Hello! I’m Christal.

I am a headshot, wedding + elopement, and senior portrait photographer based in Palmer, Alaska. My passion for photography started in high school, where I took a film photography class and developed a love for the craft. With every opportunity, I continued to learn and develop my skills. Today, I call Palmer, Alaska, home with my family. We live on 5 acres with our teenagers, a small peony farm, and a handcrafted soap shop (www.twistedbirchsoaps.com).
