AlexaArt is a creative venture founded in Chicago in 2007 by DS Alexa, a photography assistant with a passion for photography, creativity, and a heartfelt desire to make all things beautiful. After moving back to Ohio in 2009, AlexaArt officially began through the tiniest of baby steps, guided by faith, passion, God’s gift, and a vision to empower others through beauty, creativity, and meaningful visual storytelling.
What started as a small creative dream has grown into a long-standing photography, editorial, and empowerment brand. Over the years, AlexaArt has conducted well over 6,000 photography sessions, each one created as a unique and personalized experience for the client. From glamour and pinup to editorial, family, maternity, themed sessions, events, creative remakes, group shoots, publication work, and personal celebrations, AlexaArt has always been rooted in one purpose: to help people feel seen, confident, beautiful, supported, and unforgettable.
As a female-owned business, AlexaArt is proud to offer a professional, creative, relaxed, and high-quality experience. DS Alexa’s extensive background in the photography industry, combined with deep compassion, generosity, and care for others, has helped create photo-session experiences that are positive, empowering, and meaningful for many clients.
AlexaArt’s commitment to creativity and excellence has been recognized through media coverage, including television, radio, magazine publications, fashion events, music features, community projects, and international editorial opportunities. DS Alexa is honored to be a Press/Media Photographer for New York Fashion Week, an exciting milestone that reflects the continued growth of AlexaArt and its evolution into the editorial, fashion, and publication space.
AlexaArt has also been blessed to see its work reach international publication platforms through the beauty and continued modeling journey of Judyth Von. A special thank you to LOOKER Magazine in Milan, Italy, for featuring Judyth Von on the March 2026 cover of City Muse in the Wild. A heartfelt thank you to LUXIA Magazine in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for the honor of featuring Judyth Von on the March 2026 cover of Scarlet After Dark. AlexaArt is also pleased to share that Judyth Von was featured in Untamed Magazine, London, UK, in May 2026. These international features are a beautiful reminder that beauty, confidence, and creative expression have no age limit, no border, and no timeframe.
At its heart, AlexaArt believes beauty is more than appearance. Beauty is confidence. Beauty is soul. Beauty is the energy someone carries when they feel comfortable being who they truly are. One of the most beautiful things to witness is a strong woman rediscovering her worth, her voice, and her freedom.
For nearly two decades, AlexaArt Photography has had the privilege of photographing thousands of remarkable individuals, creating glamour and pinup portraits designed to make every client feel as though they belonged on the cover of a magazine.
From the very beginning, that was always the vision — to create images that captured confidence, beauty, personality, and timeless glamour.
Today, those portraits are entering a new era of creative expression.
AlexaArt Photography is proud to introduce House of Alexa: ReImagined Pinup Luxury.
House of Alexa is a modern editorial transformation of the portraits that helped define the AlexaArt era. Using advanced creative technology and luxury editorial design techniques, select portraits from past sessions can now be reimagined into high-fashion magazine artwork inspired by:
Classic Hollywood glamour
Vintage pinup iconography
Luxury fashion editorials
Cinematic portraiture
Timeless beauty campaigns
Each original photograph becomes the foundation for a new artistic interpretation, transforming your portrait into something worthy of a magazine feature.
Finished images are delivered as high-resolution editorial artwork and may also be considered for inclusion within the evolving concept of ALEXA Magazine — a luxury digital publication celebrating glamour, individuality, confidence, and timeless beauty.
For many years, the goal of every AlexaArt session was simple: to create portraits that looked as if they belonged on the cover of a magazine.
The House of Alexa — ReImagined Pinup Luxury Collection now brings that vision full circle, transforming classic AlexaArt portraits into modern editorial artwork while laying the creative foundation for the future of House of Alexa and ALEXA Magazine.
Clients revisit their original AlexaArt photo session archives. Selected images are chosen for transformation. AlexaArt then reimagines the portraits into luxury editorial artwork, and clients receive finished high-resolution images suitable for printing, sharing, or framing.
As AlexaArt continues to grow, the mission has expanded beyond photography alone. Today, it is evolving into a women’s empowerment and creative celebration brand — a space for women to feel supported, make friends, reconnect with themselves, share their stories, and celebrate the woman they are becoming.
Through photography, editorial artwork, group shoot celebrations, magazine-style features, fashion media opportunities, international publication recognition, and future empowerment experiences, AlexaArt and House of Alexa continue to create beauty with purpose.
Because when we empower, uplift, and support one another, we change the world — one image, one story, and one woman at a time.
AlexaArt is also excited to announce ALEXA PawParazzi, a special addition and monthly feature inside ALEXA Magazine, along with future special editions and brand extensions to be announced soon.
Beginning with the first issue launch on July 1, 2026, ALEXA PawParazzi will celebrate the beloved fur babies who bring joy, personality, charm, attitude, and unconditional love into our lives.
Each month, ALEXA PawParazzi will spotlight pets in a playful, celebrity-inspired way — because every pet deserves their own magazine moment.
ALEXA PawParazzi will include adorable pet portraits, glamorous pet features, “spotted out and about” celebrity-style write-ups, fun personality highlights, themed pet spotlights, and special issue features for dogs, cats, and other beloved companions.
From pampered pups to royal cats, silly sidekicks to glamorous little divas, ALEXA PawParazzi is where fur babies become the stars of the issue.
Submissions are not open just yet. When the time comes, AlexaArt will post an official submission announcement with details on how to submit pets for consideration.
Until then, start gathering your cutest, funniest, most glamorous, and most personality-filled pet photos — and be ready when the official call goes out.
Because in the world of ALEXA Magazine, the PawParazzi will be watching.

by DS Alexa
From the depths of debilitating migraines and chronic pain to a vibrant, purpose-filled life, Rooted in Relief shares the powerful personal journey of DS Alexa — a woman who reclaimed her health, spirit, and energy through plant-based living, divine guidance, and a renewed connection to healing.
After decades of struggling with migraines, chronic pain, food sensitivities, chemical additives, and the effects of processed foods, DS experienced a life-changing shift at age 51 through a new way of eating and living. This book is both a memoir and a gentle healing guide, offering encouragement for those seeking relief, clarity, energy, and hope.
Inside, readers will find practical steps to begin a plant-based experiment, nourishing food lists, healing habits, encouragement for detoxing the mind, body, and soul, and a spiritual message rooted in empowerment and divine connection.
As a Certified Angelic Healer and Spiritual Practitioner, DS Alexa also shares the deeper inspiration behind her healing artwork, created through divine guidance to support emotional and energetic restoration.
Rooted in Relief is a reminder that healing is not reserved for a select few. No matter your age, story, or starting point, you can feel better, live with more clarity, and begin again.
Your healing begins here.
