in our heads and nerves? Gone. Wondering if she’d capture our authenticity and genuine happiness? CAPTURED. She captured every wonderful moment and we are UNBELIEVABLY grateful for the experience. The photos came out beautifully, and she gave us our digital album so quick (and there were PLENTIFUL photos by the way). On a personal note, she's also become my bff. Seriously such a blessing to have met her, and I hope to work with her again soon!!
