Anchorage Alaska Family Travel Photographer | Seward Alaska

Seward! It is one of my absolute favorite places in Alaska. The ocean, the stunning mountain backdrop, the salty breeze. It all does wonders for my soul! The drive down is also gorgeous along the scenic Turnagain Arm and through the Pass. We spend a lot of time down that way during the summer. I was so excited when this family contacted me all the way from California to photograph their adorableness while they were staying in Seward.  Seward can be moody with grey skies but makes up for it in beauty and of course when we time it right we get the gorgeous fireweed with it <3

Anchorage Family Photographer | Matanuska Glacier Family Session

Happy Spring! March and April are some of my favorite month’s in Alaska! The sun is back and temps are warming up! It does make it hard to get really good, clean (not dirty snow) and not just brown scenery. However, Matanuska Glacier is the perfect backdrop for any season! It looks like a whole other world with the glaciers majestic features and blue ice! This family contacted me while visiting Alaska and asked if I would photograph them on a tour of the Glacier, yes-please-and absolutely! I LOVE photographing families with adventurous hearts and sharing my backyard and favorite places with them! I don’t take for granted what a beautiful state I am so fortunate to live in and the special families that I get to photograph 😀

Eagle River Alaska Family Photographer | Fun Winter Family Session

Winter in Alaska is stunningly beautiful. When I found out one of my sweet friends was moving I knew we needed a FUN winter session to celebrate winter and Alaska. She opted for a sledding adventure since that is one of her family’s favorite past times. We had hot cocoa in a thermos on stand by to help warm those tiny bodies, plenty of hand warmers, and tons of laughs. I absolutely love how this session turned out. When booking your session I am here to help you pick not only location, perfect time of day, wardrobe and styling tips, but help come up with fun session ideas. I don’t expect you, as a busy parent, to come up with all the details for your session. I am more than happy to help create a fun, relaxed, true to you photography experience <3

Lions, Tigers, and Toddlers oh my! Anchorage Fall Family Photographer

anchorage fall family

With fall here in Alaska that means that family portrait sessions are in full swing! I love this time of year and absolutely love capturing Alaska’s families in Anchorage’s stunning fall colors. I know one of the biggest concerns for all parents when they book a session is, “How will by child act?”.  Trust me when I say it is fine! I LOVE toddlers. The more personality the better! They aren’t misbehaving if they aren’t cooperating. Through all my sessions I try and do a mix of posed and candid shots. I know you need that shot that goes on the holiday card or the one that grandma wants with everyone’s smiling faces. I totally get that! I also try to capture the essence of their personality in THIS stage in their quickly growing life and in THIS stage of your quickly changing seasons! So if they give me a grumpy face, totally fine! I will also get the naughty smirk, the belly laugh, the hands as they hold treasures they have discovered, and those tiny feet as they explore new things. I will get an unruly lock of hair and that endearing dimple. I also have many many many other tricks up my sleeve 😉 Moods for toddlers change quickly so I truly am not bothered by the occasional tantrum or defiant stare. I know that it will pass and we will find something they will be interested in soon. I always recommend lots of snacks, because lets face it, we all get hangry and snacks are never not a good idea 😉 I am working on a new family prep guide that will help guide you and prepare you for your session, with things you CAN control. However, when it comes to your child or toddler and you are worrying if they are going to cooperate, trust me when I say we got this. Their personality is what I want to see and I want to capture them exploring and playing and doing the things that all toddlers and kids love to do. More importantly please don’t miss out on this amazing time to photograph your kiddo’s. This is a short season and quickly it will change too.

Happy Fall! Anchorage Child and Family Photographer

I LOVE meeting people. I enjoy making connections and meeting random people whenever/wherever. It is one of the reasons why I LOVE owning my photography business. I get to meet sooooooo many new people and connect with them over their kiddos and families. I am good at chatting on the phone/texting and especially in person face to face conversation. Here’s a little secret though, I am NOT so good at online social media or blogging! GAH! It is such a critical part of my business and such a wonderful opportunity to connect and share with a much wider audience, but I freeze. I stare blankly at my screen.  There are so many bloggers and writer friends that I admire! So I have been challenged to blog for 30 days to help me get over my fears. To help me get the words out of my brain, off my tongue, and into my writing! September is a perfect time since I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall. There shouldn’t be a shortage of sharing or blog topics! So here we go! 30 days of blogging or bust!
