Portraits

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 […]

Home is Where the Heart is

November 30, 2021

Your daughter just crawled up on my lap and laid her head on the beat of my heart. ‘Auntie Hanna, do you have a baby sister like me,’ she asks? ‘Your mommy is my baby sister,’ I tell her. ‘I was your age when she was born.’ Her big blue eyes spark and she looks […]

Dear Sister

May 5, 2021

You have a bad rep. We have heard a million times that you are the problem with family photos: the stick-in-the-mud, the photo grinch who has to be bribed or forced against his will to don a starched shirt and bright smile. “I had to beg him for this session…” “He will be the most […]

So last […]

Relic Portrait Sessions

April 8, 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 […]

Learn to Love

April 5, 2021

About once per year we get to entertain our secret love of all things vintage. This venue might not be the iconic Alaskan scenery typically found in our images, but what it lacks in mountains or meadows it makes up in colorful nostalgia. The history of our great state is on full display in the […]

Alaska Nostalgia Sessions

April 5, 2021

CHOOSING YOUR COLOR // THE REALLY FUN part of planning your session is choosing your outfits and color scheme, but it can be daunting too! Clients often ask us what color to wear, and are concerned that they might not be great at piecing it together. You might feel the pressure because the truth is, […]
