Aleks is a completely self-taught photographer, specializing in portrait and wedding photography, where her gift for putting subjects at ease in front of the camera shines through in her work. Her passion for visual storytelling began at 13 when her interest in capturing portraits of friends and family blossomed into a passion for documenting all of life's adventures! She believes that photography is something no one should take for granted. A beautiful portrait of you is going to be priceless to your family one day!

Aleks is also a long-time health and fitness enthusiast, who started working out and pursuing a healthy lifestyle at the age of 16. Even at a young age, she knew the importance of moving your body and nourishing it with wholesome food. Her thirst for knowledge, interest in spirituality, and living a more mindful life led her to learn more about meditation, and most recently, completing her 100hr Meditation Teacher Training in Toronto.

Traveling to over 40 countries, Aleks' adventures around the world sparked an idea - to host health and wellness retreats in beautiful locations! It didn't take long for Aleks and Tanja to combine their passions and make it into something truly unique. Love Yourself Yoga and Wellness Retreats are retreats for women who are looking to reset and recharge, deepen their yoga and meditation practice, kick-start a healthy lifestyle, and learn how to feel good about themselves, inside and out. These retreats are meant to bring like-minded women together, to learn new things, and to empower one another, in beautiful and inspiring settings.
