Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Dayna developed interest in special events through her extensive work experiences and college eduction. It was the moment she married her husband, a Paniolo (cowboy) from Hawai’i Island, that she found her passion to help other couples with their own wedding. Their wedding theme was “Mauka to Makai” meaning “from the mountain side to the ocean side” because of where they grew up - similar to how the Naupaka is grown on the mountain side and by the ocean side.

As a child, I fell in love with Hawaii. When the opportunity presented itself in 2015 for me to return to the state permanently, I jumped at the opportunity. I relocated myself and the business to the Big Island, and have been living on the Island of Hawai’i ever since. After serving our nation as an Officer in the Air Force, I went back to school for a Masters in Counseling Psychology and accidentally found a passion for photography. Realizing that I love hearing and seeing the stories that surround us, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Professional Photography and founded Creation Swells Photography.

I wouldn’t trade my job for anything. It’s a huge honor and privilege to photograph passionate celebrations between families and friends. My clients let me into their personal space and trust me to document with honesty and grace their deepest emotions: their love, their tears, their laughs, and their fears. For this I am grateful beyond words. While weddings are 90 percent of my work, they are not all of my work — and honestly, I think that’s a good thing. Shooting families & children keeps me inspired and allows me to see the world differently, which plays into how I document events

Originally from Chicago, I grew up with my mother taking our photos. When I got to be a bit older I started to appreciate those photos and the lifetime memories they captured. I started taking photos for friend's events and gifting my photos at holidays. I was also a middle school teacher for 12 years and also coached the cross country team. I would take photos for the families and eventually blessed to be able to have photography be my full time gig. I love capturing beauty in others that they may not always see in themselves and at once in a lifetime events they can remember; not only the event but the emotions present there.
