Hola, Nosara!

Soy Davina. With over 15 years of experience as a professional photographer and educator, I've journeyed across the globe to document stories and teach the art of visual storytelling. Today, my roots are planted in Samara, Costa Rica, the sacred land my family and I call home.

Here, I continue to nurture my passion for photography because I believe that everyone deserves to exist in photos. Whether you're seeking family moments, empowering portraits, or content for your social media, I'm here to craft images that truly reflect you.

Consider this your invitation—because everyone deserves to exist in photos.

What my clients are saying…

"We are sooo happy and very touched with how it came out! Everything looks so flowy and natural. No fake or forced smiles no awkward faces. You have an amazing talent combined with a beautiful personality. We were remembering the photoshoot day and to be honest I kind of forgot you had your camera all that time. It felt like an afternoon with you in our family. And this is not only because you are incredibly talented but because it was fun being with you and it changed everything. Thank you for letting us live that experience. These pictures will always be cherished."

Martine & Vlad, Day-in-the-Life Session
"I am so happy! It's so interesting to see myself like this, if feels like a completely different way of perceiving myself, but at the same time it feels like me. Thank you for this, I loved the experience and I loved been photographed by you!"

Mariana, Mini Portrait Session
"The photos are amazing! Thank you so much for this experience. I had a really beautiful time with you. You made me feel comfortable and safe to be me. I am grateful to have these beautiful shots. There are some really powerful captures and I am really excited to use them for my website build and social media feed."

Kelly, Beach Portrait Session
"I am weeping. These are so precious to me. You have truly captured my essences… the ones that sometime get buried because the “freedom windows” are not always open to express them. I felt so relaxed and accepted for who I was with you... I could be the wild crone, the playful yogi, the contemplative alchemistress. This is an intense time of my life as I knock on some “later year doors” and peek inside. There are many lifetimes wrapped up in these photos and I see “her” on all of them. Thank you for creating a true safe space for her to be present."

Donna, Beach Portrait Session

Beach Portrait Session

These sessions are an opportunity to play, to get messy, and to be yourself. With the luxury of more extended sessions, we have the time to connect, ensuring the images I craft are authentically and uniquely you. Feel free to switch up your outfits, and with the magic of the sunset, we can play with a diverse range of lighting

Family Photography

They grow up so fast. It’s a cliche, but true! These sessions are about capturing your family at this moment in time. While I make sure to grab that one perfect shot where everyone looks their best, my philosophy is to let the kids lead. Let them play, be together, and revel in the messiness of the moment. I'm here to capture it all, ensuring that each personality shines through.
