Photography is what I have poured my heart and soul into since I was just a kid with a dream of documenting the most important moments for people through my art.
My photography Is so much more than just my business. It is my passion, my expression, my art, my way of seeing new places, my connection to people, and hearing inspiring stories.
My love story with photography began when I was just five years old at my grandmothers house, when my cousin handed me a little camera and said something along the lines of “take this and leave me alone”. I did exactly that. I went around the house taking pictures of everything that caught my attention. I remember feeling captivated and intrigued by that camera and that feeling followed me into later years. I would take my camera everywhere and take photos of everything; landscapes, friends, sports, prom, basically anything I could. When I first noticed people taking a liking to my work, I was 14 years old and I got my first paid gig, it was a 50th wedding anniversary party. I remember feeling like I was making a difference in the way all of those people would look back on that special celebration, and after that there was nothing else I wanted to do.
Since then I have taken classes learning how to shoot film, develop it, and print in the darkroom. I have worked under many truly talented photographers that saw within me the passion I have for photography, I have connected with people from all around the world and met some truly inspiring humans, I have shot over 100 weddings and counting, and I have photography to thank for all of it.
I make photos that people are ecstatic to share and excited to hang on their walls and show off to all of their loved ones. i make the photographs that will be cherished for years to come. the photos in the hallways that make you stop and look, the ones you can feel, the ones that capture true emotion and connection.
We recently did a photo shoot with Danielle, and when we received the photos, we were over the moon they are so beautiful! This was a casual couple’s shoot in our home to capture real moments, to leave as a legacy to our kids and beyond… and to have for ourselves! Random pictures never seem to turn out frame worthy, something is always off! Now we have photos of us to share and cherish for years to come. I have to admit the concept felt a little frivolous at first, but Danielle was incredibly genuine and had us at ease in minutes. I don’t usually like to have anyone take pictures of me, but I almost forgot that that was what she was doing, we had such a natural, beautiful shared moment of happiness. I feel compelled to share with the world how awesome Danielle is, she will be back capturing images of life in this family!
"Our experience with Danielle was truly special. She exceeded our expectations by a long shot, and she made the entire experience very personal & special. She puts her heart into these photo shoots and it truly shows. She will be the only photographer I go to from now on. If you’re looking for an amazing photographer with an incredible experience to go along with it, I highly recommend going to Danielle. I can promise you will not be disappointed!"
"I had my graduation pictures taken and brought my boyfriend with me for some couple photos with Danielle and she is absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how above and beyond she went to get such perfect pictures. She took hundreds of pictures from every angle you could imagine. she took her time and made us feel so comfortable. Not to mention she drove an hour out of her way so we could have a nice location for the photoshoot. All said and done is was so worth the investment! We ended up receiving well over a hundred edited pictures to chose from! I can not thank Danielle enough for capturing this time in our lives so perfectly!"
