From family portraits to the wilds of Alaska, I photograph the moments that remind us how deeply we belong to this world.
Week 4 – Rain, Tides, and a Muddy Surprise
A rainy morning turned Alaska into watercolor — soft mist, grazing bears, shifting tides, and one muddy moment I’ll never forget.
Week 3 – First Flight, First Bear
Day One at Silver Salmon Creek started with a quiet bush plane flight, new faces who quickly felt familiar, and my first real step into photographing Alaska’s coastal brown bears.
Week 2: Why Alaska?
When an unexpected opportunity opened on a photography tour to Alaska, Danielle Buoncristiani followed her long-held dream north. In Week 2 of Seen in My Lens: Alaska, she shares how a client-turned-friend, helped nudge her toward photographing brown bears—and how it all connects back to the sense of belonging she’s always found in family portraits.
