Hello! My name is Dayna, and I am the creator of 'Dayna Joy Photography.'
My passion for photography began with photographing my own children's sporting events. I kept thinking to myself, "THIS is a moment I want to remember forever - where my kids are carefree and silly, playing a game that they love."
While we have had many family photography sessions done, very few were able to capture our kids just being themselves. We didn't have a lot of pictures as a family that looked like "us" - a sentiment that I feel a lot of families share.
I want to capture memories for families - not just photographs. Ones that they can look back upon and see themselves - full of life and love. I want to capture JOY.
When I work with clients, my main goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable session where clients are in the moment and their emotions are genuine.
Whether you are looking for a family photographer, beautiful pictures of your kids, couple photography, engagement photos, a maternity session or you are planning a wedding… I am your photographer!

""My dynamic of family has changed with just my girls and myself. When I went to the shoot in the morning, I was nervous because the one time we have done family photos in the past, kids would cry and not be happy take photos. I don't know how Dayna does it, but she was absolutely FANTASTIC with my children. They were comfortable with posing, smiling and had a wonderful time!""
