I've been taking photos since I was a teen, and I founded Dakos Photography (pronounced DAY-cose) in 2008 after shooting my first high school senior portrait session. I have such a passion for collaborating with clients to create one-of-a-kind, natural portraits that reflect who you truly are. I strive to capture my subjects as their happiest and most genuine selves.
Using an outdoor location, natural light, and a skilled but gentle hand in the post-production of your images, I'll create photographs that show you at your very best. I grew up in the Seattle area, and can't imagine calling anywhere else home. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I'm back to exploring the Pacific Northwest and photographing as many people as I can get in front of my lens.

Clara is a talented photographer and a joy to work with. I had the pleasure of having her do professional headshots for me, and the entire process was seamless and hassle-free from initial coordination through to final edited photos. She made the most of the time during our 30-minute session and expertly directed me in order to get a great shot, all while maintaining a friendly and professional demeanor that made it both a fun and productive experience. The final results of her work truly speak for themselves. I would certainly recommend Clara to anyone seeking top-notch professional portraits

Clara is such a wonderful person to work with! She has utmost professionalism but you will feel completely at ease with her. She will help direct poses and whatnot, but will never make you do anything you don't feel comfortable doing. I only had a short session with her, but she managed to capture so many great, diverse shots. Sometimes I go on full-day shoots and photographers are "slow" to shoot and get only a few good ones, so it's awesome how much amazing stuff she captured from such a short time! Clara shoots both film and digital marvelously. BOOK HER!
