MEET DYONNA
Wife | Mom | Creative
Hey there — I’m Dyonna!
I’ve called Columbus, OH home for over 20 years, though I was born and raised in Youngstown. I’m also a proud wife and mom, and when I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me exploring new places, enjoying live music or comedy, indulging in fine dining, or (let’s be honest) adding things to my closet that I probably don’t need!
What started as a childhood passion for photography has grown into a dream career. Today, I’m proud to own Smith Studios, located in the heart of Downtown Columbus. I’d be honored to welcome you into my space and share this journey with you.
My team and I are dedicated to making your portrait experience effortless and memorable. From the very first consultation, we help shape your vision, guide you through wardrobe and styling, and ensure you leave with timeless images that feel true to you.
At Dyonna James Photography, we’re more than just photos — we craft an experience. Every session includes a personalized consultation, access to curated wardrobe pieces and props, as well as professional prints, digitals, and more.
Take a look through my gallery, and when you’re ready, reach out — I can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.
See you soon!
