The Hendricks
Maternity session
The Hendricks family session was such a joy to capture! With three energetic kiddos and a glowing, expectant mama, the love and excitement for their growing family was so heartwarming. We laughed, played, and captured those sweet in-between moments that tell the beautiful story of this special season in their lives.
The Ashleys' in-studio maternity session was nothing short of stunning. The soft lighting and elegant gowns from the client closet highlighted the love and anticipation between this beautiful couple and their sweet daughter. Every image radiates warmth, connection, and the beauty of this growing family.

Maternity Portrait Pricing
"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!"
Emily
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!"

Kristen
