I’m Dena, a natural light lifestyle photographer with 20+ years of experience capturing other people’s memories and teaching photographers how to understand and easily use their cameras…but I’ve been exactly where you are.

I have always had a creative side, and with the birth of my sons, I realized that photography was my outlet, but having an expensive camera didn’t mean I was a photographer.

It took me several years of frustration, many missed memories, and a dictionary of technical terms to learn photography, but when I did, I knew I had found my true passion and that I wanted to share that passion with other new photographers in an easy to follow, less frustrating way.
