My name is Dania, pronounced “Dan-ya”. Perhaps had my parents spelled it like that (sans the hyphen of course), it may be easier to pronounce and I could avoid the awkward “um…is this…um….danie? daniella? diana? daneea?”, but alas…
Who am I? Well, first and foremost, I am nobody without my support staff…um, I mean family. So lets start there shall we?
The Princess and the Bull, Inspirers
My muses. Kennedy, the eldest, has one of the kindest hearts you’ll ever meet. A true peacemaker, lover and princess, who insists on wearing only dresses, tights and “beautiful shoes with bows”. McKenna, 1 year and 362 days her junior, can be summed up perfectly in one statement: a bull in a china shop…almost 100% of the time. When she’s not breaking everything she passes, she’s bold, confident and a true artist. Give her a pen, marker or crayon and the world becomes her canvas.
John Bagyi, General Counsel and Director of Emotional Support
Oh, yeah, and husband of 7 years. The man who has allowed me to pursue my dreams at every turn, cheers me on every step of the way, and sees only the very best in me. He’s my legal genius, proofreader, editor, true voice of logic, and very, very, very best friend.
Now as for me…I’m a graduate of The College of Saint Rose with a degree in Psychology that ultimately turned into a corporate career in Human Resources. Perhaps I should have known better when I was downright giddy over the creative outlets I found myself involved in outside my day job. I quit the corporate world when my McKenna bump hit around the 20 week mark to soak up every moment with Kennedy before her world turned upside down. It wasn’t long after we adjusted to life as 4 (and oodles of self-education) that Kidography by Dania was born…and in a sense, so was I. Besides being a mother and wife (a damn good one at that), I had found a true passion and career path…and haven’t once looked back.
So who I am in a nutshell? Well, I can’t get through a morning without Starbucks, I prefer converse to heels and couldn’t survive without my iProducts. I write like I talk and way over use ellipses…oh, and am convinced to have been an animal in a past life as I’m reduced to tears at the mere sight of a hunter or road kill. I love listening to the laughter of children and families and finding joy in the simple everyday.
Now that you know me, let me get to know you. And trust that the images I capture will be more than just snapshots of what your children look like. Your images will solicit a smile, or even a giggle, as they remind you of the personality traits and quirks that made your little ones so uniquely “them” at that exact moment in time.
