Everyday Moments Photography bio picture

Hi, my name is Dena Powell and I’m the face behind the camera. I am a combination of studio light (newborns and sitters) and outdoor, natural light photographer specializing in newborns, children, and families. I am located in Lake Nona and have been serving Orlando, Florida and its surrounding areas since 2011. I’m a Florida native, attended Florida State University (Go Seminoles!), and have been in the Lake Nona area since 2001. I’m married with two beautiful children - a boy and a girl. When I'm not taking pictures you can usually find me on a soccer field, doing Crossfit, or at the beach.

I’ve always had a love of pictures. Growing up my camera was always present. A serious interest sparked when I had children and that eventually led to establishing Everyday Moments Photography in 2011. I am one who loves the perfect family portrait where everyone is looking and smiling, but I also love the candid, everyday moments you catch when you just let life happen. That’s what you’ll get if you choose me as your photographer. Please use the Contact tab to inquire about a session. I look forward to getting to know you! :)

Archer’s Birth Story | Orlando Florida Birth Photographer

I met Adrianna at a photography workshop. Who knew I’d be photographing her home birth three years later?! I had just finished up with a hospital birth in Orlando and I knew that she had been laboring all day. I left the hospital knowing I had an hour drive and headed her way. I arrived at 9pm. Adrianna was AMAZING. After 26 hours of labor she gave birth around 3am. It was an amazing experience for me. This was my first home birth. Normally I’m in a hospital positioned up by mom’s head just waiting for the baby to come out. My husband has always said that I need to see a baby born (like he did with our kids) and I finally got to do that. Her little guy was so wide eyed and alert as you’ll see in that very last image.
