“I've done FIVE sessions with Dana now. She is an amazing human and has not only incredible talent behind the camera, but is the absolute best at making you feel comfortable to be yourself. I don't recommend anyone more than her!”

Kind client words
As a mom to 3 humans and 2 weiner dogs, I know too deeply how quickly life changes.
One minute you’ve got braces, listening to your favorite playlist. Then, the next you’re somehow in charge of keeping small people alive when you can barely remember to brush your hair every day (and honestly sometimes we just like…don’t).
We move so quickly through life that we forget the way our partner looks at us when we laugh, or how insanely HOT we feel today, or those tiny hands giving you the biggest hug.
I want you to stop and feel those things. I want those moody feelings to live in your pictures YEARS from now - and I’m here to help bring those photos to life.

EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC Documentary photography
Which is why I don’t photograph only one event of your life. I’m your ride or die for years. I’ll get those bomb photos of you getting that ring on your finger, those empowering spicy pics, as well as those first cuddles as a family of 3 (and 4 and 5), and finally your rising business and growth. I’ve navigated them all personally and professionally.
We look back on life and miss the hugs with our family, the bar we had our first date at, that favorite t-shirt, and all our accomplishments along the way. Let’s document the good stuff.
- Weddings start at $1,200
- Boudoir starts at $250
- Family, Maternity, Newborns starts at $250
- Branding starts at $250
Travel to Chicago and Northern IL will have some added travel fees.
Let’s get right to it...
