photographer based in anchorage, ak

Capturing the perfect moment through a photograph has always brought me great joy. I have a keen eye for utilizing the wilds of Alaska for natural and stunning backgrounds.

  • Kota took my engagement photos and she is absolutely amazing. She has the best personality and makes you feel so comfortable during photos. We went to a glacier for our photos and the pictures were stunning. Kota has a talent for taking photos. I highly recommend going with her for anything if you want to absolutely love your photos.

  • Kota is literally the sweetest human. She made us feel so comfortable during our first couples shoot. It felt like we made a new friend by the end of our photoshoot. The pictures came back quickly and they were absolutely stunning! Kota went above and beyond in every way. We can’t wait to use her again!

  • Can’t recommend Kota highly enough. She made me and my fiancé feel so comfortable and at ease. She was clear about what she wanted us to do, but was also open to suggestions on what things were important to us. The photos turned out better than we could’ve hoped for too! Thanks Kota!

  • An all around wonderful experience! Dakota was very flexible and accommodated to what worked with our schedule. She was super easy to work with and made the photos go very smooth with a kid! Her end products are amazing and so is her editing style. She sent us sneak peaks within an HOUR after our session and gave us over 100 edited photos within a week or two! I 100% reccomened getting your photos done with her, you will not be disappointed!
