Got Questions?

I am located in Juneau, Alaska- the capitol city. However, I do travel regularly for work.

*NOTE: Alaska is HUGE! Think about Texas? You can fit two of Texas inside of Alaska! So, if you are coming to Alaska for your dream trip and want to be photographed, just know that I travel throughout Alaska but there is an additional travel fee if it is outside of Juneau. Another bit of random info: the only way to leave Juneau is on a boat or a plane.

You're in luck... I am connected with the best vendors in Southeast Alaska and I am happy to help you make all of your arrangements!

Does a duck have feathers? YES! 

I photograph up to a dozen weddings every year outside of Juneau and a similar amount of portrait sessions. I work most summers based in Southeast Alaska and Winters scattered all over the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest, with at least one trip to the East Coast for grins. I have regular clients in Santa Fe, Seattle, Denver & Washington DC and lots of lovely little towns in between. I do charge additional fees for travel depending on the location and the circumstances of the event.

I am a Nikon Girl!

I shoot mainly with a Nikon D4s and back up with both a Nikon D4 and a Nikon D3. I have lighting for the moments that require it and reflectors to make the most of the light nature has given (which is my absolute favorite way to roll). In my office- I am a hard-core MAC user and work mainly with Adobe editing software.

When the images are ready, I send an invitation to enjoy your gallery for the first time. My online gallery walks you through the process of choosing a print product collection to purchase and it's all taken care of right through your gallery! You will see images of all of my products right within my online store. Your order will be ready for delivery within 4 weeks of purchase! Easy-Peasy!

Short answer: YES, you get them!

Long-winded explanation: Our philosophy is that every client should have both digital files AND lovely wall art and/or albums to enjoy. For this reason, each of my portrait and wedding packages include both digital files and wall art or albums. When my clients spend the time and money to commission art of themselves and those they treasure, I believe those portraits should be displayed beautifully and in the highest quality possible. There is nothing so powerful as a wall gallery in a home that is filled with the love and rich emotion of true relationship.

One of the saddest things is for beautiful images to be stuck in hard-drive purgatory and then lost to technology failure. I cannot tell you how many tragic loss stories I have heard over the years. It's truly heartbreaking. Digital storage is NOT safe storage for art or your life. We agree, it's wonderful to have those images to showcase on social media which is why web-ready digital files come with every portrait session and wedding I offer and every wedding includes high resolution digital files with a print release up to an 8x10.

If I am photographing your wedding- it take 4-6 weeks to have your final image gallery sent to you but I will post sneak peeks to social media to tide you over! I know it's hard to wait! I also offer to expedite your editing to 2 weeks for a fee of $250.

If I am photographing portraits- it takes 3-4 weeks to have your final images gallery sent to you and often, I share a peek on social media.

Yes indeed! During or directly after your session, I will post an image or two on Instagram and Facebook. I frequently add your images to my latest blog post, as well. I love showing off my amazing clients but I also respect your privacy, should you choose to keep your portraits personal!

For weddings & elopements, we divide your total commissioned package into 3 payments; the 1st when you book your wedding, the 2nd 1/2 way between the wedding and the date you booked me, and the final payment is due 30 days before your wedding or elopement.

*I'm happy to customize this for you if you need something different. Just let me know.

I've so got you! I will send over a session prep guide with lots of ideas for what to wear! I'll send it over with your welcome email!

I have several amazing professional hair and makeup artists that I get the joy of working with. I can refer you to them or you can book a session that includes hair and makeup in the session fee!

I believe in taking what we are given and making it gorgeous! Some of my favorite shots are in weather that most people wouldn't have planned for. Of course, there are situations where it would make for a miserable experience and my gear could be damaged, so in those situations- we reschedule!

If it's a wedding day... I've so got you! I offer my couples the opportunity to do a 'rainbow' shoot on a day within 2 weeks of your wedding day, just for the bride and groom, if the weather made your portrait time a mess!
