About
My name is Dana
Hey there!
I have been involved with media creation in since 2016. In high school I focused on video production and social media management, which led me to Humber College's Media Communications program in 2018.
Graduating with a focus on photography and video creation, I explored content creation with The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and eventually landed with Greenhawk Equestrian as a Junior Digital Designer and then as their Photographer and Videographer.
My primary focus is to photograph new seasonal apparel and horse wear for their multiple private label collections. I work with our in house graphics team to photograph for web, socials and print, as well as for our seasonal flyers. I've expanded their website images by introducing white room photography for detailed apparel photos, and have brought new life to their Youtube channel by creating product focus videos for their private label horse wear lines.
When I'm not working you can find me at the barn with my pony Indiana Jones. I've been heavily involved in equestrian sports since I was young, and know the value of a great show photo! I ride dressage and am currently showing with Indy at Silver Training level.
On the side, I love capturing special moments with your family, furry or not! Please visit my Sessions page to learn more about my package offers. I look forward to hearing from you!
