Hi, I'm Alex.
Hi, I am Alex, the girl behind the lens.
My philosophy has always been to take a conscious approach to photography. This means I want to honor and respect every personality that I get to photograph. I strive to connect with your children and yourself; getting to know each personality and your unique family bond. I’ve learnt that every newborn is a distinctive human and I strive to understand their personality and let them lead me through the session.
I am well versed in toddler moments, infant hunger, upset and discomfort and I can confidently soothe baby and support you in those moments of what feels like chaos. My feathers are not easily ruffled. ;)
Throughout the years I have continued to educate myself on photography and parenting (having one daughter myself and one on the way) and I have learned that no two sessions are the same just like no two people are the same; and I love to photograph that.
My style is classic and timeless with minimal props; so the focus can be fully on whomever I am capturing that day. I hope that the memories I photograph will become lifelong keepsakes.
What is your first memory of wanting to work with children and what made you decide on photography?
Around 4 I dreamt of being a kindergarten teacher (so my mom says) and then when my baby brother was born when I was 11 I loved helping look after him and take his picture. It was in a high school marketing class that I understood the power of a single image and made me want to pursue it as a career.
When did you do your first session?
In my second year of Cegep in photography, a friend of mine had a baby (2012) and I asked if I could try newborn photography with her. Immediately the experience made me feel like I had found my purpose. From that moment on I was hooked and my journey to Tiny Marvels began.
How long have you been doing this full time?
I worked on my photography part time from 2012 to 2016. Building my clientele and portfolio and in December of 2016 I began working Full-Time.
How did you develop your passion- philosophy?
Through being the oldest in my family and being a nanny I found my love for connecting with babies and children. I started to see the personality differences that each little client brought to their sessions and realized I needed to adapt my approach in order to respect each one. Having my own daughter intensified that need to take a conscious approach to photography.
Tell us about your little family?
We are currently a little family of 3, soon to be 4! I have a 6 year old daughter and another daughter on the way! We live in Hull, Qc. only minutes from downtown Ottawa. We are a very active family and love the outdoors. We spend a lot of our time hiking the trails of Gatineau Park and snowboarding the many ski hills in the area. We love traveling and spending time with our family and friends!
Tiny Marvels (Alex) is amazing at what she does. She is kind, patient and truly puts her heart and soul into ensuring that your experience and your product is everything you could have wanted and more. We have done pregnancy shoots, cake smashes and Christmas minis and have always been in love with our pictures. Alex goes above and beyond and is extremely creative and talented. Additionally, she is quick to respond and gets your pictures back to you quickly. I always recommend her when someone asks me if I know a photographer! We even called her “the baby whisperer” from our experience working with our 10 day old. It was incredible! You will not be disappointed by booking with her.

I have had 2 mini style shoots with Tiny Marvels and will be coming back to capture more milestones with my family. I love Alexandra's style and editing, she is fun to work with and puts you at ease during the sessions. She's great with kids as well. Both times I received our gallery I had trouble narrowing down which photos to purchase - had it not been for our budget we would have gotten them all! That is not to say that prices are unreasonable, I think the prices are very competitive and you get so much for what you pay for - the memories are priceless.

Alex did our newborn photoshoot. We chose to do a lifestyle session where she comes into your home and takes the photos instead of in her studio. She managed to make 2 very awkward new parents and a newborn shine through her amazing pictures and simple style. We also did a milestone session in her studio which is amazingly set up and even though my daughter was not in her best most happy mood she still managed to get some adorable pictures with adorable smiles. You can tell that photography is her passion and she makes "normal" people look like models in her pictures.

Alex did both our Maternity and Baby photos. She was amazing to work with and so patient with our two older children. Her studio is set up so well and she is ready and willing with all the necessary accessories for beautiful photos.
I would definitely recommend her and will have her do our family photos in the future hands down!!!

We are so happy with the photography Alex has captured of our family. We have had back to school Bus Mini's with her as well as a Spring Blossom family shoot. She captured each one of our children's personalities and the candid pictures of our family bring a smile to my face every time I look at them because each picture has a story. Would recommend her services to anyone looking for great family photography!
