Hi, I'm Alexa Mazzarello.


I am a Canadian photographer and artist based in Ottawa, Canada. I specialize in portrait, documentary, and editorial photography. I have a background in gender equality and a Masters in Public Health. My work is primarily concerned with centering the voices and stories of women.


Since becoming a mother myself in 2021 I began photographing families, kids, and parents in the Ottawa/Gatineau region. I work both in studio (located in my backyard) and outdoors.


Currently, I am a member of 44.4 Mother/Artist Collective. I also run Gallery Nine Four Two, a community space for artist-mothers in the Ottawa/Gatineau region. To learn more about my personal work, art practice, and editorial work please visit www.alexamazzarello.com.

Testimonials

Working with Alexa was incredible! She is so warm, kind and passionate, and she made me feel very comfortable while she took our portraits. The photos she captures are really more than just a photo- she captures the raw emotion, and her photos speak a thousand words. Alexa’s photos really are a work of art (and you don’t see that a lot these days).

I am blown away by the portraits she captured, and I am super grateful to have these memories frozen in time.

We had the best family session with Alexa! Not only is she the most wonderful person to work with, she is also unbelievably talented. Our photos turned out incredible - so natural and artistic. She somehow managed to capture the true spirit of our daughter … which is no easy feat. I will forever be grateful for the pictures Alexa captured for us. Thank you SO much for our family session, the photos are incredible and we will cherish them forever.
