About me

Hello friend, I am Danika Stiles.

Shortly after graduating high school, I found myself feeling lost and uncertain about my future. I didn’t have a clear direction, and I often struggled with the sense that I wasn’t particularly good at anything—I never really fit into sports or other typical paths. That changed the moment I picked up a camera. Almost instantly, I felt a deep sense of purpose and clarity; I knew right then that photography was what I was meant to do. My passion drove me to immerse myself fully, and within my first year, I completed over 100 photo shoots. In December 2024, I took the next step in turning my passion into a profession by obtaining my business license and officially forming my LLC.

I’m proudly based in the heart of Anchor Point, Alaska, on the breathtaking Kenai Peninsula—a place that continues to inspire my work every day. While Anchor Point is home, I also travel for photography, bringing my passion and creative vision to clients beyond Alaska.

I believe what sets me apart as a photographer is the unique journey I’ve taken—starting at such a young age allowed me to grow quickly and absorb a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience from other photographers early on. This foundation has shaped me into a more creative and intentional artist. Photography, for me, is not just a hobby—it’s a form of art and expression. I approach every session with purpose and passion, focused on capturing not just the big moments, but all the subtle, meaningful details that tell a deeper story.
