BEHIND THE LENS

about

The ways I spend my time, what I believe, and just a few of my favourite things.

Alix

Political science major turned photographer, living in downtown Toronto with my husband.

Born and raised in this great city.

Creating timeless, honest images that will last a lifetime is my mission.

I believe laughter is the key to life.

Let's grab a coffee, talk about what makes you unique, and plan how to create beauty together.

lead photographer

After finishing my degree in political science at the University of Toronto, I dabbled in a number of different careers; journalism, fitness instructor, web editor, you name it. After travelling a bunch, I found myself in New York City, shooting head shots for actors and performers.

Upon returning to my hometown Toronto, I combined my passion for photography with my life-long desire to start a business, and founded Alixandra Gould Photography in 2012.

I self-taught my way from semi-professional to professional, doing mostly portraits, then transitioning to weddings and lifestyle. Now, I get to spend my days (and often nights) doing something that continues to challenge and inspire me.

My favourite things

Lazy mornings, coffee breaks, cozy nights, and moments that feel like they go on forever.

I believe in

Adventure is the cure for anything that ails you, but it's somehow also true that there's no place like home with the one you love.

NEXT SET

Well, I skip it sometimes, let's be real. But when I do grab my mat and head to class, I'm all in. There's nothing like deep breaths and back bends to make me feel like myself.

01. I NEVER SKIP

YOGA

I mean really, it goes with everything. It's classic black leather, chic, and will never go out of style. Not to mention, it was 50% off ;)

02. love my

KATE SPADE PURSE

I've never turned one down, like, in my entire life. I'm partial to red velvet, chocolate, carrot and anything with cream cheese frosting.

03. Guilty pleasure is

CUPCAKES

They transform any space from bland to oh so cozy and inviting.

04. ADDICTED TO

SOY CANDLES

Give me a good Australian Shiraz, French Sauvignon Blanc, or California Cabernet and I'm a happy girl.

05. LIFE IS BETTER WITH

GOOD WINE

PREVIOUS SET

That scent is like walking into a 16th century home in the highlands where the hearth is ablaze and the wind is sweeping past.

06. my FAVE scent

Sandalwood

I could honestly eat about 12 in one sitting. But I don't.

07. gimme all those

MACARONS

It opens your mind and your heart, teaches you more than you could ever learn in any classroom, and fosters a deep sense of appreciation and gratituse for this beautiful world, and your place in it.

08. I LOVE

TRAVEL

I won't always tell you what you want to hear, but I'll always be honest.

09. I am known for

HONESTY

Life has its ups and downs. It may challenge me, test me, and give me great blessings. But the one thing it will never be, is boring.
