We recently had another round of our annual Beginner Workshop and WHAT. A. DAY. We loved getting to know so many ladies and gentlemen who share our same passion: the art of photography. It was a full day of instruction on topics such as camera functions, lighting, composition, capturing emotion, posing and directing, editing and […]

Relic Beginner Photography Workshop

In about a month Kile and I will have been married for 13 years. And we have never had couples photos. I know, I know. I’m a photographer. But the shoemaker never has shoes and apparently photographers are never in the photos themselves. So when an unexpected opportunity came up for us to spend a […]

I knew of Kelsie before I met her. She is famous in the area as a savvy business woman and I had seen her presence online so I immediately recognized her bright smile when I walked into her business establishment – Revive Day Spa in Wasilla. Within minutes of talking to her, one thing was […]

Relic Photographic Alaska State Fair Senior Portraits

Uncategorized

Once upon a time I posted on our Relic Photographic social media accounts that I reallllly wanted someone to book us for an Alaska State Fair session. Nina took the bait and set up her senior photos. It feels like every single time that we get a client that trusts us enough to flex and […]

Normally it takes the first part of a session to help people feel comfortable, praise and direct them into confidence photographically. But Mia and Eric came into the engagement session willing to wear their hearts on their sleeves […]

We grew up in the Mat-Su valley, so we have an extra soft spot for Hatcher Pass and love it when we get to photograph in our most sentimental, fav part of Alaska. It’s such a beautiful place with easy access to amazing views. One thing we have always loved (and also drives us crazy) […]

Maddox + Keza

One of my (Hanna) goals this season has been to make sure to carve out enough time to photograph my own family. The Relic schedule is NUTS in the summer and with a 9 person family…there is a lot going on. Sometimes in the height of busy season we all get a little lost in […]

Isabella wanted something a little different than the iconic but typical Alaska scenery for her senior photos. So, we shot in an outdoor museum stocked full of authentic Alaska vintage trains and locomotives and it did not disappoint!!! If you have followed us for any length of time, you know that we are color junkies […]
