MOST AT HOME IN THE WILD

LOVER OF ALL CREATURES

Seeker of adventure

Always looking for magic in the light

I'm Alexandra

I'm a Canadian photographer based on Vancouver Island, drawn to wild places, natural light, love, and human connection.


I've always been someone who feels things deeply. I notice the little things — the way people reach for each other without thinking, the laughter between the poses, the wind in someone's hair, and the quiet moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.


That's what I love about photography.


I create photographs that feel alive — honest, intimate images that hold onto who you are, who you love, and what this season of your life felt like.


Wild Souls is the next chapter of a story that began with Riske Photography, built alongside my fiancé, Rob. The years we spent creating together helped shape the artist I am today, and he'll always be part of the story that brought me here.


When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me near the ocean with my dog, meditating, cooking, watching rom-coms with homemade popcorn, or planning my next adventure.


A hopeless romantic, a little wild, lover of all things woo woo :)

a little more about me...

MOST AT HOME IN THE WILD · LOVER OF ALL CREATURES · SEEKER OF ADVENTURE & light

I want you to see yourself in a photograph and think,

holy shit, that's me.


To see the beauty, the fire, the softness—the pieces of yourself that can be so easy to miss when you're living inside them every day.


Maybe it's “Holy shit, I'm gorgeous.”

Maybe it's “Holy shit, that's our love.”


That's the magic I'm always looking for.

THERE’S NOTHING FOR YOU TO DO BUT SHOW UP

I’ll guide you through the whole experience—from your breath all the way to the tips of your toes.

My hope is that you walk away feeling like the badass you are—more at home in your body, more aware of your beauty, and with photographs that celebrate whatever kind of love brought you here.
