About Wild Iris Photography
Wild Iris Photography is a modern portrait studio in Juneau, Alaska. Combining fashion and nature to create magazine-worthy photos of everyday women, while helping them discover their inner and outer beauty.
Lush
Lush like the Tongass National Forest, Wild Iris images are created from start to finish to be abundant in color and rich with emotion.
Wild
Inspired by the Pacific Northwest in all its moody beauty, most sessions take place in nature. If you love the wind in your hair, the smell of the ocean, and the sounds of the forest, you've come to the right place. Wild souls are welcome here.
Free
I believe in pushing expectations aside and being your most authentic self. Whether you're a first-time single mother about to embark on life's greatest adventure, or a breast cancer survivor looking to capture the beauty of your own body, I will help you plan the perfect session.
About Your Photographer
Hey There! I'm Sierra.
Have you ever been at a job interview or on a date and they say "so tell me about yourself", and then all of a sudden you have no idea who you are? Well, that's kind of what it's like writing an "About Me" page, but here goes nothin'.
My name is Sierra, I'm a mother, wife, creator and dream-chaser. On your average day, you can find me in yoga pants, drinking too much coffee, hair in a bun, head in the clouds, juggling a million things at once. I have a toddler, a six-year-old, and a puppy. Our house is loud, messy, chaotic, and full of love. I have a degree in Anthropology and I thought I was going to be a museum curator. I can still spend hours in museums learning about different cultures and admiring old artifacts.
I am a published photographer specializing in female portraits with an editorial flare. I believe every woman of every age, size, sexuality and nationality is beautiful and powerful in her own unique way and I love that my job lets me bring that out through my photos.
