Welcome to one of the most wonderful & empowering experiences you'll have as a woman: taking time, just for you, to perfectly capture your beauty and femininity in the form of fine art. I work closely with you to provide an amazing experience you won't forget. I can't wait to show you how beautiful you are.
From as early as I can remember, I had a camera in my hands. My first one was a simple point and shoot 35mm from Disney World with a Mickey Mouse face on it. From that day on, I was hooked! I would always take my camera to school with me, photograph every moment with my friends, and constantly ask my sister to model for me (sorry sis!).

Services
Boudoir sessions include professional hair and makeup, an in-studio photo shoot and an in-person photo reveal. I take the utmost responsibility in my clients' privacy and therefore share very few images online. Dana does such an amazing job. She is talented and loves her work! At the time of my boudoir session I was a mother of 2. What a fun day to get dolled up and feel so beautiful!
Includes professional hair styling and makeup application, a consultation call, sixty minute boudoir session, time for up to 3 outfits, and a private photo reveal appointment 2-3 weeks after your session to view and order your photo products a la carte. Also perfect as a maternity pampering experience!
As wives, we have to fight every day for our marriage and this is a great way to do that. Men are constantly bombarded with sexual images and it's important to stay focused on each other as much as possible. In the same respect, the way media makes women feel today, every woman can use this experience to boost their self-confidence and give themselves the opportunity to see the beauty I see in them.
Your session will take place at my in-home, private studio where you'll be pampered and have the chance to relax from the busyness of life in a warm and inviting space. I provide drinks and snacks (since I know you've probably been starving yourself!) and a fun playlist of music to keep the party going.
Whether you would like to setup a phone call to find out more information or just want to know more about a session, please feel free to get in touch. You can send a quick message using the contact form here and I will get back in touch with you within 1-2 business days. Please keep in mind, a session needs to be booked about 4-5 weeks before the time you need your gift.

Dana is absolutely amazing! This was one of the best experiences of my life. The confidence boost that it gave me was one I had been needing and looking for. Especially since I've gained some weight in the last 2 years. I had no expectations going into the session and I was blown away by everything. I was shocked and I couldn’t believe it was me in the pictures. I honestly think I might have missed my calling as a lingerie model! This was exactly what my soul needed!

I am so happy I got my maternity photos done by Dana! She has an amazing studio in her house and tons of great outdoor locations to shoot at super close by. My husband and I had so much fun shooting with her. She’s so talented and edits the photos beautifully. Within less than 2 weeks she sent them to me and I love so many that I can’t even choose which are my favorites. I would recommend her to anyone!!

Dana is truly the best photographer ever! She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I look at them every day because I love them so much! The photos speak for themselves because she takes such beautiful pictures but she also makes you feel super comfortable while you're being photographed. During our engagement session she was able to capture both of our personalities as well as the love we share for eachother, even though my husband really doesnt like to take pictures. Our wedding pictures are unbelievable! She was so organized and took the time to find out and make a list of everything

Talented, professional and amazing best describes Dana Laymon. She uses her gift to plan, capture and create beautiful memories. During my daughters wedding, Dana intuitively seized the moments and delivered the most heartfelt images of the day . The photos are absolutely breathtaking – every last one of them. As a marketing executive, I have worked with many photographers over the years and Dana Laymon has proven herself to be one of the best I have worked with. Dana’s professionalism and talent clearly shines through in her actions, final photos, and the final print offering. Cheers to you

Because Dana is getting her business under way only here in the last few years she is someone you have to search through all the others to find. I was anxious to find a photographer who captured the details and emotions and feel of the event without all of the editing of lighting/coloring that just doesn't look real. I wanted our photos to look natural and as the event actually was. Dana is attentive, works to capture the pictures you want, and doesn't miss a beat. She even drove to Raleigh, to get pictures of us in our hometown...which you absolutely cannot find without an outrageous cost anywhere

Dana is the most excellent photographer. She is organized, professional, flexible, and has a truly unique talent. We initially started with our engagement pictures and Dana did such a fantastic job of listening to us and what we wanted while also providing new ideas for beautiful pictures that we will always treasure. The wedding pictures turned out better than we could have imagined and Dana did such a fantastic job of capturing our favorite moments from the event. I would recommend Dana to anyone getting married in NC

Dana is an amazing photographer. She truly has a gift and a love for the art of the vision through the lens. It comes out in her work. As a bride planning an out of town wedding, Dana became my 4th bridesmaid, suggesting vendors, meeting with me on my time and schedule, and even helping me choose where to buy my bridesmaid dresses!! Yes, I found her: the perfect photographer. She has a warm light about her that makes talking easy and friendship easier. Not only was she a huge help before the wedding, the day of, I could not have been more pleased with her. She got all of the shots that I asked

Dana was a critical part of the overall success of my wedding! She is a fantastic photographer, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her. Before the wedding, she had me create a Pinterest board of some wedding photos and poses I liked. Pinterest was my go-to source of inspiration, and it was tremendously helpful for me to communicate my style and vision through this type of media. Dana was able to recreate many of my favorite shots with impeccable style. She got our photos completed and ready to share with the world quite quickly, and my husband and I were so impressed with the website Dana made
