MEET YOUR

PHOTOGRAPHER

i'm diane, an Anchorage based senior photographer

I'm chasing life and all of its experiences. I've moved 17 times, held countless professions ​(paralegal, bookkeeper, contractor, chef, driving instructor...), lived in a camper for 6 months and traveled the country, went skydiving in California, swimming with wild dolphins off the coast of Hawaii, had a wolf as a pet (I don't recommend).

The one constant through all of this, the photos. They tell a story of a life in its fullest, and I don't regret a single one of them (except maybe the skydiving photos where cheeks are stretched in the wind like I'm trying to eat a leaf blower, lol).

 

I want you to look at your senior portraits years from now and transport back to your senior year, to the time you were goofing off and caught a cheeto on fire in the science lab, or that clicky clacky sound of the econ teacher with a fake leg he would throw at the class when he was mad (did I have a weird high school experience?) Sleepovers and mindless drives with your friends, prom dresses, band concerts, the energy of the crowd at a Friday night football game. High school is magic. You are magic.

I've been married for 18 years to a man that is the epitome of a dad joke (is it weird I dig this?) We have 5 kids, a dog, and 3 cats all named October (they're all black and I like to tease people and say we only have one cat, you're seeing double).

We are a snowboarding family. I taught all my kids to board, and when I'm not working you can find us at the hill. My youngest qualified for USASA Nationals in Colorado this year!

I went to college in California for Music Theory. It was my dream to be a band teacher, until I spent a semester with 6th grade band students!

On weekends I moonlighted as the lead guitarist in a girl's punk band: The Tattooed Love Dolls.
