Hi!
I'm Danya, the artist behind Jeweled Fern Photography. I create imagery that blends imagination, craftsmanship, and storytelling—whether that means fantasy worlds, gothic elegance, or beautifully grounded portraits. With a love for handmade details, curated sets, and thoughtful editing, I guide my clients through a creative experience that feels both magical and deeply personal. Many pieces in the Fantasy Closet have been made by me; including gowns, headpieces, props, and sets! See what I'm working on now here. Every session is crafted with care, inviting you to step into a moment where you can be seen, transformed, and most of all - an Experience you will always remember!
Want to keep it simple: I can do that too!
Magic does not have to be "obvious".
I capture the magic in everyday images.
I also infuse magic into:
Traditional Portraits – Classic elegance - individual, family, couples, headshots, and more...
Personal Branding – Stand out with imaginative branding imagery- small business, bands, entertainers, cosplayers, and more...
Seniors & Graduates – Celebrate achievements with a session as bold and unique as you! High School, College, and more...
Milestones & Life Events – Mark birthdays, anniversaries, personal triumph, girls night, guys night, events, and more...
How does a Photo Experience Work?
1. Discovery Chat
We begin with a relaxed consultation (phone or video call). You share your ideas, inspirations, and comfort level.
We choose the overall fantasy style or traditional style: light, dark, or something in between, or a pre-set studio theme. A senior shoot with just a touch of whimsy, a headshot for your brand, anything you want to add magic too!
This is where your story starts to take shape.
*If you are choosing a ready-made-theme session we will discuss your wardrobe choices and options.
2. Design & Styling
Wardrobe, headdresses, props, and accessories are selected or custom created. You can select wardrobe online or in studio and come in for your fitting if needed. See the Themes/Wardrobe.
I can design elements to flatter you and support the theme. Guidance is provided for hair, makeup, and preparation.
3. Day of Session
Today is all about you! RELAX. No pressure no worries. Let's have fun, capture lasting memories, and create magic. Whether on location or in the studio; music, refreshments, and many other accommodations are made to ensure you have a wonderful experience.
4. After
You will receive your Keepsake before you go! In a few days you receive your gallery link. I will get to work gathering your best images. You will then be able to view, share, and order! You will have memories that will last a lifetime!
