Hey! Welcome! I'm Alanna.
 

I'm really thrilled that you've taken the time to look through my work. Like actually. Really, really thrilled. Like a fist-pump-in-the-air kind of thrilled. 

I personally believe that getting to know each other will only make for better photographs for you, so here are a bunch of things that make me me.

ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY:

I’ve been running Alanna Danae Photography for over six years now, and it’s been an incredible journey! I love how photography challenges me, allows me to be creative and gets me to engage with people I wouldn’t otherwise get to know.

My photos are warm, true to life, and full of genuine connection. I want to get to know you + your loved ones and capture you the way that you are. Honest, real, messy photos are my favourite. Let’s embrace the eye wrinkles, the belly laughs, the imperfections that make us who we are.

I consider it the greatest privilege to be invited in your home, your weddings, your lives. My favourite part about sessions is getting to witness the love between people - whether that’s weddings, a family session, birth, or friends at grad. God designed us to be relational people and I consider it a honour to get to photograph that for you.

LET’S GET PERSONAL:

Here are some more personal things about me!

I’m a believer of Jesus first and foremost, and I love getting to document the love that God has put in our lives!

I got married in 2021 to a wonderful man. I’ve always been a bit of a romantic, but nothing prepared me for the immense joy and happiness that can result from true love - even in the most mundane of days. We had our son in November of 2022, and becoming parents has been the most incredible and rewarding experience of my life.

I like to refer to myself as an “extroverted introvert.” So I love being around people - but I also love being home, watching Netflix on the couch in my comfiest leggings.

I will legit never, ever say no to a Starbucks. In case you were curious, my current favourite drink is a brown sugar oat americano.

Thrifting brings me so much joy. I love aaaall the thrift stores and chances are that if you say you like something I’m wearing, I’ll respond with a, “thanks, it was from the thrift store and it was only five dollars!!” and I’ll be really weirdly proud and excited about that.

I don't like the cold. I'm not a winter or snow person. I know some people think snow is the be all end all of weather, and it's pretty and all, but please get it off my car. And my roads. And my feet.

I am really into good documentaries - it’s my favourite thing to watch while I edit your photos. If you have a really good one I should know about, tell me!!

But more than anything, I love meeting new people (weird for an official introvert, right?) But I LOVE getting to really know people. I love hearing about people’s stories. I love making new friends. I love taking photographs and adventuring together and talking together and I’m SO happy that photography allows me to do all those things.

So hit me up – I’ll be so happy that you contacted me I’ll likely do a happy dance.
