Hello! I'm Shauna Alaska, a portrait photographer based in the vibrant city of Phoenix, Arizona. My journey into photography is a story of passion, exploration, and a deep love for capturing the essence of human connection.
From Hospitality to Capturing Authentic Moments
I began my career in the hospitality and tourism industry, a path that taught me the profound importance of creating high-quality experiences for others. This foundation has been instrumental in shaping the way I approach my work as a photographer. This is a big part of why I understand that every session is more than just a photo shoot; it's an experience that should be enjoyable, memorable, and tailored to each unique client.
Family, Adventure, and Service
On a personal note, I am a devoted family lady with one beautiful daughter and a lovable dog. They are my world and the source of much of my inspiration. Also, when I'm not behind the camera you'll often find me exploring new places. As an avid adventurer, I’m always seeking out new experiences and the beauty that this world has to offer.
Community service is another pillar of my life. As a person of faith and action, I believe in giving back and making a difference. Service is at my core, and it influences everything I do, both personally and professionally.
A Love for Laughter
One thing you should know about me is that I love to laugh. Comedy is my go-to, whether I'm watching a stand-up special or listening to a hilarious podcast. I believe that laughter is one of the purest forms of joy, and I bring this sense of fun and light-heartedness into my sessions. It helps my clients feel at ease, allowing their true selves to shine through in every photograph.
