Big smiles, bear hugs, and a little bit of chaos - capturing the magic of your family!
Karen Travers Studios is a newborn, milestone and family photographer in the Anchorage, Alaska area, with a studio in Chugiak, Alaska.
I want to capture the chaos, the giggles, and the ‘everyone just smile!’ moments of family life—without the stress, the awkward poses, or the bribery (okay, maybe just a little bribery). I make photos fun, natural, and actually frame-worthy, so you’ll have memories you want to show off—not just stash in a digital graveyard.
You enjoy the moment, I’ll handle the magic.
I'm so happy to meet you!
hi, I'm karen.
Let's chat!
I'm your friendly neighborhood baby-chaser, memory-maker, and professional confetti wrangler. If you've ever tried to get a toddler to sit still for a photoshoot, you know it's basically a contact sport. Lucky for you, that's my happy place. With a camera in one hand, and a confetti cannon in the other, I specialize in turning pure chaos into magical, joy-filled images you'll treasure forever.
Whether we're dancing to baby shark in the studio, or I'm playing peek-a-boo behind the camera, I'm here to make your photo session feel less like a chore, and more like a really fun hangout that ends with beautiful, heartfelt images that you'll want on every wall of your home.
When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me sipping cold coffee (thanks kids), dreaming up new cake smash themes, or rearranging the props in my studio like I'm on an HGTV show no one asked for.

"Karen is absolutely fabulous! She took her time with my family and I to get the best shots. She was very patient with my baby girl so she could get the shots I requested. The atmosphere she created was very warm and inviting. On top of that the quality of her work was superb."

I’ve used Karen for photos since 2019. She’s captured many wonderful milestones from newborn photos to yearly holiday photos. She’s a joy to work with, and is always accommodating. Extremely responsive to any questions, and will help bring your photo vision to life. Her 1st bday cake smash designs are serious works of art. She is gentle, kind and patient with children, and has a magic touch with babies! Her photos are gorgeous! Definitely a great option when needing a photographer in the Anchorage area!
