studio wardrobe & styling
heirloom products and artwork
You want your children to know that they are deeply and truly loved, and somehow keep them little for just a little while longer.
Through albums and artwork, your pictures will become a part of your daily lives, bringing a smile every time you see them. Digital images give you the ease of printing, archiving, and sharing with loved ones near and far.
With over 14 years experience as a professional photographer, I've photographed hundreds of babies and families and have trained with some of the leading artists in the industry. You can relax during our session knowing that your little ones are cared for with the utmost patience and gentleness.
From wardrobe styling to heirloom products, every detail is taken care of, giving an unmatched experience and tucking away every moment and memory like the treasure it is.
creating beautiful artwork for your most heartfelt moments
There are so many details that go into a session, I do my best to take care of all of them so you can simply enjoy making these memories with your family. We'll chat before our session, going over all the details from location to wardrobe. We'll find out what you envision for our session together, and then I'll make it happen.
The Studio is located in East Anchorage, Alaska and is filled with beautiful light, minimalist styling, and everything we could possibly need for our session. The Wardrobe is available for your use, there's fun toys for the kiddos, a comfy couch, and lots of snacks and drinks so nobody gets hangry.
Outdoor sessions take place during the golden hours when the sunlight is just right. There are so many beautiful spots in Alaska, from Hatcher Pass and Fireweed Fields to Flattop Mountain and Beluga Point, and sessions can take place at one of many my favorite (very picturesque) locations or we'll go on an adventure together!
"We do not remember days, we remember moments"
maternity
The joy of motherhood begins long before you hold your little one for the first time. From the moment you first find out the good news, everything changes. This is a season that you will never forget but is often the one most overlooked. Maternity sessions ensure that you have this one beautiful moment to look back upon, where the shared love and anticipation is forever recorded.
We plan everything, taking care of all the details, ensuring that you look and feel absolutely radiant. The studio wardrobe is filled with gorgeous gowns and flattering outfits, ready to show off your baby bump to perfection.
Maternity Sessions take place towards the end of your pregnancy, usually 28-35 weeks.
Newborn
As one of the leading Anchorage and MatSu newborn photographers, I've photographed hundreds of babies over the last 14 years. And each one has been my favorite.
Newborn sessions are calm, relaxing, and focus on the tangible moments of new parenthood. When your little one is no longer little, you’re going to look back on these pictures and remember every moment and how you felt during this season of your life.
Sessions usually take place in the first 15 days after birth, when baby is oh-so-sleepy. But my natural, baby-led approach to photography allows us to capture newborn-style portraits up to eight weeks old.
milestone
They're only a baby for twelve months. And only a child for twelve years. It goes by all too quickly and each milestone, each stage, is worth saving. Through photography we document life's most treasured moments, record all the precious, overlooked details, and slow time down just a bit.
My Anchorage studio is designed with the child in mind. Soft blankets for cuddling and a bed to jump on (with mom & dad close at hand, of course), and the prettiest vintage high chair.
Or, let's go play outside! Children and babies are often happiest when outdoors and there are few things sweeter than a child dancing among wildflowers in the final golden light of the day.
Milestones are for ages 2mo+
Family
We take snapshots with our phones all the time but when was the last time the whole family was in the picture? Too often we'll realize that it's been years since we had a real family portrait- and everyone grew up when we weren't looking. No snapshot or selfie can replace a portrait of your whole family, aka the people you love most in the world.
While the occasional family session does take place in the studio, most of the time we are outside. An outdoor session instantly sets everyone at ease and allows us freedom to just relax and simply "be" - together.
We all want a family picture of everyone looking at the camera and smiling happily, but the really special ones are filled with big kisses, gleeful laughter, and bear hugs. And we'll capture all of it - each beautiful moment, and everything in between.
