BEHIND THE LENS
I have been a lover of the arts since I was a little girl and a practicing artist and photographer for the past 7 years. It all started with a Melissa & Doug easel in elementary school, where I found my love for creating beautiful things for others through painting and drawing. From there, by a random coincidence, I ended up taking my first darkroom film photography class one day. Ever since I developed film and took photos for the first time, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and I haven’t stopped pursuing my passion since.
I am passionate about celebrating the unique, the individual, and the beautifully diverse. I love capturing people in their truest element and creating a space where they feel seen, supported, and fully themselves. It is truly my favorite thing in the world.


STORYTELLER. LOVER OF ALL THINGS WHIMSICAL. SENTIMENTAL.
I was originally born in Brandon, Florida, but spent most of my childhood growing up in the Carolinas. Although I was the only artist in my family, I was incredibly fortunate to grow up in an environment where arts and culture were deeply valued. Many of the artists I grew up alongside and participated in programs with are still people I stay close to and collaborate with today. I later earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography, which further shaped my passion and artistic perspective.
I value photography that feels honest and genuine. I create work that does not feel overly produced or performative, but instead tells the story of who you truly are. I want people to look back on their photos and feel like they are reliving moments that feel authentically them. I love having fun and creating freely with my work, and while consistency is important to me, I naturally gravitate toward warm lighting and imagery that feels like your memory that is not a cookie cutter preset that looks the same with every gallery. I create photos that are emotional, nostalgic, and full of emotion.
Nice to meet you

Kind Words
Donya is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I contacted her in a whim for engagement photos. I was only going to be in Florida for the weekend and she made time for us 2 days later! She is down to earth and doesn’t make it awkward! She captured some beautiful photos of my fiancé on Clearwater Beach and the most gorgeous, fun, AUTHENTIC pics I’ve ever had done. She is very communicative and prompt to respond. I would recommend her to everyone and I will definitely be contacting her again next year when I bring my whole family down!
