| data:[...] Base64 | Remember when Friday introductions were a thing? Yea... me either 😆 but here we are 👋🏼
I’m Dayna — the heart, the hustle, and the actual human behind the algorithms and lens of Dayna Mae Photography.
This week I kicked off my 37th trip around the sun ☀️ 🥳— and figured it’s been a minute since I’ve shown my face here.
So, hey howdy heyyyyy.
Here I am.
A little older, hopefully a little wiser, and still wildly in love with this work and the couples & families that make this so much more than a career for me, and have for the last 17 years.
In case you've been buried under a rock when it comes to your social media game (like I have been the last year) here's a little about me you may not know!
✨ Mama of FOUR tiny humans (two in diapers, two in elementary) who expand my heart and my patience on the daily, but also inspire my greatest work.
✨ I've been Married to my high school sweetheart @mattmager — 15 years strong
✨ and have been celebrating the last 20 birthdays with the same hunky middle school crush by my side, just with a new title #husband #babydaddy 😍
My family is the fuel behind the magic I create for yours. They remind me why preserving moments matters more than ever. 💛
Some of my superpowers include:
🥴 Stress I mean Binge-eating an entire bag of Trolli sour gummy worms
📸 Making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera
🎞 Capturing the kind of moments that make you FEEL something every time you look back
My style?
✨ Raw
✨ Organic
✨ Timeless
✨ Real
✨ “Feels like family” energy behind every frame
With over a decade of weddings captured and clients I've walked alongside from proposals to newborns (and now seniors 😭), I’ve built a business rooted in relationship and loyalty.
So no, I’m not the cheapest...
But I am the one who shows up.
Again and again.
To celebrate your love, your people, your legacy.
📸 I don’t just take pictures. I treasure stories.
And I’d be honored to help tell yours.
👇 Let’s connect:
💬 Drop a “hi!” if we’ve never met
📷 Share a fave memory if you've been in front of my camera
💌 If you’re looking for a photographer who shows up like family — hi. It's me ✔️
Thanks for being here. For real. | |
| data:[...] Base64 | Photographer confession: I hateeeee updating photos in our frames around our house. Don't get me wrong, I'm so glad we have updated photos but each new photo behind a little glass window is another reminder that yesterday, and the little years are getting further and further out of our grasp. And I just want to hold onto them.... a little longer.
But when you're looking through prints (YES I PRINT MY PHOTOS - and you should, too! 😉) and find this side by side of when you were a new mother, falling more and more with this little boy, looking at his chicklet teeth and button nose, savoring the grunt in his laughter, thinking the days can't get any better....
.blink.
Then five years later, he's falling in love with his siblings like you fell in love with him.

| data:[...] Base64 | @thebridaltheory and @amandawritesman shared this today and I just needed a place to keep it on the web.
17 years in the game, and I’m still grateful for some of my FIRST clients I still get to photograph today 🥹♥️🙏🏻 and then there’s the work besties...... ohhh those are the good ones- love you long time ♥️
Happy Thanksgiving!! What are you thankful for?? | |
