We did a girls a trip to Canmore with a photo shoot with Alexis. She was so patient with us changing so much but we couldn’t even help it. It was so much fun! I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day. We were so comfortable that at the end of the day all of us did some boudoir pictures. Highly recommend this as a girls bonding experience. We just had the photo reveal and the pictures are way more than any of us could have ever imagined. Alexis is a true talent that know how to empower women and make them feel powerful.

I have known and worked with Alexis for many years in the capacity of a professional makeup artist, and it has always been my pleasure to work with her. She is very creative, soft-spoken, kind and gentle when dealing with others and always goes out of her way to exceed her client and colleague expectations. She is an expert in capturing the movement, the grace and elegance of the person, she knows how to make one feel comfortable in front of the camera; her photography skills are just out of this world amazing- each piece is a beautiful work of art which can be framed and placed on the wall for all to admire. Her studio is like a museum of art in itself- tastefully, beautifully decorated with vintage pieces, tulle skirts, several backdrop options, and of course her own produced photography of people and objects- she thought of every detail. Alexis is a very talented artist with a unique style, and I would highly highly recommend her as a leading photographer in the Bow Valley.

We had Alexis take our portrait recently and she was terrific to work with, and the photos turned out so great! She made us feel so at home in her studio and we were so relaxed that the portraits truly captured who we are. We would highly recommend Alexis for anyone looking to have a professional or family portrait done. She's wonderful to work with.

The experience of Alexis McKeown and her photo studio is comparable to having tea with your favourite friend. She's curious about you in a genuine way, which is why the photos truly bring out your best: She sees you for your qualities and creatively showcases the combination of your inner and outer beauty through a visual story. I appreciated the swift turnaround with the final edits and variety of formats after we chose the proofs.

I was waiting for the time in my life to do a Simplicity photo session with Alexis, and now was the time as I had come to the closure of creating Sarah Freeman Coaching. Alexis has such a gift, not only her incredible eye of photography and uniqueness she adds , but the authentic connection she brings into the a photo session this enabled me to look into the lens and beyond. From the moment I step into her studio I felt at ease and welcomed. I would highly recommend a Simplicity Photo Session (any of her photo sessions) with Alexis, everyone should do this once in there life if not more! I will be back for another session, and one with my mum in the near future. Thank you Alexis can't wait to come back again!

I love my professional headshots, Alexis is a total pro. I was initially nervous to go into my session, but Alexis did everything to make me feel at ease and empowered in the process. She has an amazing eye and is a true artist. I won't hesitate to choose her again the next time I need some photos!

Alexis is such an amazing photographer, and human. She took the time to take my photos when she was up in Edmonton in summer 2019. We did a dance shoot, and I split the shoot time with another friend who was getting headshots done, although this could be chaotic it couldn't have been easier. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful - not to mention how wonderful the shots turned out! I also gained a wonderful life long friend in the process.

I have been following Alexis' portrait work for years and have been continually impressed with the quality and consistency of her photography. When I needed new headshots for my upcoming book, I decided to hire Alexis. My expectations were high, and she did not disappoint! She was lovely to work with on-site, as well as in the post-processing stage of the headshots when I had some specific requests and changes that she made in a timely manner (and without any fuss at all). She was a delight to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a portrait for their professional or personal use.

I spent a girls’ day with 3 friends in a recent photo session with Alexis. Alexis comes across so genuinely, and has an amazing gift to make people feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. We each walked away from the experience feeling like a million bucks, and that’s without even having seen the pictures at that point! I’ll also give a shout out to her team, who took the time to understand our individual wants and wishes about our hair and makeup, so we could bring out our best selves, and still feel and look like ‘us’. I’ve since had the chance to see some of the pictures (and more to come!) and they did not disappoint. What a wonderful way to feel good about yourself and recognize that we are each beautiful in our own wonderful and individual ways. Thank you Alexis!

Alexis is an amazing photographer and person. She creates an environment that ensures your comfortable by getting to know you. The photos taken are some of the most beautiful portraits taken and I believe she truly captured me, rather than simply being a client. Alexis also takes extra time to make sure each shot was 'just right' and encouraged unique ways of posing that still maintained a professional image. She even took a few extra shots at the end that showed she truly listened to what I believe in. Quite simply, I was moved to tears by some of the photos she created. I’d also not be doing her studio justice if I didn’t note her hair and makeup crew are fantastic women. Both are kind, generous souls who really make you feel fabulous. I would not hesitate to go to Alexis again or recommend her to friends/family. Thank you Alexis!

Alexis had taken the class photos of my daughter's dance classes for years, so I knew that she was my choice for getting my daughter's grad pictures taken. Alexis not only took photos of my daughter, but also mother/daughter photographs and family portraits. Our family lives in Edmonton but we all travelled to Canmore to get the pictures taken. It was well worth the trip. Alexis spent the whole day with us. We started with mother/daughter makeovers, had family portraits taken with a beautiful mountain backdrop, and then Alexis spent several hours taking pictures of my daughter. Alexis focuses on female empowerment at her studio, and she spent time photographing my daughter not just in her grad dress, but dancing. The shots were diverse. Some looked like magazine shots, some like art pictures. I was amazed at the variety of photos to choose from. In the end, we decided on several photographs to hang on the wall, but also purchased a beautiful album of the shots we liked best. This was a lovely way to celebrate our daughter's entry into adulthood! Thanks, Alexis!

I hesitated for the longest time to invest in branding/headshot portraits for my business. I couldn’t be more content I took the leap and hired Alexis. She took the time to really get to know me and my business and bring my vision to reality. From the venue, outfits, makeup, hair, planning the shoot was effortless and stress free thanks to her attention to all the little details. During the shoot, Alexis made me feel comfortable and confident and gave me great cues to make sure my portraits were on point. When I received my photos, I was blown away. I felt Alexis truly captured me and provided me an amazing collection of branding photos. It gave me the confidence to pursue and grow my business. Having these photos has opened doors and made me feel like I can conquer anything. Thank you Alexis!

We had the pleasure of working with Alexis for a Photo shoot for our daughter. We will definitely be back to work with her again. Her studio is beautiful and she has so many creative ideas.
