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!

Meeting Dayna felt like reconnecting with a long lost friend.
Dayna is extremely amazing and so easy to work with! Meeting Dayna felt like reconnecting with a long lost friend. She made our time with her so fun and easy going that our entire family did not hesitate to simply goof around. The music she played for us during the shoot added to the mood. Thank you again so much, Dayna for the photos! No words can capture how grateful we are for you, and how great the photos turned out to be! Hope to get to work with you again!

could not be more pleased with our family photos
I could not be more pleased with our family photos from Dayna M Photography. She was very patient with us and answered all of my questions. I also felt that Dayna was very accommodating. Dayna helped my family feel comfortable by directing us when we didn’t know what to do. We ended up with some great photos!! I would use her again!!
she is very friendly and easy going
We had an amazing experience & shoot with Dayna. She captured my little family & my engagement. She is very friendly and easy going- pictures were received very quickly. I recommend her if in Alberta region.
dayna went out of her way to come prepared with inspiration
We booked Dayna for a maternity shoot and we are so thrilled with the results. We were nervous at first not knowing how to pose and what to expect, but Dayna went out of her way to come prepared with inspiration photos and poses for us to try. She also captured natural candid moments which was a happy surprise. Her editing skills are incredible and we were shocked to see the final photos. Thank you Dayna for documenting this moment for us that we will cherish forever. 10/10 recommend!
