My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and true to themselves.

I believe beautiful images come from a smooth, well-organized experience.  From the moment you reach out to the delivery of your images, my goal is to guide you through a seamless experience while keeping the focus on creating beautiful, meaningful moments.

Photography Rooted in Identity, Connection, and Meaningful Moments



Your photographs should hold more than how life looked. They should preserve who you were, who mattered, and the moments that shaped you.


"The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do."


Andy Warhol

More About My Approach

Hi, Im alayna


How can I get to know you without you getting to know me!



I am the face behind Dawn Exposure! What began as a creative interest more than five years ago has grown into a love for thoughtful portraiture, intentional composition, and documenting genuine human connection. It has become a true passion of mine and I love what I get to do! In addition, I am a busy dog mom of 2, Milo and Mozzi. Both are Aussie mixes and they sure keep me on my toes. I am an avid reader and movie enthusiast of all genres. If given the opportunity, I will talk about it for hours on end.  if you feel ready to introduce yourself, feel free to click the Inquire below! Lets get together and get to know each other.

Time changes so many things. It is so important to be able to capture what is happening now.
