hi!! I'm Dana. A Washington based + Destination photographer with a passion to help you perserve genuine and dream-like memories that will last a lifetime.

Client Love
"Dana feels like family. My husband and I felt so comfortable in front of her and confident that she'd capture our special day as I had always envisioned it. There was complete ease and peace of mind. It's difficult not to trust someone as kind, down-to-earth, and generous as Dana is. If I had to do my wedding day all over again, I would still choose her. I mean, just look at her stunning portfolio! Thank you Dana for capturing the best day of our lives."
