Born in Toronto, and happily living in the Rockies since 2016! Never did I once think I would end up living here in Cochrane, AB. A photography job out in Lake Louise is actually what brought me originally to the mountains. I was only supposed to be here for a year. However, like most Ontarionians I meet out here, the mountains sucked me in.
Photography has always been a passion of mine, ever since my dad got me my first point and shoot camera when I was 5 years old! I never thought I could make a career out of this until I started doing family photography in Lake Louise. I now specialize in couple and engagements shoots. It's become a real joy to me to capture those special moments for those to save a lifetime. I hope you'll consider me to capture your forever memories. <3
What am I doing when not taking photos:
You can find me hanging out with my husband and the cutest cat ever! Reading a book (currently I'm into all the Sarah J. Maas books, of course).
Traveling, usually back to Ontario to see my mom (aka best friend), and my brothers (best guys ever!), and my home town friends! Or in BC nursing as I love to travel nurse there, yes, I am also a nurse.
Hanging out with the animals at the Humane Society, I recently started volunteering there and absolutely love it.
Trying out new hikes in the mountains. It may take me a little longer to get up there, but I do it!
Paddle boarding in the summer. I miss all the big lakes! I'm definitely a water person, so try to get out on the water as much as I can.
Trying a new restaurant, I LOVE food! And I love getting all dressed up, trying out new makeup, to go out for a nice lunch or dinner. Even brunch!
she adapted to our love and goofiness that my partner and I shared.
My partner and I were extremely satisfied with our photos. Dayna was very lovely, she adapted to our love and goofiness that my partner and I shared. She ultimately captured them in so many different ways. Thanks a million Dayna!!! We highly recommend her and her services. If you want Not only the Best photos but the Best individual to do it for you, Dayna is that person for sure.
We laughed a ton during our shoot; and Dayna captured it all.
We worked with Dayna for our engagement photos while we were visiting Banff- I can’t say enough good things about working with Dayna.
My fiancé and I are not “photo” people- and Dayna just made us feel so comfortable. We have a big height difference between the two of us and she nailed the photos! We laughed a ton during our shoot; and Dayna captured it all. Not only were the posed photos beautiful, but the candids really captured our love and laughter. It truly was the best and a memory I won’t ever forget and we’re so grateful to work with Dayna!
I will definitely choose her again next time i do a shoot
Dayna is very nice and kind person. I recently had a pre engagement shoot with her in Banff. She was extremely accommodating and did a fantastic job with the pictures. She responds very quickly as well. I will definitely choose her again next time I do a shoot .
She’s your everyday girl that you automatically gravitate to.
Dayna was a literal breath of fresh air to work with! We had the privilege of working with her during our maternity/engagement shoot followed by our wedding just a few short months later.
My husband and I can be a little camera shy and she had no issues guiding us along the way and making us feel comfortable.
She lead the way during our wedding but also let our friends be their goofy selves while capturing all the fun moments.
She’s your everyday girl that you automatically gravitate to.
She captured it all and we couldn’t be happier with the results and will absolutely use her for all our family photography needs in the future.
Her work speaks for itself. Beautifully breathtaking, in-the-moment photos we look forward to cherishing for years to come.
Would love her to capture our wedding
I reached out to her for my engagement event! I was extremely nervous, but she encouraged and guided us comfortably, allowing us to finish successfully.
She not only has good photo skills but lovely communcation skills!!
I'd like to appreciate everything she gave us and I'd be very glad if I would ask her to do our wedding shoot.
I highly recommend her and thank you again
Precision & Class
Dayna perfectly captured our engagement moment with precision and class. We still cannot decide which ones are our favorites and I highly recommend hiring Dayna for your photography needs
i'm so glad i found dayna!
I had a mini shoot with Dayna and it was so smooth and exactly what I had hoped for! Despite being a "mini" session, it felt anything but rushed. We covered all the beautiful spots in Lake Minnewanka perfectly. I'm so glad I found Dayna! If we ever return to Banff, I’ll definitely be booking with her again.
absolutely magical!
Dayna’s photography was absolutely magical!! She did my fiancé and I’s shoot for a surprise proposal and it was everything a girl dreams of. She was at the top of the Gondola at Banff and did an incredible job capturing the moment. She gave us some time to ourselves then we did a mini shoot and she was so good posing us and making recommendations. We did a ton of different backgrounds and poses before we parted ways! She got us the photos back so quickly and they were so beautiful (I cried)!! All our family and friends are so impressed with the photos. I’m so thankful my fiancé found her, we’ll cherish these pictures forever!
