Hi we're

Alexa
& Nick

A little about us

On a normal day, you can find us & our kids exploring cute towns and street fairs, finding a cool new coffee shop or searching for the best bowl of ramen! Some days we're just cuddled up on the couch together bingeing a show or playing in the backyard.

We have a dream of starting a coffee truck someday & Nick is already roasting beans so we're halfway there! We're firm believers that a good cup of coffee can solve most problems. We even made a pour-over coffee together during our wedding ceremony!

The original paper cranes from Alexa & Nick's first date

Fun fact, on our first date we folded our tip money into paper cranes. And later on, Nick asked Alexa to be his girlfriend with a note written inside a paper crane. That's where our name & logo came from. Here's a pic of the OG cranes!

Filmmakers First

Our first love has always been filmmaking. We've worked on a ton of passion projects with film friends over the years and won some awards along the way. For bigger projects, we'd be on the camera team — Nick as director of photography and Alexa as the 1st assistant camera or vice versa. One of our favorite things about our experiences has been working together in a creative capacity. There's nothing like it and getting to create stories together will always be where our hearts are pulled.
