Kids are growing. I shot my first Tulum, Mexico Destination Wedding. It was absolutely a dream come true. My heart was full!  

First Destination Wedding

I gave birth to my daughter exactly two weeks before shutdown. Most of my Wedding got postponed, but my love for Maternity, Newborn and Family Portraits got established.

Only 4% of Certified Drone Operators were women. I was proud to be a part of this group, and let's make it clear, the test wasn't easy!

I left corporate America because my busy schedule didn’t leave room for motherhood. I started Dagna Griffin Creative without knowing exactly where the journey would take me.

She is not only amazingly talented at what she does, but she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet! Hiring Dagna as our wedding videographer was by far the best decision we made during our season of wedding planning.
