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 and Service
I’m a proud mom to an awesome daughter and a dog that thinks licking is his love language. They keep my life busy, fun, and a little bit silly. We are pretty close and they are usually by my side.
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.
Sport and Adventure
When I'm not behind the camera or with the family, you'll often find me playing sports or cheering on my favorite teams. Hockey, Tennis and Golf are my personal favorites. I’m also an avid adventurer, so it’s not uncommon to find me exploring Arizona, looking for scenic photography spots or my new favorite hiking spot.
