dreamy, raw & unscripted imagery for the youthful and care free
weddings, couples + families currently in fort worth, texas
digital + 35mm film
I strive to capture real love stories and make sentimental snapshots by taking a documentary and unposed approach to each session or wedding I photograph. I want to create and document genuine connection.
I create images that will be passed around the dinner table & hung on the fridge. I strive to create heirloom imagery that will be passed on for generations to come.
hey honey,
let’s grab coffee and talk all about love.
What does this mean for you? According to the merriam-webster dictionary, love is “a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties.” To some, love is remembering your partners Taco Bell order, having someone to dance around the kitchen with or hearing your babies heartbeat for the very first time. This is a question I ask every person I photograph. I love hearing all the different answers and all that comes to mind when I ask them. I love love. I love documenting, seeing,
feeling and expressing love. I want to create imagery that makes others feel the love between you and your partner or family. Love is super magical and dreamy and that’s how I aim to make others feel when looking at my work. Sometimes life can be a pain and I want to remind others to be kind and live in the moment. You can be old and still youthful. Let’s live in the moment and love each other and teach others to love love too. When photographing a session, I document the real & raw love between you and others around you.
I want to document & tell your love stories in a raw + intentional way.
Imagery for the non-traditional care-free folks.
KIND WORDS FROM LOVERS
“Dana is fabulous! We had an intimate wedding at our home that she captured beautifully with her photography skills. We will treasure these memories for a lifetime! I had only a few weeks to plan our wedding so finding Dana, with such short notice, was a blessing! She was quick to respond and willing to work within my budget. AND on the Friday after Thanksgiving! She blended in so nicely and were able to capture precious moments prior to and during the wedding.”
