Hi, I'm Dana!
For 15 years, I worked as a 911 operator and emergency dispatcher. I was the calm voice on the line when everything felt overwhelming when people were scared, confused, or just trying to hold it together. I stayed steady through emergencies, chaos, and silence. I guided people through some of the hardest moments of their lives with nothing but my voice and a whole lot of heart.
Now? I get to be there for the best moments instead.
I bring that same calm energy into every wedding I photograph, whether you're eloping in the forest, dancing under twinkle lights, or celebrating with all your loved ones. I know how to read the room, guide gently, and stay grounded no matter what the day brings.
My job isn’t just to take pretty pictures. It’s to hold space for the real stuff, the nerves, the deep breaths, the quiet moments between the big ones.
I’m there to help you feel fully present and to capture the magic that unfolds when you do.
MY PORTFOLIO
SAY HELLO
Hi, I'm Dana!
I get to be part of your most important moments. I get to create. I get to work from home (in sweatpants, let’s be real), then show up fully present for couples like you, camera in hand and heart wide open.
I get to help you through a day that’s emotional, unpredictable, and unforgettable and then give you something to hold onto when it’s all a blur.
It’s creative, it’s meaningful, it’s mine. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
