December 3, 2017

It’s always a pleasure to photograph other photographers, so I was thrilled when Katrina asked me to capture her third pregnancy in sunny San Diego, California!  Katrina is not only a talented photographer but a stylist with a killer wardrobe!  This stunning, yet simple, pink gown suited her so well.

Hamilton Oaks Winery in San Diego was so peaceful and complimented Katrina’s glowing state perfectly!

I adore shooting maternity sessions.  They are a season in life I hold near and dear to my heart as a mama myself.  I know how important it is to document this fast season in our lives.  Once our little ones are here, it’s hard to remember what it was like having them in our bellies!  I can’t wait to meet little Ms. Penelope when she arrives soon!

Styling | Katrina Thaxton

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT alexis

At home near the sea. Back porch sittin' listening to the sounds of the low country.  Jeans and a tee. Waffle House. Jersey girl. Kane Brown on repeat.

Born and raised in a small town in New Jersey, I whole heartedly believe in the saying, "you can take the girl out of Jersey, but ya can't take the Jersey out of the girl." I left the Garden State at a mere 18 years old when I joined the Marine Corps and have since lived in a few different states. I have three amazing humans that call me mom and two furry children that would also call me mom if they could talk. I live for the fall, love pasta and although I am trying really hard to quit soda, I can't go a week without a refreshing canned coke. I absolutely love interior design and wish I were better at it but in my spare time I really love making my little golf cottage a home.
