Portraits Rooted in Nature & Connection

Whether it’s an intimate wedding in Alaska, a family session among the fireweed in Fairbanks, or a maternity session in the quiet of the northern landscape, my work is rooted in capturing your connection to each other and the wild places that surround you — creating images that feel timeless and true to your story

FAIRBANKS ALASKA PHOTOGRAPHER
Couples and families • Serving Denali and Interior Alaska • Fine art prints

I am a Fairbanks Alaska photographer serving Denali and the Interior. I photograph couples and families and I take on a small number of intimate weddings and elopements each year. I hold a BFA in photography, and years of landscape work taught me to read light and honor place. I create photographs that feel calm and natural in the moment and beautiful on your walls, and I offer fine art prints so the Alaska you love can live at home with you.

Sessions are relaxed and guided. We choose locations that fit the season and your story, from Creamer’s Field in Fairbanks to the foothills near Denali. I help with timing and outfits, I offer simple prompts, and I give room for real connection. You receive a thoughtful mix of close moments and wider frames so your people and the landscape live in the same story.

My work has traveled as far as Rome, but my favorite stories are right here at home. If you would like to know how I met my husband in Alaska and why I believe photographs should feel like home, read my story.
