Driving the Alaska Highway - {Our Move: Alaska to Italy}

Driving the Alaska Highway - {Our Move: Alaska to Italy}

Total Miles: 5,234 Day 1: Eielson AFB to Haines Junction Odometer: 87933 Miles Driven: 479 So on June 28th, 2017 we left our home for the past 3 years and 7 months! We woke up at 4:15am and left at 5:45am. Within the first 40 minutes Leighlyn got carsick and I remember thinking “what in the world did we get ourselves into?!” She had never gotten carsick before so it was definitely not expected! As I’m writing this we’re on day 4 and it hasn’t happened again. At around 7am w

Edyn Grace - {7 Months Old}

As a lot of you know, we just started our move from Alaska to Italy. Our movers packed up our stuff about two weeks ago and we've been in temporary housing since. We will be on the road the day Edyn actually turns 7 months so my good friend (and fellow photographer) Moriah let me use her in-home studio! It was absolutely perfect and if you're in Fairbanks or the surrounding area and looking for a photographer, check her out at Moriah Ray Photography! Anyways, I can't believ

Jacob Patrick 8 Days Old This family was so fun to capture! Big brother was such a ham and loved being in front of the camera! I was originally supposed to photograph this beautiful family for their maternity photos, but Jacob decided he needed to come a little earlier than planned so I got to meet all four at the same time haha. I loved getting to know them and am honored to have gotten to capture them with their newest addition! #LifestyleNewbornPhotography #NewbornPhotog

Leighlyn Rose is Two! - {Lifestyle Birthday Session}

It was really hard for me to figure out how I wanted to do Leighlyn's 2 year old photos. The snow is over 3 feet deep and it has been super cold lately (today being -34), so doing them outside was out of the question. I really had to rack my brain because I don't have a studio or any indoor place to do pictures. My other challenge was the fact that she's turning two (if you have a toddler, you know what I mean hahaha). One night I had this idea to take her to a cafe or cof

- Everleigh Jo - 6 Days Old All of my sessions are special in some way, but this one was different from others. This daddy was going to be deploying only a couple of weeks after his wife had their baby girl. I haven't been through a deployment with my husband yet, but I can't imagine going through one after just having a baby! It takes a special kind of strong to be able to do that. I'm so glad I was able to photograph this beautiful family of three before he leaves to serv

You may recognize these faces from a few weeks back! This beautiful couple finally had their adorable baby boy and I am so excited that I got the chance to meet him and photograph the three of them before they leave Alaska! We even got to sneak a few photos of them in some matching Christmas pajamas at the end of our session! It was the cutest thing ever. #Newborn #LifestyleNewborn #Photography #Baby #BabyBoy #FamilyofThree #Family #Love #FirstBaby #ChristmasPajamas #Alaska

Brayden Lee - {A Birth Story}

Brayden Lee McCoy Born October 30th, 2016 @ 1:06 AM 8lbs 4.4 oz. and 20 Inches Around 6:00AM on October 29th, I got the text that Annika was definitely in the early stages of labor. At 41Weeks and 1 Day, she and her husband were so ready to meet their precious baby boy! I arrived at the hospital at 12:05PM and Annika was around 2cm and having contractions every 2 minutes. The hospital didn't admit her right away so we hung out in the waiting room. At 3pm Annika had reached

The Reval's were an amazingly sweet couple and I am so excited for them to have their baby in a few weeks! Being pregnant with your first baby is just such an exciting time and these photos definitely captured that! I enjoyed getting to know them and listening to their love story and at 31 weeks, this mamma was just stunning! #Maternity #FallMaternity #Love #FirstBaby #FamilyofThree #Photography #MaternityPhotography #Alaska

This was my last fall family session of the year and it was a blast! I absolutely love repeat clients, especially when they have babies that I photographed as newborns! It is so fun to see the changes that have taken place in the time that I haven't seen them. Keep scrolling to see more of this sweet family's session! #Family #FamilyofThree #Alaska #Fairbanks #EielsonAFB #FamilyPhotography #FamilyPhotos #Love #BabyBoy #Mom #Dad #Motherhood #Fatherhood #Baby

Dan & Alexis - {Engagement Session}

Most of my sessions involve babies in some way, but something else I absolutely love shooting are engagement sessions. The excitement of an upcoming wedding and the start of a new adventure as a married couple is just so fun to be able to capture. It was a gorgeous evening for a session and these two were so easy going, it was an all around awesome time! #Couple #Fairbanks #Alaska #Photography #Engagement #EngagementSession #Engaged #Love #Couples #BirchHill #BirchTrees #Al

Another sweet sweet family I had the privilege to photograph this fall! One aspect of family minis that I just really love is meeting so many different people! This family was absolutely beautiful and so easy going, we definitely clicked and can we just talk about their son?! Oh my goodness he was such a ham! You're definitely going to wanna look at this whole blog because there was a lot of cuteness going on! #Family #Alaska #Fall #AlaskanFall #Love #FamilyofThree #BabyBoy

Austin & Annika - {Maternity Session}

This session was oh so awesome. First of all, this couple is incredibly sweet and secondly, Annika's baby bump is the cutest! I loved working with them and the excitement they share for the arrival of their baby boy is so evident when you're around them. This was also another session that the mosquitoes were terrible (you wouldn't believe how many I had to edit out), but these two still rocked it! I can't wait to meet their little man in a few weeks! Side note: Annika is a Lu

One thing about the Alaskan Summers that I (and probably everyone else) hates is the mosquitos! They are absolutely TERRIBLE here. This family and I were swarmed during our session together, but they still totally rocked it. They were incredibly sweet and I really enjoyed meeting and photographing them! Here's a few from their session! #Family #MiniSession #FamilyMiniSession #FamilyofFour #Brothers #Husband #Wife #Love #FamilyPhotography #FamilySession #Alaska #Fall #BirchTr

Driving the Glen Allen & Hiking the Matanuska Glacier! - {Living in AK}

On Tuesday August 9th, 2016, we woke up early and started our journey to Anchorage. We've been to Anchorage at least 5 times, BUT have never taken the Glen Allen highway and had heard it was beautiful. So that's what we did and it was beautiful indeed. Alaska never ceases to amaze my husband and I with it's vastness, stunning views, and majestic mountains. I never feel that my photographs do the state justice. But anyways, we stopped at a couple of spots to admire the vie

-Livia Jo- 7 Days Old Every time I have a newborn session it gets me so excited for when my newest arrival comes, especially when they are as sweet as little miss Livia! She was so perfect during the whole session! I had so much fun photographing her and her big sister as well as her parents. They are a beautiful family and I am so glad I had the opportunity to capture some sweet moments with their new addition. #Newborn #NewbornSession #LifestylePhotographer #Lifestyle #Pho

And then there were three! I love doing Pregnancy Announcements. It is so fun to capture the love, joy and excitement that comes with being newly pregnant, especially when it is a couple's first baby! I'm so thrilled for this beautiful couple, they are going to be amazing parents! #PregnancyAnnouncement #Pregnancy #Love #Couple #Fairbanks #NorthPole #Alaska #Photography #FairbanksPhotographer #MaternityPhotographer #FamilyofThree

A little while ago I got to take this beautiful mamma's maternity photos, and then the Lifestyle Newborn photos! I was so excited when she asked me to take their family photos this summer when the whole family was together. They are super adorable (as you can see) and I just love them! #FamilyMiniSession #Family #Fairbanks #Alaska #AlaskaSummer #BotanicalGardens #Gardens #Love #Baby #Motherhood #Fatherhood #Brother #LittleSister #BigSister

The one thing I love about offering Family Mini's is that I get to meet so many different people! Laura is a fellow photographer in the Fairbanks area and when she contacted me I was surprised because she is just so awesome at what she does! It can be nerve wracking photographing another photographer, but Laura and her family made it so easy. They were super sweet and I loved capturing their love for one another! #Family #FamilyofThree #MilitaryFamily #Fairbanks #Alaska #Bota
