We had such an amazing experience with Dakota for my daughter’s two-year-old photos! From the moment we arrived, Dakota was warm, patient, and incredibly professional. Photographing a toddler isn’t always easy, but she made the entire session feel fun and stress-free. She captured my daughter’s personality so beautifully—every smile, little expression, and candid moment felt so genuine. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and they’re something we’ll treasure forever. I highly recommend Dakota to anyone looking for a talented photographer, especially for little ones. We couldn’t be happier with the results!

My fiancée and I brought our newborn daughter, Emilia, to Dakota when she was just two weeks old for the first session of her First Year Collective package. We later returned for one of her pop-up holiday mini sessions, and both experiences reinforced what we already felt after that first visit — that we had found someone exceptional.
