Allison’s Spring College Graduation Session at the University of Alaska Anchorage

Photography, Portraits, Senior

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”.
