The heart behind my work is my dad, who lovingly called me Day Day as a child. Though he’s no longer with us, his love and spirit continue to inspire everything I do. My hope is that through my lens, I can create keepsakes that not only reflect your moments but hold the love and connections that make them truly unforgettable.
Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Even as a little girl, I was fascinated by the magic of freezing a moment in time—holding it close and reliving the emotions it carried. Over the years, that fascination has grown into a passion and a way to connect with others, celebrating the love and beauty in their stories.
so glad you are here!
Welcome Friend!

"I am speechless! The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. We appreciate you so much and are so thankful for your patience and art."
I am so grateful for the experience Dana gave us and the images are worth more than I could ever express!
Before photography, I spent over a decade in advertising as an account executive and media planner. It taught me the value of collaboration, creativity, and truly understanding people’s needs—skills I bring to every session.
