Hi, I'm Dana Thompson
I am a professional photographer, post partum doula and proud mother with over 10 years of experience. I’m passionate about capturing life’s most meaningful moments with authenticity and heart. Based in Olympia WA, I specialize in family photography, portrait photography, and lifestyle sessions that celebrate love, connection, and genuine emotion.
As a mom, I understand how quickly time passes and how important it is to preserve those real, heartfelt memories — from the quiet, candid moments to the big, joyful milestones. My goal is to create timeless, high-quality images that tell your family’s unique story.
Whether you’re looking for a family photo session, maternity portraits, or lifestyle photography, I strive to make every experience relaxed, personal, and memorable. I’m grateful to share my love of photography with families across the Pacific North West and to help turn life’s fleeting moments into lasting art.
My approach
My approach to photography combines artistic direction with genuine emotion. While I specialize in posed photography, I’m equally passionate about capturing candid, natural-feeling moments that reveal real people and authentic connections. I love stepping back and observing quietly, allowing moments to unfold naturally so I can capture the beauty of genuine interaction and emotion.
From highly stylized creative sets to weddings and family photo sessions, my photography covers a wide range of styles and experiences. Based in Olympia Washington, I offer professional wedding photography, family photography, and portrait sessions that highlight personality and connection. I enjoy helping clients plan outfits, design sets, and create cohesive, meaningful scenes that bring their vision to life.
On wedding days, I seamlessly blend into the celebration, becoming part of the wedding party while making everyone feel comfortable and confident in my presence. My goal is always to deliver timeless, high-quality images that feel both beautifully curated and authentically you.
Let’s work together
