Alexa is one of the most charismatic people and photographers. I am extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera and was very nervous about our shoot. We had called her to organize our engagement shoot for our wedding photos. We decided to do them in studio instead of outside as we wanted them to be a bit dramatic and have some fun and fun we did!!!! We had a total blast, she knew just what to do to help us get comfortable and the results were amazing. We then asked if she would photograph our small civil ceremony in my parents backyard--again a total success! We have since had her come to photograph my grandmothers 90th birthday party, my brother had her do his headshots--we even invited her to our big wedding in France (as a guest of course)!! If you're looking for an amazing photographer who loves her craft and who is also a wonderful person, call Alexa!! read more

LexMex Photography - Alexa's magic! - Session Photography Near Me - San Francisco, California

Alexa did my parent's 50th wedding anniversary portraits, and they were stellar! My dad is not much of a smiler, and I was worried they wouldn't relax enough to get that spark out of them, but Alexa did it! She is a perfectionist, makes her subjects feel at ease and takes those candid photo shots in between takes that happen to be gold. We've asked Alexa to photograph very special moments in our lives, and she is always phenomenal, but this one was extra special. I'll cherish these photos, and the fun-loving nature she was able to get out of them, forever. Thank you, Alexa! Can't wait for our next shoot. read more

LexMex Photography - Session Photography Near Me - San Francisco, California

Alexa photographed my partner's 40th birthday in the most challenging location: a dark tiki bar. The photos were stunning. She is an expert with low light photography. She is also a consummate professional, yet engaged with everyone in a way that made everyone at ease in front of her lens. Afterwards she even put together a teaser video for us to share on social media. We loved working with Alexa and highly recommend her for any event. read more

I literally only have great things to say about Alexa! I have admired her for a long time before I actually contacted her and my only regret is that I didn't contact her sooner, honestly. The process from first contact up to the project delivery was so fun and easy. When I initially reached out it was for photos for my business and she helped me flesh out my vision and talk me through some of the questions that I had in regards to how I envisioned my shoot. Talking to Alexa is like talking to a good friend, I felt so comfortable and confident in her artistic vision and felt (and now know) that she will execute and bring any project beyond my expectations. Before we even got started on my business project, I reached our to her for our family portraits photo shoot and again, Alexa was able to walk me through the whole process, so we know what to expect the day of. She was open to communication and again super friendly, making me feel relaxed and comfortable. Its important to note here, I have a 1yo and 3yo and I had no idea how i was going to wrangle them in a shoot. Well let me just that I was so pleasantly surprised because Alexa and her partner are masterful in their process of capturing the natural essence of my littles and my family. I never felt uncomfortable or self conscious, like that my kids are wild, and she made it all out to be such a smooth process, leading us through the entire way. I also changed a couple things on her last minute and completely forgot to communicate them to her because 'mom-brain' and she was so gracious and flexible with me. (Thanks Alexa!) So all of this to say, if you want an expert professional and someone who someone who will capture you, BOOK LexMex ....like yesterday. I am so looking forward to working together on our future projects. I'd give you 10 stars if i could. read more

Alexa is incredible! She photographed many of my important life events over the years and she continues to amaze me with her talent. Lex captured my engagement, wedding day, baby bump, and more recently, my little one's 1st birthday. Her lightheartedness and willingness to work around obstacles, like capturing my nuptials on the Golden Gate Bridge at 7am, are unmatched. I recently acquired one of her stunning prints from India for the center piece of my family room, and she coordinated the printing and shipping for us so we were able to get it in time for our housewarming event. She helped us work through mattes, evaluating our lighting setup, so the quality of her print is flawless. I've recommended her to my Bay Area friends because I know she always does great work. I can't wait to have her capture more moments of our life. read more

Professional and welcoming. I did not have a clear vision as to what I wanted my violinist portrait to look like and Alexa came with thoughtful and creative questions to unlock my "vision." She understood the numerous platforms my photos would appear on, and created images that were appropriate for all my performances, teaching studios, and artist biographies alike. I highly recommend her and appreciate the sliding scale she offers for performance artists. read more

Alexa photographed our Dance production in June and the images are wonderful! They capture the emotion, movement, expression, tradition, culture and beauty of the dancers and stage. She is an artist and was very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend her! read more

Alexa is an amazing photographer. She knows lighting, shading, angles, and most importantly, spirit. She helps you channel that inner being that sometimes gets buried by the day-to-day world, and she captures it on camera. A woman of color holding it down in the Mission District with her own shop, she has my highest recommendation! read more

Please be very cautious, aware, and alert when using this photographer. She takes quite a long time to respond for service requests or any request for that matter, doesn't provide service contracts for gigs, very good and sly sales techniques that include asking you to alter your review for completion of service, and many other things are wrong with the service provided. Not to get into a long drawn out review of this vendor, there can be a lot of drama after your session and hidden fees. Ensure that what you agree on verbally is in writing. Do not let her go over in time without any verbal agreements or something in writing, and ensure you agree who will pay for her transportation in between shoot sights. Believe me this will all come back to haunt you after the shoot if you deem her service hasn't been rendered in accordance with your agreement. Best of luck! read more

Alexa is an incredible artist. It was a dream come true to work with a local female latina photographer and after our work together I'm so glad I honored that dream. Alexa was compassionate, kind, fun, and guided me through creating all of the images that would go on my website. We clicked immediately and her studio quickly became my second home. We even extended our photoshoot to a second day. I too, (like the review below) dislike getting my photo taken and she managed to relax me, make me feel comfortable in my own skin and captured the essence of who I am. I'm so in love with the photos and confident to move forward with my business because I have authentic and beautiful images to tell the story of my work. You wont regret choosing her for this intimate experience! read more

We will be recommending her to friends wanting to support local artists and hope to find reasons to work with her again in the future! read more
