Hello there!! I’m Dana Pugh and I have been a photographer in the Calgary area since 2005. In 2011, I was named the first ever International Child Photographer of the Year by the National Association of Professional Children’s Photographers for my work in 2010. Since then, I have been telling the stories of adventurous families and brands while mentoring hundreds of photographers on how to build sustainable businesses designed to nurture their creative hearts while supporting their families. Have a look around at my portfolios and my blog. If you have any questions or would like to work together, please reach out via my contact form.
