Get to know the photographer
Family & Lifestyle Portraits
Hi, I’m Alexa—the heart behind GoldenHourCo. Born and raised in the small-town charm of Buckhannon, West Virginia, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for nature, people, and the moments that make life meaningful. My love for photography grew out of my passion for storytelling and my background in teaching—both of which have taught me the value of connection, patience, and capturing people as they truly are.
Starting my own photography business felt like a natural extension of who I am. I wanted to create more than just a service. I wanted to create a space where people feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable in front of the lens. Whether it’s a family session filled with laughter, a quiet golden hour portrait, or an adventurous couples shoot, I strive to make every session fun, meaningful, and memorable.
I believe that the best photos come from genuine moments, and I’m here to help you turn those moments into lasting memories. Let’s tell your story beautifully, honestly, and in the best light.
At GoldenHourCo, photography isn't just about the picture—it's about the feeling, the light, and the story behind every frame.
There is nothing more powerful or tender than the journey into motherhood. From the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the first days with your newborn in your arms, these are the moments that deserve to be remembered forever. I’m deeply passionate about capturing the beauty, strength, and emotion of this season—whether it’s a glowing maternity session, an intimate in-home newborn shoot, or a lifestyle session that celebrates the everyday magic of motherhood. These aren’t just photos—they’re your legacy, your love, and your story. Let’s create something timeless, something real, and something you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s preserving the emotions, connections, and fleeting moments that make life beautiful. It’s about capturing laughter that fills the air, the quiet glances between loved ones, the wild joy of children playing, and the golden glow of a sunset that feels like magic. At its core, photography is storytelling. It allows us to freeze time, hold onto memories, and relive the most meaningful chapters of our lives. Through my lens, I aim to reflect the real, the raw, and the radiant—so you not only see your photos but feel them for years to come.
