Dana is an award winning photographer located in Alvord, Iowa. A tiny town in the far northwest corner of the state. While the town may be small, it is just a short drive from Sioux Falls and has many neat areas nearby for portrait sessions included within her studio which is in the front portion of her home that she shares with her husband and two children. She also travels to many places for location sessions!

Dana earned an associate degree in graphic communications in 2003 and then worked as a graphic designer building photo albums, retouching images, designing advertising and other creative work for other studios. She discovered her love of photography during this time and after moving back to her childhood town, opened her studio in 2011.

Dana has received many art and photography awards on the state and national levels including a spot on Team USA in the 2021 World Photographic Cup. Through Professional Photographers of America she has earned the Master Photographer degree in 2021 and Master Artist Degree in 2022. She truly loves being a part of the photographic community.
