Alaska Portrait Photography

At Windswept Studio, I create, I create portraits that capture you — your personality, your story, your light — framed by the wild landscapes that make this place unforgettable.

Whether it's a soft, natural moment or a bold, dramatic portrait against Alaska's mountains, every session is designed to feel authentically you, and every image is crafted to become a piece of art you'll treasure for generations.

With two decades behind the camera, Christal blends gentle direction, thoughtful posing, and an eye for beautiful light to create images that feel effortless, elegant, and timeless.

THE EXPERIENCE

You don’t need to know how to pose or feel comfortable in front of a camera. I want the real you to come out.

Sessions can include:

  • Family Portraits - Genuine connection, beautifully preserved.

  • Senior Portraits - Bold, confident, and unique….just like you.

  • Weddings - Romantic and Wildly Alaskan.

  • Headshots and Branding- Professional, Polished, approachable.

  • Child Portraits - Relaxed, and fun!

I am passionate about creativity and craftsmanship. I design custom albums and curate your wall art so that your portraits become something tangible, beautiful, and lasting artwork.

Hello! I’m Christal.

What started as a love for photography more than two decades ago has grown into a passion for creating portraits that feel genuine, beautiful, and true to the person in front of my camera.

Living in Alaska gives us an incredible backdrop — from windswept riverbeds and mountain views to waterfalls and fields of fireweed. Every session is thoughtfully planned around your personality, style, and the places that feel like you.

My goal is simple: to help you feel comfortable, guide you through the process, and create timeless images that capture this season of your life exactly as you’ll want to remember it.
