True to Color, True to You
My editing style is true to color with a warm, soft glow—think dreamy, clean, and timeless. I want your photos to reflect how the moment actually felt, so I keep skin tones natural and colors rich without going overboard. I favor vibrant, natural tones that preserve how the Earth actually looked that day, just with a little extra magic that is still authentic and timeless!
I stay away from overly filtered or trendy edits because I value the natural beauty of the world and of you! I don’t want you looking back in five years wondering why your photos were pink, oversaturated, moody brown, or blinding white just because that was the trend. I want your images to feel just as beautiful and relevant years from now—because timeless beats trendy, always!
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!

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.
