About Us

Welcome!  Thank you for stopping by and taking a moment to get to know us.  We are Rebecca and Marco.  Together (with our staff) we are Gutierrez Photography. We believe that photographs are important. They are a gift we give to our future selves and family. Photographs become part of a family’s history. They are among the few things most of us own that are truly irreplaceable once lost. Although that sounds pretty serious, and we take our craft seriously, most folks tell us we’re kind of fun. We…

…love being photographers, enjoy meeting people and making new friends.

…both received cameras as gifts around the age of 10.  It was coincidence and not a part of a major conspiracy, but they got us started.

…met through an improbable sequence of events at Fort Benning, Georgia in September 1984.

…married three months after our first date. We were an Army family for 21 years.

…are best friends even though our spouse can be a dork sometimes.

…love to travel (Korea, Japan, Antigua, Bahamas, Canada, Italy, France, and Switzerland so far)

…are a Coke family, Pepsi is just not an option.

…are not real fond of goofy, trendy fads.

…are always eager to tell you more of our life story, but you’ll have to sit and visit with us in our studio to get all the details.

Haley The Sarcastic One

Haley  joined the studio in January 2025, she’s the newbie.She graduated from college in Chicago, then immediately fled back to Alaska—because who needs traffic when you can have moose and mountains? Haley first picked up a camera in 2013 and has been glued to it ever since.  These days, she runs our social media, edits photos, and photoshoots!

Ally (The Packaging Department)

Ally is a client who became a member of the team in October of 2018! She is the studio assistant manager, from shooting for the studio to editing photos, she does a bit of everything here. This military kid picked up a camera in 2016 and found her passion for photography from there. This graduate from UAA is often found running and driving around chasing after sunsets in her off time. She has quite the taste in music as it spans across multiple genres.

Ray (The Bubble Letter Expert)

Ray has been with the studio since 2022! They do a little bit of everything at the studio, from editing to going on photoshoots! Maybe you’ll catch them doing a little dance on your shoot as they wait for another task. When their day is done, Ray unwinds by playing video games, baking, or playing guitar. Some of their favourite things besides photography are Dinosaurs, anything and everything outer space, picking up cool looking rocks like an Otter, and listening to classic rock music!
