Sioux Falls
photographer &
creative director.
I'm Lloyd Duimstra, founder of Dime LA Media, a full-service creative studio out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Since 2024 I've shot weddings, events, portraits, corporate, and brand content across South Dakota and beyond. The throughline never changes: images that still feel like something years from now.
The best photo is the one that happens naturally. Not over-directed, not over-edited. Just the moment that was already there, held onto. Whether you're planning a wedding, building a brand, or want a few great shots, the approach stays the same: show up prepared, stay present, make it genuinely yours.
The Approach
Three things I hold to on every shoot, from a first inquiry to the final gallery.
Presence over posing
The best photos happen when you forget there's a camera. I work to create a relaxed environment so the real version of you shows up. No stiff hands, no forced smiles, no magazine stares.
Clean, consistent editing
I enhance what's already there rather than transform it into something it's not. The goal is always the same: look back in ten years and still feel it.
Clear communication
From inquiry to delivery, I keep things simple and responsive. You'll always know what to expect and when. No chasing, no guessing.
In Good Company
Sioux Falls is a relationship town. Ten months with Christine Erickson's winning campaign ended with her swearing-in as the city's first woman mayor, photographed by the one she calls her guy. And somewhere along the way, a festival hillside with the mayor who came before her.
