"I have always trusted her vision and without fail she has photographed my business, my family photos and so many branding shoots with absolute perfection. She makes every session comfortable and her professionalism makes her the easiest recommendation to anyone who asks. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
10000/10, would absolutely recommend to a friend!"
" You can tell she genuinely cares not only about her photography, but about her clients and the people they love.
We booked her for our engagement shoot and loved her from the moment we met her. We felt comfortable right away, and she guided us effortlessly into poses we wanted without anything ever feeling forced or unauthentic.
We then booked her for our wedding in Islamorada in the Florida Keys, and she went above and beyond. We had an intimate ceremony with only immediate family, and it never felt like we “hired a photographer” as she truly felt like an extension of our family. She listened so closely to what we wanted, and her attention to detail was unreal. Our photos felt organic, truly like us, and the perfect representation of our day.
We would recommend Dakota a thousand times over to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented, but genuinely kind and intentional in everything she does. She captures moments in a way that feels effortless, emotional, and timeless.!"
I’ve booked with Dakota a handful of times. Anniversary shoots, business headshots, and maternity photos. Let me tell you this, she will make ANY vision you have absolutely come to life and honestly, make it better than you imagined. She captures all the emotions so beautifully ever. single. time. She never falls short of excellence and she is SO much fun to work with. She gives great directions in posing you to make the photos look effortless and fantastic. I think it’s also important to note that you don’t get just a few photos back— you get a very generous amount of edited photos back to you in a very timely manner.
I’ve had so many people ask where I had gotten them done! Not only do the photos turn out beautifully, but Dakota makes sure that you feel comfortable and confident at your shoots. When I met her for the first time, it was like I had known her for years. She always goes above and beyond to make sure you’re happy with your photos and get them on time! She is truly one of the most considerate and helpful photographers you’ll meet! I find every excuse to have her take my pictures! I will 100% recommend her for any occasion! She is just the sweetest! Thank you Dakota!
