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 😀

Lego Magic

Hello and welcome to my blog! My oldest daughter and I recently were in Barnes and Noble and stumbled on this book, LEGO in Focus, http://bit.ly/3TNEfTa . She was excited and when I said I was grabbing it for the studio she insisted we bring it home instead. I may need another for the studio lol!  She was inspired. The next day we pulled out one of my favorite sets, Scooby! We took our favorites Scooby, Shaggy, and what Scooby scene would be complete without a swamp monster, outside and set them up in a variety of ways. Our favorite being the partially thawed planter that created the perfect swamp scene. It was magical to spend some time with her and encourage her inspiration! As we head into these winter months and we start slowing down more it is the perfect time to foster the imagination and spend some time being inspired! If you try this please show us! It’s easy to do with the phone as well and play around with different perspectives!

Here’s a few of our favorites as well as a behind the scenes. We played around with a forest scene as well as creating some fog. But seriously I encourage you try this indoor or out! So fun!

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

IMPRESSIONS FROM MARCH & APRIL 2021 : A PERSONAL PROJECT | ANCHORAGE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2021 is just flying by! We enjoyed an amazing ski and snowboarding season and just as spring was starting to emerge we went on a few hiking adventures! In March I had a session at the Matanuska Glacier and it was AMAZING! I had so much fun photographing a family exploring the colors and features! It is definitely on my must do for next winter again! Snow was stubborn and persistent so we went to the Nature Center and saw the swans had migrated in! Such a spectacular sight amongst all the snow! We also went to one of our favorite waterfalls and it was still frozen but some water was starting to open up. The girls absolutely loved being close to the waterfall. Since the water was still super clear I was able to practice my underwater shots! We kicked off April with our first camping trip and though things were still pretty dead they were beautiful <3 We are jumping right into camping season and I look forward to a summer full of adventures!

Impressions’ is a creative project by an eclectic group of female photographers from around the globe. Every other month, we share a selection of images that tell the story of what inspired us in the previous weeks. We are free to explore the meaning of ‘impressions’, and it is likely to change month to month.

Head on over to see what adventures Natalie has been on!

Impressions from November and December 2020 : a personal project

Hello and wooooo for saying goodbye to 2020 and kicking off 2021! This year was a whirlwind for my business as we kept adapting to new Covid mandates and restrictions. What I am grateful for is the time that I have been able to spend with my girls! I am grateful for the restart of these blog posts! I have missed them!

I photographed some amazing knit items from my friend Aimee at JACK of all crochets.So I loved getting the girls out and playing during the process. Plus the girls got new coats so it was an easy sell for them 😉
