An infatuation with live music inspired Bethany’s passion for photography.

Since founding DOLA Photography in 2012, she’s sought to make a positive impact by helping her clients hold on to these meaningful experiences. Bethany strives for her images to do more than simply freeze a moment by also serving as emotional imprints. She infuses her food, fashion, and travel photography with the same dynamic, emotive energy.

Bethany grew up on a 60-acre farm in upstate New York. Today, she divides her time between Philadelphia and New York City. She nourishes her longstanding love of nature by traveling the world, especially to attend outdoor music festivals. She finds inspiration in all things big and small, from a sweeping Outer Banks ocean view to her adopted dog, Jane.

“What drives me during every photoshoot is a still image’s ability to retain the thrill of emotion for years and years.”
