THE JOURNEY PHOTOGRAPHY - CRIS SKINNER

ALASKA DOG PHOTOGRAPHER

There are no barriers to the heart of a dog: Their love traverses expansive stretches of wide-open spaces; their devotion lunges into cold, rapid waters; their affection scales the highest peaks of Denali. Our goal as a dog photographer is that every photograph we acquire is a testament to a dog’s grace.

At the Journey Photography, we capture the most magical moments of your dog as they latch onto the wonders that only the wild can provide. As your dog gets lost in the moment, plunging through bedrock creeks, streaking through the perennial grasses, and leaping after majestic butterflies, we’ll ensure every experience is brought to life in a still.

Our proficiency resides with seizing your playful pup’s boisterous activities inside a portrait. We’ve mastered the art of landing those intense, emotional instances in a picture. We excel at snaring those treasurable occasions that nobody wishes to miss.

Throughout your Journey with us, we’ll secure a copy of all those divine sparkles that illuminate from your dog’s eyes; we’ll hook every reverent, timeless expression of commitment shared between a dog and its person. You’ll never miss those significant souvenirs because we’ll be there to safeguard those shots.

And Alaska boasts miles of towering mountainous regions and labyrinths of scenic rivers to utilize as décor in each composition, so there’s nowhere else on God’s green Earth that gives off such a rugged, harmonious vibe that can pulsate through a portrait.

Regardless if it’s fresh dew resting on the crisp summer grass or mounds of virgin snow for your pet to plow through, the glimmering moisture casting light off its fur like an intimate impression of the aurora borealis, every Journey is a distinct, enticing escapade to demonstrate your dog’s excitement.

They say that every composition tells a tale. And they’re right. So we make certain each story is caught on camera.

In the end, it’s a Journey unlike any other.

PAWS FOR PRAISE

I have had the pleasure of working with The Journey Photography by Cris many times over the last several years for each and all my dogs. Cris’ photos are extraordinary! She is creative, unique and captures not just an image, but the personality and soul of her subjects. She is equally adept at capturing still or action shots, indoor or outdoor shoots, and always ensures the very best outcomes. Cris is easy to work with and her love for photography and for the dogs shines through. Her patience working with her subjects is phenomenal and she goes above and beyond to provide a stunning product that captures memories for a lifetime.

I have worked with Cris at The Journey Photography multiple times over the years. From action shots while at hunt test, to puppy photo shoots, and even in heart wrenching moments where she captured memories of my beloved faithful companions when it was unsure if they were going to make the next day. I treasure each and every photo Cris has taken because she has been able to truly capture the essence of what my beloved companions are to me and shows their unique personalities. They say the eyes are the window to the soul and Cris captures every loving gaze, curious look, happy expression. She is a stunning photographer and an amazing person who takes pride in her beautiful work! I plan to work with Cris for many years to come.

Cris was such a professional to work with! She took the most amazing photos of our 3 German Shepherds. Not to mention the stunning engagement shots she got for our son and his fiancé. Such a blast to work with!

I highly recommend Cris Skinner and The Journey Photos. She’s an amazing photographer, patient and easygoing when working with clients. Cris did a photo shoot of my eight-week-old labrador puppies and they turned out AMAZING! She was so creative with the angles and lighting… I couldn’t have asked for better pictures of my babies!

Cris did a wonderful job with our indoor photo shoot. It was a challenge to work inside with an energetic pup, and she was very patient and accommodating for all of my ideas. The results were wonderful! These are still my favorite shots of Lacy.
