About
Hi, and thank you for visiting my profile.
Photography is very personal, and every photographer has a distinct style. With 14 years in business, I focus on capturing authentic moments through thoughtful use of color, light, and storytelling across portraits, engagements, and weddings.
Because Thumbtack charges professionals for each inquiry, I kindly ask that you take a moment to explore my portfolio first. See if my style and approach feel like the right fit for your vision.
If what you see resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect and talk about how we can create meaningful images together.

I had my graduation photos taken by Alec, and it was a great experience! He was professional, friendly, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Even though I booked at the last minute, he communicated promptly and made everything easy to arrange.
Before the shoot, we had a phone call to discuss details, which helped me feel prepared and comfortable. His pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of service and photos I received.
What stood out most was his attention to detail and commitment to getting the best shots possible. He didn’t just take a picture and move on to the next location. Instead, he took multiple shots from different angles and continued working until he was satisfied with the results. My photoshoot day was also very windy, but Alec was patient, helpful, and adapted well to the conditions to make sure I still got great photos.
I would definitely book Alec again for future graduation or professional photoshoots. My advice to anyone booking with him is to come prepared—dress well, choose your locations ahead of time, and have a few pose ideas in mind. Alec will take it from there and capture some great photos. Highly recommended!
