timeless Portrait photographer

Hi, I'm Alex. The face behind Purley Little by Alexandria Hinders. I'm a portrait and brand photographer based in Ames Iowa and I specialize in clean, organic, and timeless imagery. 

In addition to her photography work, I am a mother of two sweet girls through adoption. Though we've hunted down some baby photos of before they joined our family,  I now know first hand how truly important baby photos are.

Capturing the journey from pregnancy, to newborn through toddlerhood, Purely Little sessions take place in my in-home studio and are designed to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for both parents and children, with a focus on capturing natural, candid moments.

"We had the best experience when Alex took our photos! She brought calmness to the chaos of our young family and directed the session in a way that took all the pressure off. Alex captured the unique personalities of our kids and the in-between, candid moments that tell a story of our current season of life. Photos from our session are hanging all over my house, and I know they will forever be so special to us!"
