Thank you so much for being here!


I’m Donna, a 34-year-old nature lover, public landowner, and a hiker. I spend most of my free time with my fluffy pups & my wonderful husband, who I call my best friend and is my inspiration. During the summer and fall, I am out in the wilderness exploring new places. I enjoy hunting, hiking, fishing, kayaking, and volunteering to keep the wilderness healthy and thriving. I have a passion for caring and capturing true moments that brings me to happy tears every single time.


Photography to me is not just clicking a button and taking pretty pictures. It’s about real connection, real emotions and documenting genuine moments. Enjoying each other presences is what makes moments so pure & honest. I find inspiration by admiring the beauty of our everyday surroundings and listening to your love stories. My artwork is a way you get to express your authentic self and feel right at home. Capturing the small and big things to feel, and to freeze an image that you can look back forever. Images that remind us on how we reflect on life by appreciating and celebrating where we are now and how far we have come. By turning every loving page through your memory book that heals our heart and soul. These precious moments are the ones we remain to cherish close to our hearts.


I thrive to document more genuine stories that are heartfelt and that it represents you and your love. I believe finding a photographer that you feel connected is so important. Creating a beautiful friendship is a whole another level of comfort. 


I have met so many beautiful clients that became my friends & I can’t wait to meet more sweet souls and continue to create such wonderful memories that captivates our hearts.


Kind words

Donna doesn’t just take photos and capture memories, she captures and creates art🥹😍the soul touching kind of art. She didn’t even know my vision and created something so far beyond what I could have imagined. My soul shows in the photos and that is the kind of thing you don’t get every day! I absolutely recommend Donna!!!!!
