Meet your Photographer

hi there,

I'm alexis

I’m based in southern Illinois but love to travel far and near. I have a photography studio located in Cisne, IL on the square. I’m passionate about capturing real moments, whether that’s the quiet details, genuine emotions, or the story behind a single frame. I specialize in portraits, weddings, couples, families, children, maternity, & lifestyle newborn. I believe the best photos come from genuine connection & trust between the photographer & subject. When I’m behind the camera, I’m looking for moments that feel real rather than posed. My goal is for every photo to tell a story & for people to feel something when they see my work.

When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me chilling at home with my fiancé & our puppy Lucy, with my sister pretty much going anywhere or doing anything, at my cousins sporting events, or spending time with the ones I love the most. Some of my favorite hobbies include thrifting antiques & vintage clothes or my fiancés favorite (not, lol) decorating and rearranging my house & studio way too much!


One thing you'll learn quickly about me is I know most people aren't thrilled to step in front of the camera so I try to make it as painless & fun as possible for everyone! Of course I'll capture some of those quick posed smiling portraits but the more movement the better. Be prepared to laugh at random things we are standing next to or to run around playing tag with your kids. Trusting me & doing all the "weird prompts" will really pay off, I promise(;


I’d love to help you capture memories you’ll treasure for years to come. Let’s connect & create something beautiful together!
