Hi, I'm Dayna! I'm passionate about capturing the natural beauty in people and the world around us, from the dimples on your face to the shoes on your feet. My photography style is all about candid moments, authenticity, nostalgia, with a dreamy touch. Well, that’s my quick pitch.. are you convinced yet?

Here is just some of my work…

authentic. genuine. real people.

authentic. genuine. real people.

I am a lifestyle & family photographer based in Bismarck, ND - more than willing to travel for any adventure (may include travel fees for anything further than 30 miles outside of Bismarck)!

Whether it’s a playful family shoot, romantic couples’ session, milestone celebration, or you want to invest in a branding sesh for your up-and-coming business - I’ve got you covered. I treat each shoot as an opportunity to get to know, document, and share your story.

I enjoy taking a documentary style approach while still directing prompts and poses as needed. No awkwardness here! I rather you be in the moment than feel the need to create a fake one.

So… whatcha think about getting to know each other & creating something special? :)
