ABOUT SECTION
Welcome to Skylar Doak Photography!
I capture seniors, couples, families, college grads, and milestone moments in a warm, vibrant, and natural style that feels fun, relaxed, and completely true to you. My sessions are all about real smiles, genuine laughter, and those in-between moments that happen when you are just being yourself.
I am not just your photographer — I am your hype girl, your comfort person, and your biggest supporter throughout the entire experience. I am bubbly, welcoming, and always cheering you on, making sure every session feels easy, pressure-free, and genuinely fun. I guide you with natural posing, constant encouragement, and a calm, upbeat approach so you feel confident, comfortable, and celebrated every step of the way.
Now, a bit more about myself outside of photography: Currently, I am a student at the University of Northern Iowa and will be graduating in the spring of 2027. I am attending college for a degree in digital media marketing and a minor in digital visualization. I have always enjoyed taking photos for fun — I would hang blankets on my bunk bed and have my siblings pose like I was a professional. I am a member of Alpha Phi and enjoy every moment with my sisters! I even hold a position on the executive team as Health, Wellness, and Accountability — Where I plan our biggest fundraising events and check in on my sisters. Additionally, I am the Director of Photography and Videography for Dance Marathon at UNI!
One last fun fact about me... I studied abroad in Athens, Greece for an entire semester where I met so many great people around the world and hold tons and tons of the most amazing memories. I found myself while abroad and have learned I am absolutely OBSESSED with traveling. I want to move out of Iowa to warmer state within a few years of graduating, but still visit back home often. I would also LOVE travel around the US with my photography business and continue exploring to new countries in the future.
