intimate, joyful &
authentic

I'm a passionate photographer who lives for capturing the beautiful chaos and joy of family life. Whether we're documenting your growing belly, wrangling toddlers during a family session, or sneaking in some magic during a mini session—I’m here to make sure we have a blast from start to finish.

I truly believe the secret to capturing those real, joy-filled images is simple: have fun with your kiddos! So get ready for lots of laughter, cuddles, tickles, chasing, and all the sweet in-between moments that make your family you.

Yes, we’ll get those picture-perfect “smile at the camera” shots (Grandma will thank us!), but I promise—the photos you’ll fall in love with most are the unposed, authentic ones. The moments of connection, belly laughs, and genuine love are the ones that truly last.

So let’s go make some magic—and memories that’ll warm your heart for years to come.

Maternity sessions are pure magic. ✨

There’s something so powerful and beautiful about capturing this season of life—and it’s truly an honor to be part of it. My goal is to create a relaxed, supportive space where you can feel confident, radiant, and fully present in the moment (yes, you’re glowing, and yes, we’re going to show it off!).

Together, we’ll create stunning images that celebrate your growing bump, your journey into motherhood, and all the love and anticipation that comes with it. Whether you’re dreaming of golden light in an open field or cozy vibes at home, I’ll help bring your vision to life.

Let’s freeze this chapter with timeless photos you’ll treasure forever—because this is a moment worth remembering. 💛

HOW IT WORKS

the process

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1-2 months prior to when you'd like to take the photos will ensure that I have plenty of availability.

    When should I have my maternity photos taken? I recommend around 32 weeks, give or take, when your bump will be round and noticeable but you hopefully aren’t to that uncomfortable stage!

  • Flowy dresses or skirts look great on camera. I love how they bring movement to a photo, and they're also so flattering. It is also fun to incorporate a second outfit that shows your bear belly! Crop tops with jeans or an open front dress is a great option! As for colors, I love neutrals - white, tans, even blues and pastels. I find that bright colors such as oranges, pinks, reds tend to reflect on skin tones. If you're having your family in the photos, I always say it's important to coordinate, but not match. (Avoid putting everyone is the same outfits, i.e. white shirt and jeans)

  • Of couse! I always begin by asking what your vision/style is that you are going for and then offer some suggestions from there.

  • I bring along a few things including a basket or two, a fluffy white blanket and a couple wrap options. I keep my newborn sessions very simple and love to focus more on the interactions of the family with the new addition!

  • Most of the time I will come to you and the session will take place in the comfort of your own home!

  • This will depend greatly on the lighting throughout your home, but the most common spaces are the nursery, living room and master bedroom.

    Danielle is absolutely amazing to work with. We did a destination extended family shoot with her and she did it with ease. She even managed to get great ones of my not always cooperative 4 and 6 year old. Would work with her over and over again and suggest you do the same

    FAMILY PORTRAITS

    Danielle has been taking photos of my family since my oldest son was 6 months old. He turns 6 this October! She has watched our family grow and experienced our milestones with us. My husband hates having his photos taken but she always puts him at ease and makes him feel comfortable in front of the camera. We have two small children that are almost impossible to photograph, but every year, she blesses us with beautiful portraits that fill our home. Danielle’s work is just stunning, and she is our forever family photographer. We will always recommend Danielle...she’s simply the best ❤️

    Danielle was an absolute pleasure to work with! We came in to town to visit family and decided to find a photographer with her editing style. I fell in love with her website and set up a half session. She delivered our gallery so quickly and I was blown away!!! The images of my family I will treasure for years to come. If you want a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, great direction for poses and lets you have fun the entire time, pick Danielle!! :)
