Last spring The Baca’s flew me down to their home in Texas to make this Home Movie film. Up until this point, my Home Movie shoots had consisted primarily of shorter shoots with families. But the Baca’s had a vision for a complete day-in-the-life family session, from sun up to sun down. This project was […]
— Urban Engagement Photos I love shooting downtown. You may think it strange when we find ourselves surrounded by the most majestic sort of natural beauty here in Alaska. But I just can’t help the love affair I have with the urban landscape of downtown Anchorage. Most people would drive by and see an old […]
— A Powerful Day at the Studio Everyone comes into their boudoir shoot feeling differently. Some are nervous and some excited. It’s pretty cool though when someone comes in with a sense of power. I can’t speak for MacKenzie as to whether she consciously felt that on the day we shot together. But it was […]
I cannot say enough good about these two. They are the type of human beings who draw you into their orbit with a steady stream of warmth and goodwill. Amy is just about the most impressive person you will ever meet – though I’m dead certain she would never lead with that. A wicked smart […]
The Magic of Fall While summer remains the most popular time to the tie the knot in Alaska, I have a big ole crush on fall weddings. The air has that invigorating crisp and the leaves are just starting to turn. As the seasons change, night returns in the land of the midnight sun. I […]
Finding themselves in the middle of a covid-ridden world, these two opted for an epic alaskan elopement which included a helicopter ride out to a towering ice wall. Helicopter elopements with Alaska Helicopter Tours are always stunning, but this one in particular was just unbelievable. I have a special place in my heart for these […]
It’s That Time! It’s that time of year again! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and it’s time to take off all our clothes and romp through fields of wildflowers! Last year, I shot a handful of outdoor boudoir sessions for the first time and I just fell in love. The beauty of […]
People often ask me if I prefer to document weddings or just attend as a guest. The thing about documenting is that it allows me the opportunity to be a part of many moments I wouldn’t be privy as a guest. Making photos and films is such intimate and immersive work. Given the choice, I […]
Elizabeth and Jesse were one of my first couples to question how the pandemic might affect their wedding plans. In early spring of 2020, covid was so new to us all and no one could predict how long everything was going to last. As time went on, I watched (and endeavored to support) these two […]
— Winter Sessions There’s this strange thing that happens when I’m editing outdoor sessions. If it’s winter and I’m editing something I shot in the summer, I can almost feel the warmth on my skin just by watching the sun’s rays play back in a photo or video. It’s like I’m immediately transported to that […]
