On January 26th I had my first “Paws for a Cause” event in the studio. I’ve had a love for animals since I was a little girl… When my mom would take me trick-or-treating every year, we would get to the door, the kids would say trick or treat and that was my cue… I …

We did Carrie’s maternity photo’s just in time, because shortly after, this little man made his first appearance! Meet Gavin Daniel Ekle. He was such a sweetie at his session, and loved being the center of attention, and cozying up with all the fun props. Austin was so patient during Gavin’s time in the spotlight, …
This family holds a special place in my heart, and are quite possibly, one of the awesome-est families on the entire planet! I remember taking Carrie’s maternity photos when Austin was just a little peanut, and was so thrilled to be able to capture this time for them again! Austin thought it was so …
For Christmas this year Matt and I decided we wanted to “spice up” our wrapping per say with a fun idea that won’t break the bank! This is a super easy, and personal way to give that extra something that will set you apart at family gatherings! 😀 Simply wrap your gifts with the brown …
It was so great seeing this beautiful family again. It’s always amazing seeing how much families can change and grow in just a year! 😀 So thankful for such awesome repeat clients. The weather, was one of the last gorgeous days we had before the leaves were all gone! Enjoy! blessings, dayna
It has been way too long since I have blogged, and I’ve had SO many amazing families, seniors, and weddings this fall I need to get around to sharing! Finally, as my husband and our friend from California are up playing Mario brothers (yes, they are grown men) I am knocking down the first gorgeous family on …
What a joy to be able to capture yet another gorgeous couple at the Village at Bay Harbor! We had a blast, and saw a lot of old faces from the past 😀 Kinda like a high school reunion, minus the tacky decor and bad food. I loved all the details Christy put into this …
In honor of September 11th, I thought it would be nice to post this adorable couple I had the chance to meet and capture their love story last week. Madeline is going to school full time in Iowa, and Chris is living in Virginia, and stationed in DC… so to say they have a long distance …
Every 1 year old should have the chance at a cake smash, and with Hailey Joy, it was more of a cake explosion! Mommy did such a great job making the cake 🙂 (I almost reached in for a bite…) Hailey didn’t waste any time, as we all laughed in the studio, watching the amazement in her …
Mike and Sarah, are such a genuinly sweet couple. Mike (as every husband should) always laughs at Sarah’s jokes, and Sarah, well, always has that dreamy look when looking at Mike. To the two of you, hat’s off for embracing the rain on your wedding day! Sarah, I am so proud of you for not …
I’m not quite sure where to begin with this couple… So I will start with the 2nd grade when Ashley became my best friend after maliciously giving me a paper-cut in my eyeball, and having to spend the afternoon with our moms in the ER. (I say malicious, but in 2nd grade, a mosquito bite …
Carla & Colin, what a precious couple they are! Sweethearts since middle school, I got teary eyed hearing them relive their story before their “first look” on their wedding day. What started as puppy love at age 13, developed into a 3 year engagement, which could only lead to Carla Miller changing her name to …
It was a beautiful day, but above 95 degrees outside, and you know, with little ones, that doesn’t always fly! Thankfully, we changed the session to right before sunset (and the kiddo’s bedtime) and I couldn’t be more thrilled! They were full of smiles, and Mr. Sun was lovin’ on us through most of the …
Let’s be honest, I absolutely ADORE Â my job– but in fact, there are many days in which I stay in my yoga pants and matt’s old t-shirt, while lost in a world of editing. This time of year, I have to remember that it is especially important for me to make time for some “me” …
This wedding was adorable on so many levels. From the fresh wildflowers, to the bride’s baby breath bouquet, to the handmade favors, their gorgeous rings, and the divine love for eachother, the entire day was complete wedded bliss. Carlos & Faith, wishing you a life time of happiness, and a home filled with babies as …
