Welcome!

Welcome!

With over 10 years of experience as a professional photographer, I’m an expert at capturing candid smiles and I know all the great spots for epic backgrounds.

I’m proud to be a part of Alaska’s small-business economy as a licensed and insured entrepenuer. I am also a life-long student, and am always improving my knowledge and skills to better serve you.

If you think I might be the photographer for you, don't hesitate to reach out. I hope to see you in front of my lens soon, so I can capture your story! – Jenna

There’s no greater honor than photographing anothe There’s no greater honor than photographing another photographer. 🖤

Ashley of @sagexiron flew all the way from Ohio to photograph a wedding in Alaska. But she wanted a little something for herself while here: anniversary photos with her hubby in the mountains.

Lucky for both of us, we connected online before her trip and worked out a plan to swap services!

✨ A moody couples session for her
✨ A branding session for me

It was a perfect match. I’m still giddy over the images I created for them, and I’m obsessed with my new headshots, as evidenced by my profile pic!

Ashley, thank you for trusting me with your memories and for making me feel so at ease on the other side of the camera. 😉

After more than 15 years of sessions, I know for s After more than 15 years of sessions, I know for sure that more poses = more value for you. ✨

That’s why I recommend different groupings at every session to ensure your gallery has a variety of options:
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Everybody together 
👫 Siblings 
🌟 Each kiddo solo 
💛 Each parent with the kids 
❤️ Mom and Dad as a couple 

Each grouping provides more chances to catch everyone’s best expression, plus the perfect photo for every wall in your house.

Then message me to schedule your session!

At the end of every family session, I like to snea At the end of every family session, I like to sneak in a few shots of the parents together because I know it’s not often that they get a nice photo together without the kids.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sometimes the kiddos stick around to make their parents laugh, or if their attention span is spent we let them explore nearby. Either way, I know both the parents and children will be glad to have these images years from now as they celebrate anniversaries and other milestones.
Want the secret to coordinating outfits for your s Want the secret to coordinating outfits for your session?

Select one outfit and pull from its colors to guide the rest. This family is a great example! Little sister’s dress has green, orange, and cream in the print, which provide the color palette for the rest of the family. Each person has at least one of those colors in their outfit, which visually coordinates everyone.

If you’re still unsure, don’t hesitate to shoot me a few cell phone photos of the options so I can give feedback on how the colors look together and whether they work for your portraits.

POV: You wanted your Alaskan portraits at a waterf POV: You wanted your Alaskan portraits at a waterfall and found a photographer who knew the perfect 📸 spot. 

This sweet couple wanted a waterfall location that fit their travel itinerary, and I had the perfect suggestion that was on the route to their next adventure and saved them an hours-long detour. That’s the benefit of working with a local photographer who knows the hidden gems and can recommend locations based on:
🍂 Season

✨ Vibe

🚗 Convenience

♿ Mobility needs

I’ll even send you example galleries of each location so you can see it in real photos and make your final pick with confidence. That’s just one of the many ways I ensure clients have a great experience working with me.

Message me to chat about locations that would be a great fit for you! 💌
The best compliment you can give a photographer is The best compliment you can give a photographer is trusting them with your memories again and again. 🤍

I first photographed this young man’s family in 2018. Since then, I’ve documented the extended family on both sides, his dad’s military retirement, his sister’s and cousins’ senior portraits, and now his own senior portraits.

Like most teen boys he wasn’t super excited about being the focus of a session, but because he’s been in front of my lens for years, he knew what to expect which allowed him to relax and be himself. That’s the quiet value of a long-term relationship with your photographer.

And when the next milestone comes, you don’t have to go searching for someone new. You already have someone who knows your people, your humor, and what matters most to you. 📷
Behind every photographer is a partner who knows “ Behind every photographer is a partner who knows “just one more” means at least another 20 minutes…both at a session and while editing!🙃

Which is why my hubby knows to add a buffer to the time ⏰ I estimate I’ll be home from a session.

I’m so grateful for all of you who trust me with your memories and allow me to make a living capturing moments like these!
What if instead of just frolicking around a pretty What if instead of just frolicking around a pretty location I recommend, we plan your couples session around an activity you and your partner love doing together? 📸✨

🌊 A swim at the lake
🧺 A truck-bed picnic with all your favorite snacks
🏍️ 4-wheeling or horseback riding on your go-to trail
🍦 Enjoying an ice cream treat at your fave local spot
✈️ Even flying out somewhere (if one of you is a pilot!)

Let’s make it fun, authentic and YOU! I’ll capture all the adorable moments while we’re at it.

Beyond the furniture, rugs, and throws I source fo Beyond the furniture, rugs, and throws I source for studio setups while scrolling Marketplace and thrifting, I’m always watching for those special items that will make a session extra fun. 

While the thrill of the find is addictive, the best part is imagining the memories each piece will be part of. Birthdays, holidays, senior year, new babies, milestones I haven’t even dreamed up yet. That’s what keeps me 🔎 Marketplace and 🛻 to the thrift shop, just to browse.

These are just some of the treasures I’ve scored for my prop inventory, which is included in my session rates. No upcharges, no “prop fees” — just another way I aim to make your experience with me a little more special. 💜

Drop an emoji to say which is your favorite or something I should be watching for!
