Cozy Winter New Jersey Family Portraits on Film

Drag me!

I don’t get to photograph too many family portrait sessions but every time I shoot one entirely on film it refreshes a part of my creative soul that needs that extra boost now and then. I am so grateful for friends and clients that allow me to stretch my creative ideas and document our time together exclusively with my favorite medium. Last winter while I was in New Jersey for a wedding, I finally got to meet a long time friend who I had only ever known through the wonder of Facebook to photograph her beautiful family. Sarah is a talented photographer and kick butt yoga teacher and I just wish she lived closer to Seattle so that we could see each other more often. Scroll through to see some of the fun we had together as a family – plenty of cuddles in the winter weather, laughs, macarons, and some double exposure experiments that turned out better than I could have ever hoped.

ready to tell your story?

Hi, I’m alex! A seattle wedding photographer who’s been documenting your stories since 2009.

I fell in love with photography almost 20 years ago in a darkroom class, and that love has never faded. What started as a darkroom class in college turned into photographing my first wedding solo in 2010,and I was hooked. The joy. The emotion. The vows. The details. The people.

I realized quickly that my fulfillment came from helping people see themselves in a beautiful, honest way. I move calmly. I guide confidently. I know how to capture all the angles and candid moments without you even noticing. My couples often say I have “photo superpowers” because of how much I capture while still keeping everything feeling easy and low-pressure.


Some photographers find wedding days chaotic.

I find them electric.
