About Me
Let me introduce myself
Hi, I’m Dana — a people person, memory-maker and lover of light Based in the beautiful south of Adelaide, I find joy in the in-between moments: shared laughs, quiet glances, messy cake faces, and the way love shows up in everyday life.
Photography isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. I’ve always been drawn to preserving moments that matter. Not just the perfect poses, but the real stuff: the warmth, the connection, the story behind each image. My goal? To give you photos that make you smile now and stop you in your tracks years from now.
Sessions with me are relaxed, easy, and filled with good energy. I’ll guide you gently, chat with your kids, high-five your partner, and yes — I’ll absolutely snuggle your dog. I want you to feel like you're hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera in hand.
So, if you're after images that feel like you — natural, heartfelt, and full of life — you're in the right place. Let’s make some magic together. Photos that are a real as you.

“Wow from start to finish it was such an easy experience. Dana made us feel so relaxed that we enjoyed the shoot.
Looking at the photos we all laughed as we remembered what was said and how much fun we had. That’s what a photo shoot should be a time to reflect on the memories.
The selection process was the hard part so many gorgeous pictures to choose from it was hard to say no to them.
Thank you thank you Dana for making our family love the shoots.”
