GET TO KNOW ME! BEHIND THE LENS


Hi there! I’m Dana (Pronounced Donna), and I’m so excited to share about myself with you. Whether you’re here because you’re looking for a photographer, seeking inspiration, or just curious about the person behind the lens, welcome!



My Journey to Photography


Photography has always been more than just a job for me—it’s a way to connect with people and tell their stories authentically and meaningfully. My journey began with a love for capturing small, everyday moments, and over time, it grew into a passion for documenting life’s biggest celebrations. There’s something magical about freezing time in a single image, preserving the love, laughter, and even the quiet in-between moments.




A Few Fun Facts About Me


  • Art and Creativity Run Deep: When I’m not behind the camera, I love creating in other mediums, like watercolor painting and ceramics. Art has always been my way of exploring and expressing what inspires me.

  • I’m a PNW Lover: I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest during a summer visit to Oregon in 2012 and made it my home shortly after. The stunning landscapes here continue to fuel my creativity every day.

  • Music is My Happy Place: I met my husband Jake in high school choir, and music remains an important part of my life. It’s a constant source of inspiration for my work and my creative process.

  • Nature is Everything: I’m happiest when I’m outdoors—whether it’s hiking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the peace of a forest or the ocean. I love bringing the beauty of natural settings into my photography.

  • My Fur Family: I share my home with two sweet cats, Anji and Phoebe, and my lively mini Aussie, Dottie. They’re my constant companions and never fail to bring a smile to my face.




What I Value


I believe in creating an experience that’s as meaningful as the photos themselves. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a family session, or a celebration of your love story, I’m here to make the process feel effortless and true to you. My goal is always to capture the unique essence of my clients in a way that feels natural and timeless.



Let’s Connect!


Now that you know a little more about me, I’d love to get to know you! Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to capture the beauty of everyday moments, I’m here to help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me—I can’t wait to hear from you and start creating something beautiful together!
