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.

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 […]
