My name is Dane D’Aquila, and I’m a 17-year-old entrepreneur with a deep passion for photography. Growing up, I was constantly inspired by my aunt, who used to do photography, and spent countless hours tagging along on her shoots. Watching her work sparked something in me at a young age, and the moment I got my first camera, I knew I had found my calling.
I officially stepped into the photography business at the start of 2024, and since then, it’s been a nonstop journey of learning, growth, and creativity. In September 2024, I proudly received my LLC, officially launching Dane D Photography. Most recently, I’ve taken an exciting step forward by opening my own in-home studio, allowing me to bring professional-quality shoots into a comfortable and personalized environment.
While running my business, I’m also a high school student and take online college courses to keep expanding my knowledge. On top of that, I manage a part-time job, staying dedicated and focused on building a strong foundation for my future. Photography isn’t just a hobby—it’s my passion, my business, and my way of telling stories through the lens.
