alaska theatre of youth

this past few weeks i’ve been photographing the children at ATY – behind the scenes and during their performances. all images from these events can be found in this folder. the first shoot i did for them was midsummer’s night dream – the musical – for publicity in the local newspapers and i pretty much adore them.

totem pole carvers

i had the most excellent time shooting the totem pole carvers at alaska native heritage center last week. it was an amazing process to watch and i spent a lot of time (too much time?) talking with the extremely talented & kind master carver israel shotridge. all of the master carvers who were carving were amazing. i feel so special being able to be part of documenting this process. images here are of israel shotridge and bothers: joe and tj young. israel is carving eyak and tlingit house posts; joe and tj young are carving the haida house post.

boston terrier puppies!

jon and the girls brought all the boston terrier puppies over – their first car ride and their first new place to explore. they were super hyper and hard to photograph – they ran all over the studio and wouldn’t chill out. there are a few of the “ok” photos we ended up with.

ryan turns 33

we had a super fun time at ryan’s 33rd birthday party — of course it sounds like we left way too early because all the craziness happened after we left.

new toys

i finally treated myself to some new lights — three of them to be exact. i thought they would all be way too big to use in my studio, but they’re perfect. i might have been able to buy a few bigger ones too. oh, well, i’ll have to save that for the next time i go on a shopping spree for lights.

models: my daughters.

The Grands

Wee Grace’s grandparents came all the way to Alaska to visit her. These are a few of the fun shots taken a few weeks ago. Grandpa tried to make her smile but she was finished with the session and so he was swinging her around and have a ball with her. The end of the session ended with the families hair-line resemblances:)

Previous images of Grace can be found here, here, here and here.
