Alex captured really cool portraits for my maternity photoshoot by the beach. We were initially worried about no sun light in the evening however he did a great job during editing and added good light and colors to the pictures. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Great work Alex!

Davey was extremely friendly and easygoing. He has a natural curiosity, and asked questions about my line of work that helped him understand how to photograph me best. I was initially anxious about being photographed professionally, but his personality put me at ease immediately. His familiarity with my chosen location was also a plus. I highly recommend him!
