Absolutely Precious Family Photos | Abingdon Family Photographer

Have I ever mentioned how much I love a family lifestyle session? Well, I absolutely do! I think getting to take photos in your home and natural space truly allows me to capture such genuine moments with your loved ones. Especially with small children–they thrive in their own environment and their personalities shine!

When Andrew & Jillian told me they were thinking of doing an in-home session with an Abingdon family photographer I was thrilled! Not just because it gave me an excuse to capture cute family moments with my niece and nephew, but also because I was so excited to shoot a family session with film. There is something just so alluring about the look of film photography and I am truly in love with the results I’ve seen so far!

It’s hard to believe that these two big ol’ babies are now almost a year old! The twins have grown so much in the past eleven months and somehow their parents have managed the chaos wonderfully. Jillian even had picked out perfectly coordinated outfits for the session from Old Navy–which were ADORABLE.

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?

unforgettable

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
