Hi! I’m Danita, and I am the owner and primary photographer at Danita Hosking Photography, which started out in my craft supply and toy-filled basement back in 2015. Since then, through happily serving my photography clients, I have outgrown a home-based business and am currently working out of my commercial studio in downtown Bowmanville, along with a team of assistants and hair and makeup artists who are at the ready to serve you.

I am also a mother of three, and a retired elementary school teacher, so I have extensive experience in working with children, and have some tricks up my sleeve. Education has always been important to me, and when I am not behind the lens or retouching images, you’ll likely find me knee-deep in a photography course online. You can never learn too much! I am a member of APNPI, and was one of 11 Canadians to have the privilege of being trained in-person by Kelly Brown, a world renowned newborn photographer from Australia.

You’ll probably never see me without a coffee in hand, no matter what I’m doing. In my spare time, if I’m not learning something new, you’ll find me knitting while watching a movie, reading, or scrapbooking snapshots of my family and our adventures. (Oh, who am I kidding?!?!? I’m usually cleaning up after my kids, and doing never-ending loads of laundry!)

My goal as a photographer is to make your vision a reality, and ensure that you leave our studio happy, with beautiful images and tangible prints in hand… not just digital files that can corrupt or become obsolete over time. I want you to be able to display your cherished memories on your walls at home, so I print your images at a professional lab for you, as well as include the digital files for every image you have purchased. I’ll guide you through the process from start to finish, helping you to choose wardrobe pieces, locations for outdoor sessions, ways to display your printed photographs, and make sure you are pleased with the results of each and every session.

Customer service is something we take pride in at Danita Hosking Photography, so you’ll never find us booking back to back “mini-sessions.” While I may host the occasional special event, I still ensure that there is plenty of session time for you and your family to become comfortable in front of the camera so I can capture your real smiles and both posed and candid moments. I book a limited number of sessions per month in order to be able to serve you with the attention you deserve, and to make certain that you and all of my clients receive your final images and your printed products in a timely manner. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about our services or printed products. I’m always happy to help!
