Dana's career as a wedding photographer was born out of a friendship she made while volunteering at the animal shelter in Baltimore City nearly 15 years ago. As a fierce advocate for animal rescue + adoption, a long-time rescue volunteer, foster dog mom, and shelter photographer, Dana proudly donates a portion of all wedding photography proceeds to local animal shelters + rescues throughout the year.
