Allow me to introduce myself:

Hello. My name is Alexis. My brothers call me “Alex” or simply use my middle name, “Winston” just to make me mad. I am a student, receptionist at a hair salon, and photographer, currently based in Boston, Massachusetts. I was raised all over the United States while my Dad was a Marine. My mom is my best friend. I drink hot tea as if it were water. Although I am an artist of all mediums, photography is my life-long love. From pinholes to darkroom printing, inkings and bromoil printing, I find no better way to make life out of my memories.

If I learned anything growing up, it is three main things: integrity, the importance of family, and that anything without Christ is nothing. Being a photographer is truly a blessing, because it is a place where all of my greatest loves meet: art as life’s mirror of time, ideas, and beauty; as well as the opportunity to work personally with people in whom I come to know Christ.

As I am about to enter my senior year of college and leaving for study abroad in two weeks, I find no better time than now to start blogging again. I’ve noticed more in the past two years, that when I am not writing, it is usually because my life does not feel stable. This is actually when I should be writing the most!

I love to write. It allows me to think in ways that I could never through conversation. So here it is, a new blog, simply because I can write better than I can speak…
