Winter photographs in Anchorage

I love photographing with this family. I have been photographing them since their wedding day. Dad is now away at war so we decided to do a special session just for him since he will be away at Christmas. Anchorage, Alaska has been so incredibly beautiful with the heavy hoarfrost. Even though the temp has been hovering at a chilly 19 degrees above zero, it’s quite tolerable. Especially when the wind doesn’t blow. We started photographing indoors but soon set out for some fun and colourful photographs for poppa and it was a very special day for us all.

Then we decided to get out the sled. My handsome assistant, Andy, carried Troy and the sled.  Aleasha and I followed as he broke a trail for us in our backyard. I think we got some really fun photographs for poppa. Merry Christmas, Patrick. We certainly miss you.

And since little Troy is wearing an “argyle” sweater, I added a bit of nostalgia colour process to this last image. He is always such a happy little guy. Fun day.

Erica and Tomas

Yes, I know that I am really behind on blogging in Anchorage, Alaska town. But now that I am so backlogged – I have much to write about. That will keep me going all winter long! – since I love to blog.

So this sweet young couple are getting married next summer. I get to be their wedding photographer! We set out for engagement photos on a foggy, wet day this fall. As always, I had a blast with these two.  I just get the best clients who will go anywhere and have fun doing it. Enjoy! Your comments are always appreciated.

Now this below was probably my very favorite of the day!

Katie and David

This is Katie and David. They asked me to photograph them for their engagement photos here in Anchorage, Alaska. It was bloody cold that day at 3 degrees above zero but they wanted to photograph outdoors with some Alaskan mountains so that is what we did!  We spent our time in the snow then warmed up. We also brought the sled and then went to their favorite coffee house to warm up with espresso. Got some fun stuff. Enjoy! Thank you for stopping by.
