Alex Bolen         Since I have done all older photographers so far, I decided to do a more modern and current photographer. Alex Bolen, owner of Shutter Darlings Photography is one my favorite photoragpers right now. She went to the same high school as me about 5 years before I did. She cheered and would come back to take pictures of the cheerleaders which is how I met her. Her work is so dreamy and always so creative which is why I love it. She got a few minutes in fame for a rainbow baby picture she created. I was in love with this picture.

She likes to shoot alone in her studio where she takes on many rolls like photographer, director, subject, and make up artist. She is still currently creating work to keep up with her reputation.

She has many great characteristics to look up to.
