Turn Your Southeast Alaska Cruise Stop in Ketchikan Into a Keepsake Memory
Capture your dream trip with a personalized photo session in the heart of Southeast Alaska.
Stopping in Ketchikan on your cruise? Don’t just take photos—be in them!
Cruising through Southeast Alaska is an unforgettable experience—and Ketchikan is often one of the most scenic and charming ports along the way. Misty Fjords, lush forests, totem poles, colorful boardwalks, and wildlife around every bend—it’s no wonder this stop feels like stepping into another world.
You’ll take in the beauty, no doubt. But what if you could take part of it home in a more meaningful way?
A keepsake photo session with a local Ketchikan photographer lets you preserve this moment with stunning images of you and your people, surrounded by the incredible Alaskan scenery.
Why book a photo session in Ketchikan during your cruise?
Most travelers walk away from Alaska with hundreds of photos—of mountains, whales, and waterfalls. But very few come home with beautiful, intentional portraits of themselves soaking in the experience.
Booking a session with a local vacation photographer in Ketchikan gives you:
Professional photos in one of Southeast Alaska’s most photogenic towns
A relaxed, guided experience (so no one has to “figure it out” on the spot)
The chance to actually be in the photos—not just behind the camera
A special way to celebrate a milestone trip, anniversary, or family getaway
