Ann Arbor Lifestyle Photographer
HEY! I’M DONNA DU. So Nice To Meet You.
I am a lifestyle and documentary family photographer based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I’m also a mom of three, and my journey with photography began when my first child was born. Like many parents, I found myself wanting to freeze time – to hold onto the fleeting moments of chubby cheeks, tiny fingers, and everyday magic. So I picked up a camera… and never put it down.
Today, I photograph families just like yours – capturing connection, emotion, and the beautiful chaos of real life. My style is a mix of lifestyle and documentary, blending gentle guidance with honest, unscripted storytelling.
Whether we’re playing in the backyard, exploring a local park, or simply spending time together at home, I’m here to help you see the beauty in your now – exactly as it is.
Let’s create something meaningful, together.
Testimonials
We had Donna for a family session at our home when my son was 1 months old. She was so creative and utilized what we had in the house and took the most beautiful, heartwarming photos of our family that I will cherish forever! Both my husband and I are very unphotogenic and feel uneasy in front of cameras. Donna was able to direct us during the session and we couldn’t be happier about how natural the final photos are! We had so many good ones that it was a struggle when I was deciding on which ones to put on our family calendar to gift the grandparents for Christmas! Thank you Donna and I hope we can have you take our family photos very soon again.

Working with Donna was the best experience I’ve ever had with a photographer. She captured so many precious moments from my engagement and wedding. I cannot thank her enough for her sweet demeanor and dedication to making sure our moments were captured perfectly.
Thank you again, with much love from the Smigulec Densmore’s

Donna was amazing! She captured every moment we hoped for and made the whole experience so easy. She helped guide us while still letting us choose what felt right, and she instantly put our kids at ease. Honestly, it felt more like a fun family outing than a photoshoot. The session felt effortless, and the photos turned out even better than we imagined. We couldn’t be happier! We’ll treasure these photos forever—thank you, Donna!
