To make an impact you need to have images that show off who you are and what you do. Your clients want to see your face and your style. It builds connection and trust. If you're nervous about being in front of the camera, don't be. It feels just like two friends hanging out and one happens to taking photos (that's me!) I make the process comfortable, fun and easy!
It's not just about your photos; it's about capturing a connection with your ideal audience. Together, we curate a modern, joyful brand story that resonates.

Vibrant brand imagery:
The Process
I love getting to know about you and your business. A brand questionnaire will be sent to you to gather all the exciting details. Knowing your personality, brand values, colors and overall feeling you want to convey will give me so much inspiration to create your perfect brand story.
Discovery call
Once I gather all the details, I make a comprehensive moodboard that includes colors, inspiration, style, outfits etc. It also includes a timeline, props and shotlist so to make your sure we cover everything needed to make your session amazing.
Moodboards + Timelines
I understand how intimidating it can feel to be in front of the camera. I will give you so much direction and you won't feel like you're posing. The session will be comfortable, fun and efficient. And you'll be so excited with images that help you feel confidant in marketing your business.
Shoot day!
Not only is she incredibly talented and creative, but she makes you feel so comfortable and confident during the shoot. Something that is so important to getting those natural, effortless shots!"
Dana was also really instrumental in helping me decide what I wanted out of my brand photo shoot, how I would use the photos, and the best locations knowing what my business and marketing goals were. Even though I had an idea of what I wanted in terms of types of shots, outfits and locations, she helped me narrow it down and make a confident decision. The end result is completely amazing and everything I wanted and more. My website and social feeds look incredibly professional and branded now! Dana is so much more than the person behind the camera. She is a creative strategist, someone who can recommend additional team members for your shoot (i.e. stylist and hair/makeup) and the perfect partner for branding efforts. Plus, her creative energy is a complete joy to be around. Don’t hesitate to hire her!

"Working with Dana was transformational. It wasn't just about getting the right angles or the perfect lighting – it was a journey of self-discovery. She guided me through the process, helping me see that being in front of the camera wasn't about vanity or exposure but about authenticity and vulnerability.
Each click of the camera was a step towards embracing my worth and role as a business owner, a wife, a mother, and a powerful woman with a vision and a voice. Dana’s lens didn't just capture images; it reflected the essence of myself and what BeautyInk Studio stands for – empowerment, beauty, and confidence. "
