Hello hello! I’m Raina— a photographer who believes photoshoots should feel more like a fun hangout than a chore. I have a soft spot for genuine smiles, collaboration and helping people actually enjoy having their photo taken.

If you’re new here (which is likely, since I completely just revamped my website) WELCOME! I specialize in portraits/branding sessions, real estate photos, and nature photography prints, all with a focus on making people feel comfortable, confident, and having fun along the way. Because if you cant have fun at work... welp, I don't know what that's like because I'm always having fun behind my camera. At this point you may be asking yourself "Why would I want to work with Raina?" Just kidding, we both know it sounds like working with me would be a total hoot and a half. But let's play that game anyways. Maybe you’re a small/local business owner who needs clean, on-brand imagery. Maybe you're someone who’s been putting off updating that old headshot from... I wont date you, but its been some time since you've last updated it. Or maybe you are a huge outdoor lover and want you a bit of natural beauty from the comfort of your couch. Whatever your reason for wanting new pictures, stick with me, I’m your gal.

What Working with Me Feels Like

I take my work seriously—but I take myself way less serious. Photoshoots with me are relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to you. My goal? To capture you looking and feeling your best, without all the awkwardness. You’ll get friendly guidance on how to pose without feeling like a statue, encouragement (and probably some bad jokes) plus a streamlined, low-stress experience from booking to delivery.

For Local Businesses & Professionals

If you’re a local business in Anchorage looking to refresh your visual branding, I get it—your time is precious and you need someone who gets the job done right the first time. I offer branding sessions that are fast, polished, and full of personality. We all need those scroll-stopping visuals to help you grab the attention and connect with your clients through authentic, high-quality imagery. Real estate agents, I’m looking at you too! Crisp, clean listing photos can make a world of difference (and I’ve got a drone for those aerial shots that seal the deal).

If You Love Nature Like I Do...

When I’m not behind the lens for clients, I’m out chasing wild light and landscapes. I sell fine art prints from my travels around the world—yep, around the world. Beautiful mountains in New Zealand, black sand beaches in Iceland, and yes, even Alaska’s rugged wilderness.

Ready When You Are

Whether you need headshots, personal branding, or sharp real estate photos, I’m here to make it easy—and dare I say, fun. Take a look around the site, check out the galleries, and when you’re ready, reach out or book a session here. I can’t wait to work with you!
