Hi, I’m Dania Ellingson.

Professional photographer, writer, mom of three, Utah native. Raised by the mountains and obsessed with exploring the intersection between nature and the human experience.


But here’s the most important thing you should know about me: being a mother has made me the photographer and storyteller I am today.

Because it’s only in raising my children that I learned to understand what photos really are– a link to help us feel seen and known. They’re evidence that what we’re doing matters and that our everyday lives are actually magic.

Documenting families in that real life, everyday magic–so they can discover love, connection and awe for the life they’re living right now–is why I do what I do.
