Snippets of my life..
A little more about me!
My name is Alexia! I recently moved from Florida to Denver, Colorado and every day I am finding more to love about the Mountain West. I am a pretty easy going person, and also someone who has TOO many interests. I like trying new things whether it's different sports, shark diving, or living out of a camper van for a month; I'm pretty much open to any experience. I love curling up with a book at night with some green tea, and getting lost in my favorite genre: Romantasy. My husband serves the U.S Space Force, and still hasn't told me if aliens exist yet.. Overly obsessed with my 110 lb, american bulldog, Panda. He is my child. Lastly, but most importantly I enjoy immersing myself into whatever country or state I am exploring! I approach life with curiosity and having fun whenever I can and I bring that into how I approach documenting my wonderful clients memories! So it's nice to meet you!
As I like to say, I may not be the most "aesthetic" but I am the most real when it comes to my creativity.
My background.
it all started with a disposable camera
So once I found out I could turn this into a full blown career, I was determined to know everything there was to learn about it. My first stop was moving to good ole Chi-town and attending one of the best private art schools, Columbia College of Chicago. There I studied black and white film photography, and got to develop my own film in the darkrooms. Once I started developing my own work, you couldn't get me to leave that red lighted sanctuary. I would be in there from sun up to sun down on my day off from classes. It was just incredible to see my street photography come to life.
Chicago helped me tap into a different set of skills I didn't even know I needed. I grew so much as an artist but I really missed my family (and the winters are no joke there...brrr) and decided to move back to Florida. I, then, attended the Art Institute of Tampa where I majored in Digital Photography and received my Bachelors. I took classes on post production, studio lighting, posing, building websites, illustration, product photography, and more. I know people say college is a waste of time, but I really did develop skills that have gotten me where I am today and set me apart. I'm proud of the time I invested. It has helped me better serve my clients and developed a great apprecation for my craft!
