Hi! I'm Dakota.
I'm a photographer, dance instructor, and makeup artist based
in Seattle, WA and here's my story:
After realizing I didn't actually want to go to med school (sorry, mom and dad!), I halted my grad school apps and accepted a serendipitous scholarship to a professional makeup artistry program in Vancouver, BC. After learning all I could about beauty and prosthetic makeup, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my craft.
I worked in film, fashion, and live events and had an AMAZING time but it was in LA that I discovered that I liked taking photos even better than doing makeup! Much like dance, makeup was only remembered if someone was there to capture it. I wanted to create things that would live forever.
This realization inspired me to move back home to build a business that uses all the things I love most to craft meaningful pieces of art that
will last for generations.
