Hi, I’m Deena.

I’m a photographer and storyteller at heart—drawn to the quiet in-between moments, the ones that feel effortless and deeply true. I believe the most beautiful images are rooted in connection: a glance held a second longer, a laugh that spills out unexpectedly, the way love shows up when no one is performing.

I find inspiration in travel, in people, and most of all, in the two tiny humans who call me mama. They’ve taught me how fleeting this season is—and why preserving it with care matters so much.

My work is timeless, elevated, and story-driven—imagery meant to be felt, not just seen. Photographs you’ll return to years from now and remember exactly how it all felt.

Based in Portland, Oregon. Available worldwide.

If you’re looking for someone who will hold your story with care and document it with artistry and heart, I’d love to connect.

Photographs that remember the feeling.

One day, I realized how much we ask images to carry. I’ve always been drawn to moments as they unfold—the quiet, unguarded ones. My work is rooted in preservation: creating photographs that don’t just document—but remember.
