Hello, I’m Alix.
DOCUMENTING HUMANITY SINCE 2008.
I’m here to help keep you calm and centered throughout the day. I always keep things light-hearted and free.
MY ROOTS
Portland, OR based. At home everywhere.
Being the daughter of a photographer, I learned to operate a camera when I was 12 years old by following my dad around at weddings and taking candid photos of the bride, groom, and guests. I was always in the background, trying not to be seen, waiting for that perfect moment to snap a shot when nobody was looking. My dad taught me everything. After he retired 12 years ago, I decided to start my own photography business. That candid style he taught me shaped my photography style, and is still very prominent in my work to this day.
My Personality
I’m a huge dork. I love to laugh, smile, and generally make a fool of myself. I am also very sensitive, and tend to be very receptive of people’s vibes and play off of them. I have been told I am soft-spoken and calming, but am also a type A and love to make sure situations run smoothly. Most importantly, I want everyone around me to feel comfortable with themselves. With my friends, I am big on listening to their deepest, darkest secrets, and helping them become their best selves. When I am not working, you’ll find me hiking, camping, working out, lovin’ on my cat (Peach), watching movies, reading, listening to podcasts, trying a new restaurant, hanging out at my local bar, traveling, and most importantly, spending time with the people I love.
I'm heavily inspired by nature, cinema, music, architecture, art, fashion, and humanity
I’LL TELL YOUR
STORY THROUGH
MY LENS
TO BE BRIEF, MY SPECIALTY IS A
NATURAL, ORGANIC STYLE WITH A FOCUS ON YOU.
Natural, organic, non-posed imagery really captures my attention most. As an empath, I love feeling the vibes you bring as a couple, and playing on those emotions with my imagery. I watch for the way you lean on their shoulder, smile when they look at you, or hold pinkies instead of holding hands. I watch for these things, and I capture them, because those subtleties are the essence of your relationship. I’ll guide and direct you, while leaving room for improvisation and play. Let’s document you, as you are, at this point in your life.
I'm a sucker for nostalgia—anything that takes you back to a moment in time and makes your heart full.
All are welcome—Gay, straight, trans, democrat, republican, religious, atheist, and all races.
We’ll keep things real.
KIND WORDS
“Alix was so easy to work with, she was the first vendor I hired. I fell in love with her work when I found her. I love the depth and the candid moments. I didn't get to meet her in person until the day of my wedding, but she was so thorough and professional up until the day of, I had no worries! I did a boudoir shoot while I was getting ready and she also suggested sunset photos which I am so happy with. She has a great sense of humor and made my husband feel comfortable, he hates taking pictures. All in all I would definitely hire Alix again!”
