Alexandra Tremaine is a lifestyle photographer based in the outskirts of New York City. Since a young age, Alexandra has appreciated the way light can dramatically alter a scene. In high school, she picked up her first film camera and she was hooked. She loved learning about light, testing it, and seeing what the world looked like through the lens. She enrolled and completed her education at the Brooks Institute for Professional Photography with an emphasis in Advertising.

To Alexandra, capturing a child is capturing their spirit. Sometimes that means being a fly on the wall, while other times it means rolling her sleeves up and playing with them. Whatever the scene calls for, Alexandra’s gift with children is evident both on the actual shoot and through the final photographs she captures. She delivers a beautiful and organic photograph with raw emotion, embodying the lifestyle feel.

Alexandra’s credo: “Capturing the world in a simple, yet beautiful way.”

While photographing kids, Ralph really is interested in the true nature of the human being and the young character.

"Most often we see these superficial pictures of kids and teens in unreal surroundings. I try to get closer to them, try to see them as personalities in their own right. That’s why I love to take these straight portraits of kids and teens, because it is so honest and true. Their eyes are like windows to their soul and there is nothing they will hide from you, when you have their trust.“
