Between the two of us, we have 10 kiddos and countless other nieces and nephews. Suffice to say: we are pretty experienced with photographing children at this point. Over the years we have learned that the most difficult part of getting amazing photos with kids, is actually educating the parents! We get it, clients are […]

Passion Over Pinterest

In our years as Relic we have had many opportunities to work alongside so many talented vendors and among them, florists are particularly special because, well, flowers. Flowers bring the romance, the color, the detail, the delicacy…and our photos respond in the most beautiful ways. We HIGHLY recommend adding some floral components to your sessions […]

We live in a crazy, frozen wasteland more than half of the year and have some of the harshest climates to contend with. Just a month ago we were hunkering down from the January storm that boasted 120 mph gusts of bitter wind. Before that, a couple feet of snow. And before that? -20 degrees! […]

Winter Sessions

It is probably fair to say that 95% of our photography takes place outside. We live in Alaska, after all. She is the most beautiful backdrop; she is brilliant and wondrous and awe-inspiring. But even so, there is something pretty magical that happens when we step back from her every once in awhile and draw […]

It’s a tried and true recipe. Anyone that knows us for real knows that we are a quirky duo. We […]

#Photographerfails

April 12, 2021

We just got another call from a beautiful woman who cancelled her session. She didn’t make it to her goal weight. She just couldn’t face the camera. This is the the track that repeats year after year, the broken record we have memorized. Just a friendly reminder to all the hot mess mama’s out there: We […]

CHOOSING YOUR COLOR // THE REALLY FUN part of planning your session is choosing your outfits and color scheme, but it can be daunting too!

Planning Your Session: COLOR

February 16, 2021

Our Grandma had mountains of photos. Some hung in the hall on rickety frames. Others filled albums lined up neatly on the bookshelf. I wonder how many childhood hours we spent pouring through the imagery, identifying our own merry faces, digging our heels into roots, reading the tall tales of our lives in pictures? It’s […]
