ALASKA DOG PHOTOGRAPHER

THE JOURNEY PHOTOGRAPHY - CRIS SKINNER

Based in Wasilla, Alaska. Proudly serving Wasilla, Palmer, Anchorage, Eagle River and surrounding areas

There are no barriers to the heart of a dog: Their love traverses Alaska’s wide-open landscapes, from the rugged peaks of Denali to the swift rivers of the Mat-Su Valley. Our goal as an Alaska 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 immerse themselves in the wonders only the Alaskan wild can provide. Whether they’re exploring the mountains near Anchorage, racing across snowy fields in Palmer, or splashing through bedrock creeks in Wasilla, every experience is thoughtfully brought to life in a single frame.

Our proficiency lies in capturing your playful pup’s boisterous energy within a portrait. We’ve mastered the art of honoring those intense, emotional moments in a single frame — those treasurable moments no one ever wants to forget.

We specialize in authentic dog photography, honoring the divine spark that shines in your dog’s eyes. And when family steps into the frame, we capture that connection just as thoughtfully. Throughout your Journey with us, we preserve the timeless devotion shared between a dog and their person. No meaningful moment is overlooked — each one is carefully treasured and beautifully brought to life.

Alaska offers unmatched backdrops for photography. From miles of towering mountainous regions and labyrinths of scenic rivers used as décor in each composition, there’s nowhere else on God’s green Earth that gives off such a harmonious vibe that can pulsate through a portrait — and no one captures it quite like Cris, a dog photographer in Alaska. Regardless if it’s fresh dew resting on the crisp summer grass or mounds of freshly fallen snow for your pet to plow through, the glimmering moisture casting light off its fur like an intimate impression of the aurora borealis, The Journey Photography brings beauty and emotion to every shot.

They say that every composition tells a tale. And they’re right. Every photo is a story waiting to be told.

It’s not just photography, it’s a Journey unlike any other.

CRAFTING UNIQUE, MAJESTIC IMAGERY OF THE DOGS OF ALASKA

Based in Wasilla, Alaska. Serving Wasilla, Palmer, Eagle River, Anchorage and surrounding areas.

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.
