Hey friend,

Im so excited you’re here!


Thank you for your interest in my work! I’m Alejandra, but you can call me Alex. I was born in Santa Barbara and grew up on a charming farm in Ojai, California. My parents still live on that farm, and I’m fortunate to share those same cherished memories with my daughter, Rayne (pronounced like “rain”).


My journey into photography began when I was a young girl with disposable cameras. In high school, my dad gave me my first digital camera, and during college, I explored film photography. This experience deepened my appreciation for the art as I learned about composition, manual settings, and film development. I strive to bring a timeless quality to my current work, incorporating a touch of film’s classic feel with my edits, which stay true to tone with just a hint of grain.


When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me cozy on the couch with a good book or hunting for treasures at thrift stores—I like to think of myself as the queen of thrifting! My husband, Isaiah, and I are passionate about reusing and recycling; our home is filled with secondhand finds, and we like to say we're doing our part to save the earth ♡


A fun fact that surprises many is that my entire family—myself, my husband, and our daughter—all ride dirt bikes. We love camping in the desert and hitting the trails. For me, riding is a therapeutic escape, allowing me to focus solely on the path ahead and forget about stress and anxiety. Similarly, photography offers me a profound sense of escape and fulfillment—it’s something that just feels right.
