I’m Lexi Rae, an Oʻahu, Hawaii based photographer specializing in vibrant, candid portraits for couples, seniors, best friends, and travelers who want photos that capture genuine connection. From beach sunsets to mountain views, I love bringing your story to life against an incredibly beautiful Hawaiian backdrop!
I can't wait to be besties with you!!!
I recently relocated to Oahu, Hawaii from Texas! I’ve always loved photos and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have some sort of camera in my hand whether it was a digital camera, my Nintendo DS, or anything that could take a picture. You could always find me photographing my dogs, my friends, and the little moments around me!
Before pursuing photography full time, I spent 3.5 years as a high school teacher. I loved connecting with my students and helping them grow, but over time, I realized that my true calling was behind the camera. Now, as an Oahu photographer, I’m so grateful to capture meaningful memories for amazing people across Hawaii.
I count my blessings every day that I get to pick up my camera and be part of someone’s special moment. For me photography isn't a job. It's a privilege to witness and capture the milestones in your life. It's an honor that I never take for granted!
And you come away with a great little story

about me
I don't know who I would be without photography
Photography has been a part of my life since I can ever remember and my mom was a huge reason for my love of photographs. I remember as a little girl, my mom had a box full of photographs that I used to love to get out and appreciate the memories my mom captured. Growing up, I watched her take photos at every event whether it was family or friends. My mom was in her early 30's when Myspace was a thng and we used to lay in her bed and look at the photos she would upload together. She also used to put together scrapbooks with my baby photos or her relationship with my stepdad. She taught me that capturing every moment was so important and that each photo tells a story. Her passion for preserving these moments showed me that every photograph is a way to freeze time, to hold onto the people, places, and experiences that shape who we are. It’s a lesson that has stayed with me and continues to guide my work as a photographer today.

Lexi and I have gotten to know eachother throughout my entire senior year. She is AMAZING at capturing whatever your vibe may be and always makes the shoots so personal. I have never been left dissatisfied with any of the times I've worked with her because she puts blood, sweat, and tears into the work. The sessions were always full of laughter and smiles making my experience with her a 10/10. I will ALWAYS recommend getting your pictures done with Lexi because she just gets it!!!
"She is so, so, so passionate for what she does and it really shows with how willing she is to strive for the best."
