Here are some tips to ensure that you feel prepared and relaxed at your session!
Remember that this session is about capturing you. Embrace your personality and let it shine.
Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Avoid anything that feels too tight or restrictive. I will also send you a styling guide to help you choose your outfit!
Relax and trust in my expertise. I’ll guide you through poses and moments to help you feel at ease!
If you’re nervous, bring someone who makes you feel relaxed and can support you during the shoot. However, it is important to note that the creative process will only be between you and myself!
Think of the session as a fun experience rather than a chore. The more you enjoy it, the more natural the photos will be!
Let me know if there’s anything specific you’re nervous about or if you have any ideas. This will help us work together to create a session tailored to you!
Photography is the art of frozen time… the ability to store emotion and feelings within a frame.
- Meshach H.
A: Yes of course!!!! Parents, friends, significant others, and more are always welcome to join the fun! They are more than welcome to capture behind the scenes moments or join in a few of the photos! However, it is important that the creative process lies between the client and myself!
Q: Can I bring someone to my session with me?
A: This is the unfortunate part about me but I have severe car anxiety due to getting in a really bad car accident when I was 16! I'm okay driving in areas that I have been before so you will just have to ask me if somewhere is too far! I really appreciate my clients being willing to work with me through this fear, so thank you in advance for being willing to accommodate me here!!
Q: How far do you travel?

Shooting with Lexi was absolutely the best!! This was my first time getting professional pictures done so I was a little nervous, looking back it was one of the most memorable parts of my senior year! When getting our pictures done I felt super comfortable with Lexi as if we had known each other for forever. One thing I admire is how she will send sneak peaks of pictures from the session within 24 hours, it shows her passion and dedication to photography.
“I cannot recommend her enough and will forever brag about her!”
