Capturing Life's Moments
Welcome to Cedar&Brass! I’m Alex, the creative spirit behind the lens. From a young age, I’ve been passionate about all things creative, and now, capturing the most special moments of people’s lives is my favorite way to express that creativity.
My photography style is always evolving because I believe in tailoring each shoot to fit your unique vision. Understanding what matters to you helps me create photos that truly reflect your personal style.
Being a photographer isn’t just about having a keen eye—it also requires a bit of flexibility (both literally and figuratively)! Most importantly, it’s about connecting with you to make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable. That’s when the most authentic and beautiful moments shine through.
If you’re up for a fun, light-hearted photo session, I’m here for you. Let’s make some wonderful memories together!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me hiking and discovering new trails, usually with my beautiful yellow labrador Penny. When I am gifted with extra time, my love for travel and history takes me to exciting new locations, and I find joy in uncovering the stories behind old, cherished places. My husband is my travel partner, sharing in the excitement of exploring the old and new.
Down time at home involves editing and tending to my vegetable garden, where I eagerly await the growth of my own natural produce and find solace in nature’s rhythm. Embracing a natural lifestyle is important to me, and I prefer using natural products in my daily routine. Each of these passions—whether it's exploring hidden paths, enjoying vintage treasures, or tending to my garden—adds layers of inspiration to my photography, allowing me to see the world through a rich and vibrant lens.

My Sidekick
My Nikon (Nikki) goes with me just about everywhere. Although sometimes Nikki gets left at home so that I can truly focus on the moment instead of the perfect shot.

Penny
When I'm not traveling with my husband or friends, I'm off on new adventures with Penny, my trusty dog. Together, we explore hidden trails, chase the horizon, and uncover the world's secrets, one paw print at a time.

Engagement
After an adventurous climb up a mountain in Zermatt, with legs tired from the hike and hearts racing from the excitement, we reached the summit. Surrounded by breathtaking views, we decided it was the perfect moment to pop the question. An engagement ring and hiking boots—an unforgettable combination!
