Based on 171 reviewsWe had the best experience with Dakota photographing our newborn. She really has a magic touch, our little man was so cozy during the whole session. Dakota was very quick at getting our pictures back to us and we couldn’t be more grateful for her ability to capture these precious moments.Kailie Pemberton2024-08-07The SWEETEST photos for my daughter’s cake smash!! She’s so creative with backdrop, getting the kids to smile! Everything! Highly recommend!Kate Glassell2024-07-18Dakota is a true professional and a master at her craft, from the moment we stepped into her studio she provided a 5 star experience and knew exactly what to do! We are over the moon with the photos she took of my maternity and our newborn and we will cherish these for the rest of our lives! ✨ Thank you so much!Andrea Schultz2024-05-22Absolutely above and beyond service! I lost my pictures from 2017 and she was able to find them for me. I am honestly shocked that she went to the trouble and still had them. I wish she was in the Colorado area because I would hire her again and again if I could. I cannot recommend her more! Seriously, she was an amazing photographer and had the best energy and now this! She's a rare breed!Casey Jones2024-02-14We had a great experience with Dakota for our maternity and newborn photos. She has a wide selection of maternity dresses to choose from and she was so helpful with ideas too. I felt comfortable from the moment we walked in and our photos turned out absolutely beautiful.Shannon2024-02-08She’s extremely talented at what she does! She goes above and beyond. We absolutely loved every photo. We’re always using modern newborn photographyNeshia M2024-01-30Dakota is beyond talented with what she does. Got my edits today and OH MY GOODNESS they're incredibly edited and captured. From your skin looking super realistic but flawless at the same time to just the colors. So excited for our newborn session once our little one is here. I also want to give a shout out to her amazing assistant Regly. Regly was so caring and sweet with me, and contributed so much to helping me get into the groove of taking pictures. I was so insecure about being in front of the camera and between them two I eventually started to feel beautiful.mimikinsz122023-09-26Modern Newborn by Dakota is definitely the place to go for anyone looking to do a photo shoot. Drove almost two hours to her location & it was well worth it. Overall it was a great experience as my first time, from feeling so welcomed when arriving, to helping me not feel shy in front of the camera, to a closet full of different outfits to choose from & to putting my own ideas together to make my pictures come out perfect. I’m in love with my pictures, truly talented you’re amazing ! **sneak peak one out of fifteen pictures**Tatiana Jusino2023-07-28She is amazing!! Everything came out prefect! Very kind and patient with us and my daughter.Anna Nguyen2023-07-24Extremely satisfied with Dakota's work. She did not only take amazing photos, she took her time to provide what I was looking for. Highly recommend!! Can't wait to go back with my little nugget!Karin De La Pava2023-06-17

Capturing Timeless Moments
MY PORTFOLIO
Maternity
Your maternity session celebrates a big milestone for your growing family. Whether its your first baby or you’re already a seasoned mama, I encourage you to document all of that love and anticipation you have for your sweet baby.
Newborn
As a Newborn Photographer in the city of Tampa, I have the incredible privilege of freezing those precious moments in time when a new life enters the world.
Milestone
Babies evolve so much the first year! I photograph your babies milestones at 3 months where they are giving eye contact, smiles and learning tummy time, 6 months where baby is sitting up unassisted, discovering their cubby feet, grabbing them and putting them into their mouths.
Cake Smash
Oh, get ready. You’re about to see the most perfectly styled, beautiful cake smash sessions on the internet right now. I’ve been featured in a ton of publications for my creative sets and lucky you I’m local!!
Hi, I'm Dakota
I’m a Mom to two beautiful babies with a passion for capturing life’s most treasured moments. I learned while watching my own two kids grow that time is fleeting. Our babies change in front of our eyes and those milestones are easily lost in the busiest of days.
My mission is to capture all those sweet connections between you and your babies so that you will have them to treasure for years to come.
