Hello, I'm Lexi
Photographer
I’m the photographer behind The Fifth Frame Photography, based in the beautiful Smoky Mountains.
Photography started as a way for me to capture the moments that mean the most, and it quickly became something I truly love. There’s something so special about freezing a moment in time, the laughs, the little details, the quiet moments, and the people you never want to forget.
I specialize in couples, families, elopements, and mountain sessions, with a focus on creating natural, romantic images that feel like you. Whether it’s an intimate elopement surrounded by the mountains, a couples session filled with laughter, or your family simply being yourselves, I want your photos to tell your story.
My goal isn't just to take pretty pictures. I want you to look back at your gallery years from now and remember exactly how you felt in that moment.
Your story deserves to be remembered. Let’s capture it together. 🤍

My approach
I believe the best photographs happen when you’re simply being yourselves.
My approach is relaxed, natural, and inspired by the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. I love using the mountains, winding roads, open fields, golden light, and quiet moments in nature to create images that feel warm, timeless, and true to your story.
I’ll give you guidance when you need it, but I’m not here to make every moment feel overly posed or staged. I want you to laugh, move, explore, and enjoy the people you’re with while I capture the little moments in between.
Whether we’re chasing mountain views, wandering through the trees, celebrating your love, or capturing your family just as they are, I want your session to feel like an experience, not a photoshoot.
My goal is to create honest, romantic, mountain-inspired imagery that brings you right back to how it felt to be there.
Because years from now, I want you to see your photos and remember the feeling—not just the pose.
