2026 Fall Mini Sessions
"In the end, few things matter in life. Relationships
are the few things"
Time is measured
in minutes but
Life is measured
in moments
-Richie norton
It really is that simple. We know that if we can make these photo sessions FUN for kids, that Mom and Dad will be happy too. We move fast, and we keep things light, we have TREAT BAGS!
Our hope is that you walk away with great images of your family as your kids are growing and that your kids leave saying, "THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN. Can we do it again next year?"
OUR APPROACH:
Have FUN

“We just received our photos from Nate and Dana, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! They are absolutely beautiful. I actually cried looking through them because they captured so many little moments I didn’t even realize were happening. As a mom, I treasure these photos even more because I know how quickly these years fly by..”
Beyond the photos, Nate and Dana are just SO fun and easy to work with. It takes real talent to take one of the most stressful parenting activities—getting everyone to cooperate for photos—and somehow make it feel fun, relaxed, and beautiful.
We’re so grateful to have these memories of our family.

“Dana and Nate are THE BEST! They somehow make taking photos feel effortless and FUN. We’re completely comfortable with them, which means the photos actually feel like us. I’ve referred them to so many friends for weddings and family photos, and every single one has become a repeat customer."
- Tara & bryce
They’re incredibly talented, true professionals, and genuinely so much fun to have around. They’re our go-to photographers for every big moment in our lives!
We have so many priceless photos of our family’s biggest moments, and I’ll cherish them forever.
We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our memories.
Dana and Nate are THE best photographers and people in general. First off, they are easy to communicate with whether it’s in the initial set up of everything or in person during the fun stuff. They are detail oriented in the most amazing ways and it shows in their work - which is stunning to say the least!
"Our wedding day of course was the cherry on top, we felt so happy to have the both of them help guide us thru our day and capture every special moment! They truly have blessed us with so many memories."
As we are a lesbian couple it was important for us to find someone who respected our relationship but was also excited to photograph us. As soon as we Skyped to meet (we live in the UK) we knew straight away that they were the right photographers for us, & we weren't wrong!
"We had a blast during our engagement shoot & received the most amazing images. We had our trust fully in Dana & Nate at our wedding and our photographs are stunning."
Dana & Nate were so much fun to work with!! The photos came out fantastic, we've received tons of compliments on them already! Definitely would recommend this team for photos of your big day!
"It's not every day that you are in a photo shoot, and their warmth and good humor really allowed my husband and I to feel comfortable in front of the camera."
“They are masters of guiding you in the moment, rather than sticking you in a pose. They captured our vibe—fun, carefree, intimate, loving.”
