Photography tends to revolve around the really big moments; senior portraits, engagement photos, wedding portraits,  maternity photos, the list goes on. It is a great responsibility and a true blessing to be able to experience life changing moments with the most wonderful people, especially when those moments are a secret. As a photographer, you not […]

All Alaskans know that spring here looks a little different than spring in the Lower 48 (known to non-Alaskan as the Contiguous United States). We don’t even really refer to it as Spring, the month of April is more often referred to as “Break Up Season”.

What makes a book a great book? I think most of us would agree it has to do with the element of surprise. All these compelling little moments that lead up to a big reveal. Love stories are “written” in a similar way.

Being a “Type A” personality I love the first of the year. To me, January is a huge sigh of relief and it’s not just because I get to toss my old scribbled in planner and pick up a crisp, clean, fresh new one (although that’s not exactly a negative either). I live for a […]

Deartest Alyssa,  Today is your WEDDING DAY. Can you believe it? There aren’t enough words to express my excitement for you and Dustin. There also aren’t words to express how excited I am to be attending a wedding instead of working it, so thank you for that. You stood by me at my wedding and […]
