Lifestyle Family
In-home fresh baby sessions will always be one of my favorites. This session was done when Lucy Jane was about a week and a half old - and these images will last a lifetime.
This fall session will always be one of my favorites. We lucked out with pure blue skies and THAT MOON...I mean, are you kidding me?!? Add in some serious family sweetness, and it couldn't have been better if we'd tried.
An early summer at-home family session for the books. I can't believe this was a whole year ago!

It doesn't get better than family maternity sessions.
A day-in-the-life style session with the beautiful Thompson family.
I gift all of my birth story clients a maternity session - so that we get to spend a little time together with a camera in the room before mama is in labor. :) Really, it's a great chance to get to know one another a little more, meet the entire family if we didn't already meet at our initial consult, PLUS we get to document that famed glow of pregnancy.
This session is a great example - maternity sessions with older-siblings-to-be involved are always the most fun, and with a mama as radiant as this and that Alaskan summer sun, it's simply magic.
Be sure to surf the blog to see the birth story associated with this beautiful bump. I'll link it once it's up - The Birth of Wyatt.
I think the word I'm searching for to describe this session is "epic"... wouldn't you agree?
Alaskan summers + sweet families - the best.
A few scenes from this sweet golden hour session at the very turn of the season from spring to summer.
The day after they brought Woods home. Settling in together as a new family of four, soaking in all the baby sweetness, big sister's curious and adoring gazes...this is why I love Fresh 48 sessions.
Amy has long been one of my favorite local artists (Amy Komar Art) - I love how original and fueled by passion her work is. In addition to her invaluable contribution to the Fairbanks art scene, she's a pretty rad woman and an amazing mama to boot.
This shoot was actually several years in the making - we first talked about it aaaages ago, before our now-two-year-olds were even a thing. :) It took us a while to actually make it happen, but perhaps it was fated - because I just love the blend of lifestyle family and editorial/commercial photography that we got from this shoot. We needed to stock her website, and they were also long overdue for family photos... two birds, one stone. As Amy noted, she does her work at home, surrounded by her family, and her husband and daughter are both participants in the process - from Lola's help selecting the perfect Katchemak Bay stones, to the frames Matt builds to house each of Amy's wall art pieces. It was important to her that we capture something that LOOKED like her actual process - her actual life, workspace, surroundings, and inspirations.
This is some of what we came up with. Love.
