Alexis McKeown Portrait Photography Studio - Canmore, Alberta

Lori M.

As I approached my 50th birthday I knew I wanted portraits done - both for the experience and to mark this time in my life.

I am lucky to know many skilled photographers, but I was hoping for an experience with someone I didn't know (as part of my 50for50 project). I'd expected to travel west for this BUT --> then I found Alexis! ✨

From start to finish Alexis has been amazing to work with... communicative, helpful, encouraging (most of us are nervous about stepping in front of the lens!), and FUN! So much of how she engages + shoots is in line with me and my philosophy, it was THE perfect gift to myself for this milestone.

We captured a bunch of looks, laughed, chatted, danced, and I am now the very proud owner of portraits that I will so happily hold onto, share, and pass down.

It's not every portrait photographer who can simultaneously capture 'you' while maintaining their own style... Alexis can and is gloriously able to make it a pleasure all the while!

Thanks, Alexis, for this epic 50th gift from me to me! ☺️

Warmest hugs for an experience that will always make me smile.

Alexis is not just the best photographer in the Bow Valley, but the best photographer I have ever worked with, period! I have to admit that getting new head shots is not at the top of my fun list of things to do, but Alexis put me at ease from the moment I walked into the studio. One of the nicest people I have ever met, an unbelievable talented photographer. I also want to give a big shout out to Sam (make-up) for being so great at her craft! What a team - I will be back for more!

I can’t recommend Alexis highly enough! Getting photographed is not my favorite thing. Alexis made it fun and easy, and did an incredible job capturing my profession photos. The package came with 3 and I ended up buying an additional 3 because I couldn’t choose! Turnaround time was excellent. The makeup artist that worked on my was also spectacular- came right to the studio which was great. Alexis and her team are pros and I highly recommend them!

I recently had a signature session with Alexis, and it was beyond what I thought it would be. Alexis makes you feel comfortable, confident and at easy during the whole processes. From the meet and greet before, planning the session, from outfits and looks, she provides insight and suggestions to get you excited for the session. From entering her divine studio on the day, to the make-up by the wonderful Sam, the whole experience was effortless, fun, and still feels like a dream. Seeing the final product, I was blown away. Thank you, Alexis, for letting me see myself with new eyes. It was just what I needed.

If you are looking for a photographer to update your professional portfolio, family, or photo’s too see yourself in new eyes, look no further. I cannot recommend Alexis enough.

I knew my session would turn out well, but the photos managed to exceed my expectation! I needed new acting headshots and knew what I wanted. I just didn't know how to get there. Alexis was able to take my jumble of wardrobe and accessories and put together several very specific character profiles. Her direction for posing took all of the guesswork out and added a relaxed flow to the session. I cannot recommend her enough!

I can't begin to say enough good things about my experience with Alexis McKeown.

She made the entire experience of getting professional photos taken enjoyable. From my initial inquiries to receiving final images, she was prompt, professional, warm, and efficient. Her attention to detail and follow up to inquiries and requests was exemplary and the final images were beautifully finished and of high quality, and delivered promptly. It was excellent value for money.

For anyone looking to hire a true professional photographer, whether for head shots, family, personal, or other photos, I strongly recommend securing Alexis.

Alexis was incredible to work with, and she provided a lovely environment that made me feel comfortable and beautiful in my skin. It was an experience I won't forget, and I will always cherish the photos we created together. They are timeless and classy, she is extremely talented.

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!
