Meet Dana

Charlottesville, VA Photographer

I’ve always been a documenter. There is so much to see and capture in my world. There are landscapes with mountains in perfect evening light, the most interesting characters moving across the lines of the downtown cityscape, a hug between two individuals that says more in one embrace than you could ever put down in words. Then there are my children, my favorite subjects of all. I’ve felt compelled to capture the fleeting moments in time; that “coy smile” signature of my youngest that lasted two short months, the pure joy on the face of my toddler son when he set off running through an open field, my captivated five year old staring out of our top floor NYC hotel room window in wonder. Through the camera I find beauty in all subjects, and joy in putting the everyday experience in a new light.

I have a BA in Studio Art from the University of Virginia where I ran track and cross country.
