Virginia-Based, Destination-Friendly
While, of course, I’m here to capture every portrait on your list — most of the time I’m seamlessly blending into your day so I can photograph everything as it’s happening.
Think less time pulling you away to “get that shot!” and more time for you to be present and in the moment with your loved ones, because that’s when you get those magical photographs that make you feel like you’re right back in that moment when you revisit them.
ARTFUL, HEIRLOOM-QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CAPTURE THE REAL YOU

WEDDING
Your mom zipping you into your wedding dress in your childhood home, the group shot of your college friends, your husband’s little brother helping his grandmother get into the limo, the look you and your partner share right before your first dance… you’ll want to remember all of it — both the moments you’ve been dreaming of forever, and the ones you’ll be pleasantly surprised by.
I specialize in capturing both the expected and the unexpected, so you can be fully present with your loved ones on one of the most exciting days of your life.
engagement
The perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other before your wedding! And also the best excuse to get a little touchy-feely with your boo — I promise, I won’t make you feel weird about it.

PHOTOS FOR EVERY IMPORTANT LIFE EVENT
Maternity Photography
An awe-filled moment to appreciate and remember the ever-expanding amount of love you already have for this little one.
Newborn Photography
Capture those sleepy, dream-like newborn moments, because sleepless nights have a way of making those memories a bit hazy.
Family Photography
Family sessions that catch authentic snapshots of your never-still and always-growing family.

“Danielle is so fun, so personable, and so easy to get along with, which made posing in front of her camera
—rachel & cody
She helped coach us through the poses and has a wonderful eye for locating the perfect backdrops. She took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and made sure to know what we wanted to have highlighted for our big day! I am so thankful for all the memories she has helped capture for us to look back on for years to come! I have so many compliments on our wedding photos and would recommend Danielle time and time again!”

Film Magic
If you’re a sucker for that nostalgic and grainy look of film, I’m right there with you! The way it absorbs the light, practically etching the moment in time? Swoon.
With one too many film cameras sitting on my shelf, they’re practically begging me to bring them to your wedding just so they can focus their lens on you. Don’t think your wedding will be complete without film photos?
You’re a couple I wanna hang with if these values are high up on your list, too.
Connection
You value nurturing relationships with friends and family, new and old. The tight hug your dad gives you when he walks you up the aisle. The tears that come from laughing too hard with your friend. And the tears that come from reminiscing with your partner. That’s really what it’s all about.
inclusion
I’m here for every single love story, no if’s, and’s, or but’s. At the core of this business, I believe in equality for all human beings, regardless of race, gender or sexual identity, or physical & mental ability.
good times
Your wedding is a celebration and you want to have the time of your life. You’re not here to take yourself too seriously. Of course you want things to go as smoothly as possible, but when they don’t? You’re able to pivot and laugh about it later.
“Danielle makes you feel comfortable in your session, is great at guiding you, and has a great eye. She knows when to capture the best moments.”
