From Scrubs to Shutters 📸

Had every intention of doing my lunch break walk today…
Then I stepped outside and realized the weather belongs in the garbage can. 🚮

So instead of shutter clicks, we have sad desk lunch vibes and a side of
“You can’t sit with us.”

Apparently the sun has joined the Plastics. ☀️💅

Most of my day is spent in scrubs at the oral surgery office — but photography is still my passion. So I’m starting something new: From Scrubs to Shutters. Every day that we have good weather on my lunch hour, I’ll head out for a quick photo walk and share what I see. A little creativity squeezed into a busy life.

Bad news first: in my attempt to be organized and make a new personal Venmo, I accidentally closed my original business Venmo too 😅
RIP, old friend.

BUT the good news (and honestly the better news): while setting up a brand new Dana Ann Photography business Venmo, I unlocked a whole bunch of shiny new features — including TAP TO PAY 🤯 Never in a million years did I think I’d be a tap-to-pay girly, but here we are.

And honestly? The new Venmo page is adorable.

Always find the positive in the negative ✨

If you need it moving forward, here’s the new link:

Some friendships start in college… and last a lifetime.
Five best friends, one annual tradition, and a weekend full of laughter in State College. From their Mercyhurst College days to where life has taken them now, this girls weekend is a reminder that the best memories are made when you come back together. 🤍🥂

So grateful they chose me not just as their photographer, but to hang out, laugh, and document their 2026 girls weekend—real moments they’ll have long after the weekend ends.

📆 Happy Monday, December 33rd, 2025!!

The day where time is fake, motivation is optional, and everyone’s living off leftover cookies and vibes.

If you’re feeling behind — don’t worry, the calendar is too. But somehow, life is still happening, memories are still being made, and your camera roll is still full of screenshots and blurry photos you swear you’ll organize one day.

This is your reminder that you don’t need a “fresh start” to capture good moments. You just need to exist… preferably in decent lighting. 📸✨

When you’re ready to stop trusting your cousin with the iPhone — I’m here.
Booking sessions in whatever day this is.

2025 was a year of 'growth'—the kind that doesn’t always feel good while it’s happening. It challenged me mentally and physically, but as I look back through my lens, I see the strength that came from it.

I’m stepping into 2026 with a full heart and a very busy family calendar!

This year, we’re celebrating some massive milestones:
• Our oldest, Ava, is graduating and heading off to Penn State this summer! (We’re officially a Nittany Lion family! 🦁)

• Our daughter Alivia hits the big 16.

• And Carson, ‘the baby' is turning 10.

I’m prioritizing more time with my amazing husband and our kids, but I’m also so ready to get back behind the camera. To my past clients: thank you for sticking by me. To my future clients: I can’t wait to capture your story. Let's make 2026 a year of beautiful memories.
