Alexa Jackson
Blue Mountains Photographer & Multi-passionate Entrepreneur
I’m a personal branding and family photographer, and social media strategist in the Blue Mountains, Collingwood and surrounding areas. I love being a part of this beautiful community and getting to work with others who live here too!
It might seem surprising to know that my background is actually in healthcare. I have been a Registered Dietitian for almost 2 decades! In 2021, I decided to leave my 9-5 and become an entrepreneur, first starting my nutrition coaching business, then shortly after becoming a social media marketing strategist as well. It was while creating content for my clients that I discovered my love for photography. I have always loved taking photos, especially of my family and my kids, but having this creative opportunity really opened my eyes to the passion I have for photographing people. Since then I have honed my skills, and am now currently enrolled in the Sandra Coan Photography Certification program.
Funny enough, it is my work as a Dietitian that has been one of the biggest assets to my work as a photographer. Not only has it influenced the way I communicate and work with my clients, but it has also given me a deeper, more compassionate understanding of how individuals feel about themselves and their bodies when I take their photos.

My approach
Having your photos taken should be as easy and stress-free as possible. My priority is to provide an experience that is well organized and where the information you need has been communicated. From getting ready and planning your outfit, to giving your posing direction, you will feel supported during our photo sessions.
As a mom of 2 young girls, I know you want remember every precious moment and milestone! Life is busy enough as it is. My job as a family photographer is to capture your memories and create beautiful images that you can cherish for years to come.
My Philosophy
My goal is to create confidence by helping you be yourself! I know not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, both kids and adults alike. I aim to provide a relaxed, playful and supportive environment, both in studio and on location for our sessions.
My Signature Style
Bright & Airy
Simple backdrops and true to colour images are my favourite. I love the beautiful way these settings let the subjects stand out and be the focus of the image.
Confident & Carefree
Although I do include posing as part of my photoshoot process, I equally try to stay camera ready to catch those perfect candid moments as you move about in your own way.
Connection
That’s what life’s all about, isn’t it? This is why I love taking photos of people! My goals is to create that feeling of connection with the image and the individual.
