Rachel + Kate | Skagway, AK

Rachel + Kate | Skagway, AK I’ve known Kate for a few years now. When living in Skagway, I photographed the special people in her life and have seen her in a few relationships. But it wasn’t until meeting Rachel that I saw her really light up with that young-love kind of glow. It was…

A Skagway Fourth

If there is ever a place you wish to visit for an extraordinary Fourth of July experience, make it Skagway. The day is filled with parades, hot dog and pie eating contests, arm wrestling, slow bike races, ducky derbies, dancing, music and the list goes on and on. But for those of you who can’t…

    We were in town for a family wedding in June and decided to extend our trip to include the 4th. Sooooo glad we did! What a great and festive vibe. You captured just what remember of the day and with a great eye. Awesome work! You and your camera performed admirably! What were you shooting with, if you don't mind saying?ReplyCancel

    Thanks so much, Joel! So glad that you were able to stay through the fourth. It is quite an experience. So glad you liked the photos. As for my camera, I shoot with a Canon Mark 5D ii. I'm pretty sure all of these photos were shot with my 70-200 lens. Thanks for looking!ReplyCancel

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Living in Alaska presents this Floridian with many new experiences and indeed some challenges. I’m sure it’s hard for many of you to imagine how small my town really is.

Sunday Funday, Skagway Style

Growing up, I hated Sundays. It was the last day of the weekend and the last day to finish homework. These days, it may just be my favorite day of the week. It’s my gym-free day, laze-around-the-TV day, cook-some-yummy-food day and rest-for-one-more-day day. What’s not to love? In Skagway, Sundays are quiet. Smoke filters out…

Winter Wonderland

While we have yet to see any snow in town, there is plenty just 15 minutes away. It is a complete winter wonderland. U.S customs is about nine miles away, and just past customs lies what we call “the pass.” It’s basically the summit of a mountain, and it is beautiful!! But it gets extremely…
