With a desire to play around with coloured lighting, Alex enlisted professional actress Tammy Mattox for a quick, experimental portrait session. With a background of black posterboard from a dollar store, two LED lights, and a handful of colour gels, the two made some stunning images in a cramped storage room in half an hour.

Teen model Geionie Arie modeling in her mother's salon. This was part of a larger shoot also involving her similarily-photogenic mother Ayoki Styles, who also created some glam hair and makeup looks for the pair. Shot with two simple fluourescent lights, it was a difficult editing session. These ladies looked amazing in the 100+ photos taken!

Baby Beckham started modeling to pay for his schooling. When his mother plopped him down in the sunny patch of grass, the 2-year-old came alive with a big personality. Alex simply watched and listened, allowing Beckham to lead their portrait session as the baby did his own thing.

Aimee knows Western North Carolina like the back of her hand. She and Alex took a stroll around downtown with no particular plan in mind, stopping by to take a few photos of whatever caught their eye.

Aimee showed Alex the beauty of Max Patch, a mountain on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. At sunset, the pair had a fun time trying to work around the falling light and dozens of other hiking visitors. With an unresaonable refusal to use flash lighting, Alex it's a good thing Alex is a pro with manual camera settings.

Upon finding a little waterfall hidden away, both model and photographer traversed somewhat-daring conditions to get their shots. And with Haley's stunning blue eyes, Alex really wanted a shot to spotlight them.

RJ's 1st Birthday! This cute little boy was quite the natural in front of the camera, without the behind-the-camera encouragement of his parents that most infants and toddlers need. Alex simply followed RJ and his parents around the playground, letting the birthday boy have his fun while Alex stayed away like a fly on the wall.

Alex's mother could not stop talking about this woman, Glenda, who was described as incredibly stylish and glowing by her coworkers. Glenda happily agreed to a quick shoot, where Alex took the Asheville native on a walk downtown, where she exuded confidence in every shot.

Baylee Obermeier was fairly new to modeling, but didn't show it. The graffiti of the River Arts District brought out the light behind her eyes, and Alex snapped away.

Fox is no stranger to being in front of the camera. Armed with dozens of outfits, Alex was glad to have followed her lead in this rare studio shoot. With just two flurosecnt lights, Fox and Alex easily made do with what little they had

Cindy loves live music, so Alex took her to the infamous Orange Peel venue to make her feel at home. With harsh lighting as a challenge, the pair pulled through with some simple matte shots.
