About: Dustyn and the whole “damn” story…

Mackay-based photographer forever catching memories for families and the love that makes them THEM.

Specialising in sun soaked, vibrant, authentic images to match your family’s fun vibe.

Hey! I’m Dustyn –

I’m a mum of three, 30 something, DIDO wife, a coffee appreciation fan club in my own right, a succulent green thumb, reading addict, horrendous run-on sentence user & a former makeup artist.

How it all started

An aunt that’s a professional photographer, a life long love affair with photos, an unheard of pandemic that changed a career trajectory and the world, and three cheeky little kiddos with a mum who is a preservationist by nature…

Our story

Every great journey begins with a story. Mine is no different. Established in 2020, and a makeup artist for many years prior,

Our approach

I’m also a family photographer, who’s beyond passionate about reminding mama’s:

a) they are doing a DAMN good job

b) & they DO *need* to be in the photo with their kiddos AND not beat themselves up about how they look!

And I know (from experience) that if you can get past your negative self-talk (your kids WILL appreciate the photos in decades to come)& simply bite the bullet…

you can enjoy yourself AND treasure your photographic memories with the people that you love.

Love Dustyn. So easy to talk with and wonderful with engaging the kids. Such beautiful visions for her work. Would recommend using DAMN Photographic for your family portraits.
