ALEXANDRA PARADO

Branding photos by Nayronie Minier

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been the one with a camera in hand, quietly capturing the moments that become the memories we return to again and again. What started as a simple love for preserving time has become my creative outlet, a way to honor the beauty in both the big milestones and the everyday magic.

about me

By day, I’m a seasoned event professional in higher education. By heart, I’m a photographer who finds deep joy in connecting with people and telling their stories—visually, honestly, and with intention.

I believe there’s something sacred in documenting life as it is. Whether it’s your baby’s first smile, the way you look at your partner when you think no one’s watching, or the energy behind your brand’s journey—I’m here to frame it all with care.

I live in Trenton, New Jersey with my fiancé and our two cats. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m probably planning something fun (I love a good themed celebration), reading a book, or being a couch potato with my phone on do not disturb.

For me, film photography feels like opening a gift.

You don’t see the image right away, so there’s this beautiful anticipation in waiting to discover what you’ve captured. Each frame is intentional, each moment is chosen with care.

When I work with clients, I aim to bring that same intentionality, creating photographs that feel both deeply personal and beautifully unexpected.
