family session
This session was such a joy! Their families bond was easy to see—full of laughter, inside jokes, and effortless connection. We captured everything from playful group shots to sweet, more candid moments that highlighted just how close they all are. It was a beautiful reminder that family photos only get more meaningful as the kids grow.
This family session was truly one-of-a-kind—combining the sweetness of a first birthday cake smash with the beauty of their beloved horse. We started with playful, joy-filled family portraits, followed by a dreamy cake smash that captured all the messy, happy moments. Including their horse added such a magical, personal touch and made the entire session feel like a storybook come to life.

Family session
This in-home session was the perfect blend of cozy and playful! We started in the kitchen, capturing sweet moments of the family baking cookies together—flour-covered hands, giggles, and lots of love. Afterward, we headed outside for some relaxed, sun-soaked portraits, making the most of the beautiful light and natural connection between them. It was a warm, joyful session that felt just like home.

"Danielle is such a great photographer, she really makes you feel as comfortable as possible and is impressive at giving prompts to kids to get those genuine smiles you see everyday at home. Her quality is a phenomenal value for the price she offers and every photo comes out so professional. I got so many sweet comments on our last session, and even though my kids weren't necessarily cooperating.... something every parent expects going into a photoshoot.... there's no way you'd even tell. Professionalism yet making you feel like her friend at the same time is what you'll get with Danielle!"

Family session
"We have worked with Danielle twice, for family photos in our home and newborn photos at her studio. She made both sessions so incredibly easy, she made my kids and my husband comfortable in front of the camera, was quick to switch up anything that wasn’t working and had so many great ideas for poses that felt natural for our family. I appreciate the time she took to make our sessions special and the photos we have because of them are ones I’ll treasure forever! I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. I’ve tried quite a few photographers for family photos and Danielle is by far my favorite!"
