Made in Alaska

Rooted in Anchorage.

Four seasons, four kinds of beautiful.

We'll help you choose the light, the location and the time of year that fits your family, from midnight-sun summers to snow-bright winters.

April – May

Spring green-up

Fresh birch leaves, soft skies and rushing creeks. A quiet, uncrowded time for maternity and family sessions.

Fireweed and wild grasses glowing in low evening sun beside a lake

June – August

Midnight sun

Golden hour stretches for hours. Evening sessions glow, and fireweed paints the trails pink.

Late Aug – Sept

Birch gold

The most-requested season of all. The leaves turn for just a few short weeks, so book early.

Cozy layers, snow-bright light and short, sweet sessions. Holiday cards, sorted.
