Hi, I'm Dara

I am a digital and film photographer from Paintsville, Kentucky. I'm a mom, pharmacist, plant lover, coffee enthusiast, Goodreads scroller and light chaser. My photos are cinematic and they tell a story.

A few quick "get to know me" facts. I love sunrises, sunsets, coffee dates, thrifting, long hikes, reading and any kind of adventure. Most importantly, I value authentic connection. I FEEL it when a mama is holding her baby close and taking in every breath. My heart melts during those moments right after the wedding when the bride and groom are taking in their new life together. And what an HONOR it is to be a small part of those moments. I still can't believe that people really share these most intimate, precious moments of their lives with me. That I get to document such important memories.

I don't take that lightly. I am so thankful for this opportunity and for the people that I get to meet along this journey.

Moments, memories, and EMOTION are what photography is to me.
