Brielle McKenna, new to Fairbanks, is a professionally trained makeup artist from Los Angeles, California. For 6 years she has worked in the entertainment industry on TV, Movie, Music Video, and Photography shoots, and is repeatedly requested for Wedding services. What does this mean for you?
We now have an experienced, talented makeup artist available to help you look your best in photos. Brielle works hands on with you and us and will provide you with the “celebrity treatment”. Photography makeup requires certain products and techniques, not something just anyone can provide. Here’s what makes her different from others:
Your foundation will be airbrushed. Airbrushing is a Pro technique that applies a thin but effective veil of foundation over the skin which provides hygienic, flawless, and naturally beautiful coverage. Color is custom mixed to match your exact tone.
She will be on-location which means your makeup will be done at the shoot and she will be available for touch ups and changes if needed.
Makeup used is only of the highest, photo-ready quality, which is best not only for you but for the way your photos will turn out. Inexperiance and using low end products can make the photographer’s job much more difficult.
Your makeup design is expertly tailored to enhance your features, tones, and the effect or idea you want for your photo. You don’t get the “same look” with the “same colors” as every other person that walks through the door.
You can find Brielle’s website here http://www.briellemckenna.com
Brielle has been doing a lot of makeup here over the past few weeks. Everyone loves her (not as much as we do!) and what she is able to do. We look forward to a long friendship and working relationship with her. Welcome to the family Bree!!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Every year we get into doing personal projects. Especially during winter. This year, we are doing something we have wanted to do for a long time! We have started our “Tattoo Chronicles”. This project does not have a time limit and we will continue it for sometime into the future. Basically, we want to showcase the art form of Tattooing in a sexy, edgy, modern kind of way. Mix our artistic style with another artistic style. So far, the 2 have blended well! As of now you can see images on our Facebook page but we will dedicate a section of our website to this soon!
We do also book sessions for this as well. “Tattoo Chronicles” sessions are limited because they are a free project that we do not charge for. We do them as we can. However, if you are proud of your ink, want to show it off and have creative, amazing artwork created by us……call us 
Either way, we are proud to announce to the world……

We find ourselves at the end of another month. Not sure where it went but I do know that we’ve had a lot of fun 
Everyone who lives here knows that September can be the best month. Amazing weather and beautiful colors top my list of favorites. However, September also means the end of summer. It’s a bitter sweet month! No matter what, we’ll be here. Hot, cold, wet or dry…..we love this place we call home
Below is a very small sample of what we’ve been doing lately. We have posted some new videos this month too. If you haven’t seen them yet….they are awesome and worth the few minutes to watch them!! You can see them here on our YouTube channel or by looking under this post on our blog!
Enjoy the photos and we look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Some folks just have the ability to be in front of a camera. Cloey, is one of them! She was a blast to photograph. Beyond the photography I always enjoy getting to know the person. Their interests, goals, ambitions, and desires. Cloey has a great outlook on life and has big plans to make this a better place. We wish her the best of luck.
Now, back to the session! Wade (Cloey’s Dad) shot all the video of this session with our little point and shoot! It’s really fun having everyone involved and he did a great job! Thanks, Wade!!
Enjoy the video and let us know what you think!!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

So, we have been having a blast around here! Location after location and creating amazing images. Luckily, we have been able to have Alana with us this summer and she has been creating lots of video during our sessions. In the end, you benefit! It’s a lot of fun to watch these videos
Now enjoy this video of Brayden and we’d love to hear any comments you have!!

About 2 years ago I was down at the shooting range. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big competitive handgun shooter. Rachel’s dad (Bob), comes down one evening and introduces me to his daughter, Rachel. We talk. We shoot. We go home. A week later I am back at the range and Bob drives up. He and his daughter get out of the truck. Me, being terrible at names, says “Hey bob”, “Hi Roxanne!”. She looked at me weird and says, “Hi Curtis!”. Since then we have been Roxanne and Curtis to each other. All of that to say that if you see any comments referring to ‘Curtis’ she is actually referring to me…..Chris
It has been a lot of fun but nowhere near as much fun as our photo shoot a few days ago! “Roxanne” was amazing and Bob was great to have there! He added a level of comfort and humor that was certainly welcome! All in all a great day.
Enjoy the photos and we look forward to any comments you have!!!

Hey there. I got up this morning and did the usual run through email, Facebook, returned messages, and then I realized…..I haven’t published any photos recently on the blog! I guess not everyone (not sure who!) has a facebook account. That seems to be where many of our images end up these days. So, all that being said, here are some images of our recent work! I’m off to do corporate headshots in the studio then back on location with a high school senior Love what we do!!!
Thanks for looking!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Many of you know that I was down in Cincinnati about a week ago. For those that didn’t know….. I was I made the trip down to take advantage of another photography learning experience. I’ve been doing this about 4 times a year. Not because I have lots of extra time and money but because we want to stay current with our techniques, abilities, equipment, trends, services and so on. That being said, we have also managed to work with, assist and shoot with some of the largest names in the industry. For example, in Cincinnati I worked with Joe Grimes, Lindsay Adler, Ed Pingol, Kevin Hudson, Dave Cross, Mark Fitzgibbons, and Dan McClanahan…. just to name a few! What does this mean for you? Well, I am pulling information, education and building my abilities (for you!) from some of the most amazing minds photography has! We have been inspired in ways we never imagined. We have also been fortunate enough to make many friends on our journey and are very thankful for them!
We expect this summer to be pretty amazing. We’re anxious to get things rolling. There’s a lot going on around here and you may even see some construction while you’re here. No worries though, it won’t interfere with any portraits efforts!! Frozen Image and My Diva Within are growing at an amazing rate and we need things around here to grow with them!
In the coming weeks the Class of 2012 will be receiving our annual mailing. We book our entire summer with high school seniors and love every minute of it! This year we are planning on doing a lot more location sessions! We can’t wait to see you all
For now, I have more work to do and it can’t get done with my fingers on this keyboard! Here are a few images I created while I was in Cincinnati. -Thanks again!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

There are many professions in this country. But, where else can you take someone that isn’t getting paid (the model) and say…. “I want you to dress like it’s summer, although it’s just above zero with wind chill (!), let someone you don’t know do your hair and makeup, drive 45 minutes out of town, walk through the hills past snow, ice, mud and photograph you while looking like it’s warm although you’re freezing?” Well, it happens here Regularly! Tawni, simply put, is amazing! Every time we call, she answers! We have an idea, she loves it! We say the sky is blue, she says it’s bright blue….. you get the idea All of this happened a few weeks ago and we put a shoot together. Cayla Socha agreed to do hair and makeup for us (awesome, thank you!). She even came on sight for touch ups! Our lovely new intern (Alana) came through to help us also! She was willing and able to shoot all the video once we hit the photo shoot. It was a great day. Cold on the ridge line but an awesome day! We really hope you enjoy this video. From start to finish it’s Frozen Image and how we do things! No limits. No boundaries. Unique. Creative. Enjoy the video!!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Allow us to introduce you to our 2011 summer Intern – Alana Whitener! She will be with us for 90 days this summer. Learning, assisting, lighting, posing, having fun and most importantly….. getting a few steps closer to her dream!
Tanja and I put a lot into our decision and we feel Alana is a perfect match for what we are trying to do. We want to take someone with basic photography skills and major passion, teach what we have spent thousands of dollars and most of our lives learning. We have been very fortunate to meet professional (and amazing!) photographers from all over the country. Photographers who have taken their time to answer questions, critique our work, help us with trouble areas and give us their support. I have spent time one on one with photographers that I’ve admired and been inspired by for years. This has been something we value… a lot! Now it’s time for that to come full circle. It’s our turn to help!
Our goal with this program is to give back to the photography community. Teach those who are young in their photography careers. Teach those that will carry the torch into the next generation. This Intern program is the beginning of our giving back.
Many people applied to become our Intern. We are flattered at how many applicants we had! We feel that says a lot about us. So, to everyone, thank you! Very much! Sadly, though, there can be only one at a time. The good news is the fact that we will continue this program into the future. Hopefully more than once a year! It will, however, happen every summer.
We are also entertaining a few more ideas and opportunities for everyone to benefit. We will continue to grow and learn which means we will always have new stuff to pass along. There will be more of that to come in the near future. See? Isn’t this exciting?
Alana will be given photo assignments on a regular basis to track her progress. All of these will be blogged as well so you can see too As techniques are taught we will provide her a model and the equipment and she gets to show off what she’s learned. Personally, I can wait for that! I can’t wait to see her progression.
So, Alana, welcome to the Frozen Image Photography family! We are incredibly excited to have you here and can’t wait to start this process and watch you grow! Be creative, be you, and have fun!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

I think it was about 18 months ago…maybe more, that I met Ryann. We did her high school senior portraits. Since then we have done 3 more shoots. All of which have produced amazing photos!! Ryann seems to feel right at home in front of the camera and is always great to work with. While she was just home on spring break from college we got together for another shoot. We drove into the hills on the outskirts of Fairbanks for a chilly afternoon. Despite temperatures in the 20′s, the ice, slippery boots, and deep snow….we had fun, and created some pretty cool images. Enjoy the video and I look forward to any comments you have!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Now’s your chance! We get dozens of phone calls a year asking if we do an internship. We have considered this for years and are really excited to offer this to some lucky individual! We want to pass along the knowledge that we have worked so hard to achieve. This is an incredibly important industry that we want to ensure has a future. That being said, we are happy to announce our new Intern Program. If you have an interest in photography this is not an opportunity that you want to miss! Here’s what we’re thinking……
Our initial internship will be July – September 2011. The commitment will be on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday every week. Note the word ‘commitment’. We want you to treat this like any other responsibility. If you agree to this we expect to see you on the agreed upon days and times. If you are still in school we understand that these dates will go into the start of school. It will become an afternoon program at that point. Something we can discuss later We chose these dates because we are extremely busy during this time and you will get to learn the most. Speaking of learning, what will you learn? Studio lighting and equipment, metering lights, natural light, mixing natural light with flash, posing, client interaction, advanced camera skills, how to use lighting modifiers (scrims, gobos, reflectors, umbrellas, soft boxes, grids, etc) and so much more. All of this education does have a trade off. There’s work involved. You will be assisting with every shoot. Setting up and moving lights, carrying equipment, metering lights, changing out backgrounds, helping clean up between sessions, etc. The best way to learn is to actually do it!
Why intern with Frozen Image? I’ve had a camera in my hand for at least 35 years. I started Frozen Image just over 10 years ago. We spend thousands every year on continued education. Our knowledge base grows on a regular basis as seen in our work. We have so much to pass along. If you haven’t seen our work, you can do so here: Our General Portrait site and our My Diva Within Boudoir site! Don’t forget to check the blogs on each site. That is where some of our most recent work will be.
Now, what you need to do is fill out THIS APPLICATION ……Soon! This application will be up for at least 2 weeks or until we receive the number of applicants we are looking for. I know you can’t wait to click the APPLICATION LINK so I will stop typing now
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

Last night Haley came in for a photo shoot so I could play with a few new ideas. It’s so awesome to have clients/friends that are willing to spend their time so I can play! Of course, she had fun too High School Seniors are in for a treat this year. We have developed a whole new (and fun!) skill set to create an amazing experience and produce images that will blow you away! As we mentioned before, video is also a new thing for us and we’re lovin it too. Get used to seeing videos like this We would love to have any thoughts you have about what you see here. Your feedback helps us grow!
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!

This past summer we had the pleasure of meeting Tawni when we photographed her senior portraits. Yesterday Tawni and her Mom came back in so we could practice some new looks. It’s safe to say things went well Although Tawni claimed to be a bit nervous about she did an amazing job. We got to play with a brand new light modifier (which rocks!!) and a new idea for a background. We already have another photo shoot planned for late spring/early summer. I can’t wait. Enjoy the video and the few photos below. Thanks again for looking!
