Your family's story is one filled with love, connection, and moments that deserve to be captured with intention.
We’ll start with a personal phone call to talk about your family, your vision, and what you’re hoping to capture. I’ll answer your questions, walk you through the experience, and help determine the best session option for you. A $495 session fee secures your date on my calendar.
Once booked, you’ll receive everything you need to feel prepared, including my Planning Guide, styling support, location guidance, and complimentary access to the Client Closet. I’ll be available throughout the process to make planning feel simple and intentional.
This is where you get to simply be together. I’ll guide you throughout your session while leaving plenty of room for genuine connection, movement, and the little moments that make your family yours.
Your photographs are meant to be enjoyed beyond a screen. After your session, you’ll receive your beautifully retouched gallery and personalized guidance for turning your favorite images into heirloom artwork designed for your home and family.

Dana is a Michigan-based family photographer who believes the most meaningful images are the ones that capture how this season feels, not just how it looks. She specializes in documenting connection — the in-between moments, genuine laughter, and the beautiful rhythm of everyday family life.
With years of experience working with families and young children, Dana knows how to gently guide sessions while allowing space for authenticity. She brings a thoughtful balance of organization and creativity to every experience — ensuring the process feels seamless from planning to final artwork.
Her style blends timeless portraiture with natural, unposed moments, resulting in honest, frame-worthy images meant to be cherished now and passed down for generations.
The next step is to schedule a phone call so we can talk through your family, what you’re envisioning for your session, and any questions you may have.
Simply click the link below to choose a time that works best for you. During our call, I’ll walk you through the session experience, discuss availability and location options, and make sure we’re creating a session that feels like the right fit for your family.
After our conversation, I’ll send everything you need to officially reserve your session and begin the planning process. I can’t wait to connect with you!
“We had such a wonderful experience working with Dana for our family photos! She was so friendly, patient, and kind, especially with our newborn son, Hayes. She made the whole session feel relaxed and fun, and it really shows in the pictures. We were blown away by how many beautiful, high-quality photos she delivered! We love the monthly mini sessions she offers for all the holidays and seasons! We’ll definitely be booking with her again and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Dana is truly amazing at what she does! She makes your experience fun and personable, she will even sing your 1 year old Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to capture the best pictures! She responds quickly to messages and delivers your photos in a timely manner. This is the second time we’ve used her business and she does not disappoint! Highly recommend.”

“Dana has been our family photographer since we moved to Michigan 2 years ago. She consistently gets smiles out of my toddler which is no small feat. She has great ideas for shots and the venues she suggests are unique. Her studio is amazing as well! She even has a client closet so you don’t have to spend $ on a dress for one shoot. Highly, highly recommend!”
Caity P.
“Our entire family of five worked with Dana for a Mother's Day session and she was truly wonderful! From her thoughtful choice of background decor, to the client closet, to her wonderfully patient demeanor and adaptability. She was kind and thoughtful and has an eye for posing and light! The pictures truly turned out beautifully and we can't wait to work with Dana again in the future!”
