Hi, I’m Lex!
I’ve been drawn to preserving memories for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I’d lose myself in old VHS tapes and photo albums, amazed at how a single frame could bring back a whole moment. That sense of nostalgia — the joy, the realness, the connection — is what sparked my love for photography and content creation, and it’s still what drives me today.
I started The Essential Social because I know how quickly life moves. As a mom and a partner of nearly ten years, I’ve learned firsthand how fleeting the little things are — the glances, the laughs, the in-between details you think you’ll always remember but somehow slip away.
My work is about slowing that down for you. When you invite me in, you’re not just hiring someone with a camera — you’re bringing in someone who understands how much these memories matter. I show up calm, steady, and ready to help you actually enjoy what’s happening while I quietly preserve it.
Whether it’s your wedding day, growing your family, or building your brand, my goal is simple: to give you images and content that feel warm, genuine, and true to your story — the kind you’ll want to revisit for years.

My approach is all about blending a minimalistic, clean style with a touch of creativity and authenticity. I use high-quality professional camera footage, nostalgic camcorder media, and iPhone videos to capture stunning visuals. My experience in social media management and branding allows me to create content that not only looks great but also resonates with your audience in a timeless manner.

My process starts with a complimentary consultation to understand your needs and vision. From there, I’ll create a plan tailored to your goals (ie. capturing your wedding day, working on brand content, etc). Then, we'll come to an agreement and begin our process of working together!

Life is full of surprises, and that’s exactly what I love to capture. Crying babies, spilled drinks, laughter you didn’t expect—those are the moments that tell the real story. I roll with it all and make sure nothing important is missed.
