I'm Alexa, the mama behind the lens! I am 31 years old, born and raised Tampa girl, still trying to navigate my way through being a mom and functioning adult. My favorite things are iced coffee, Disney adventures, spending time with my family, and of course - photography!

MY GOAL IS TO CAPTURE THE LITTLE DETAILS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT THINK TO CAPTURE. LIKE THE GAPED TOOTH SMILES OF YOUR SON, OR THE CHUBBY LITTLE FINGERS THAT YOUR DAUGHTER USED TO HAVE. THE NATURAL DETAILS THE HELP CREATE THE MEMORIES THAT YOU NEVER WANT TO FORGET. 

THAT IS WHY I GIVE YOU THE ROOM AND SPACE TO BE YOU. I LIKE TO LET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE. SOMETIMES GETTING COMFORTABLE TAKES SOME EFFORT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE’S ANTSY TODDLERS AND GRUMPY BABIES INVOLVED. DO NOT FRET. I’M USED TO IT ALL AND DON’T MIND WAITING, TAKING BREAKS, HELPING TO MAKE JOKES TO SOFTEN THE MOOD, PLAYING MUSIC, OR WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HELP EVERYONE RELAX.

Method to my Madness…

While photography is an art, working without a plan is mayhem. To help things run smoothly, here is a glimpse into how I work so you know exactly what you’re getting into!

"If you ever hear yourself say you wish you could freeze time, you NEED to call Alexa at A Rae of Light Photography. She has a way of capturing the little details you never ever want to forget!" - Lacey S.

"Alexa was such a pleasure to work with. Her fun and creative attitude made our mother and son pictures even much more memorable. She’s not only a professional that we’ve hired but she has become one of my best friends." - Wendy A.

"Alexa makes it so fun. She is so talented and natural when it comes to capturing moments in time. And she’s beyond patient when it comes to children!" - Amanda L.

"Alexa just has an eye for photography. She’s able to instantly make me feel comfortable while shooting with her."  -Daniella M.
