LET’S capture those silly moments

Family Photography
Pricing Guide
Family photography is one of those things you’ll cherish for your entire lifetime—and for the generations after you.
After they've outgrown the outfit, the seasons have changed, and they're no longer quite as little as they'd use to be, these photographs will forever be there, bringing you back to that day like it was yesterday.
But when you invest in me as your photographer, I value the quality of your experience with me just as much as I value the quality of your photographs. Because they go hand in hand.
When you’re feeling totally at ease, smiling and laughing - savoring these wonderfully chaotic moments - the memories and photographs become even more vivid.
hi there,
Hi, I’m Danielle Defayette Smith
Let's be real, there are a LOT of newborn photography options out there, so it means a lot to me to know that you’ve chosen to learn more about working with me.
As a long time hybrid digital & film portrait photographer, I truly adore & cherish each family I photograph.
Of course I love photography — even if I didn’t get paid a single dollar to do this for work, I’d still be obsessed with taking photos every day — but I’m really in it for the couples and families I work with.
Meeting you, hearing your story, and having a great time while
capturing your sweet moments?
There’s nothing better.
and I'm so happy you're here.

“On the big day, I had absolutely
to worry about.
nothing
— ashley & brandon
What more can I say about Danielle and her team?! She was the most FANTASTIC wedding photographer. She made sure the timeline was followed and worked so well with our wedding coordinators. I already have a variety of beautiful shots on display in our new home!”
"I can't stop scrolling through our gallery!
— kim
Danielle was so great and easy to work with! After our first zoom, my fiance and I just knew she was going to be a great fit! She was excellent in planning our timeline, getting things organized ahead of the date, and on the actual day captured so many great moments of our wedding, both posed and candid. I would highly recommend her!!!”
Questions
frequently asked
No, I do not currently offer in-person sales. After our session together, you'll receive your completed images via an online gallery delivered to straight to your inbox!
To officially schedule your date in the calendar, a 30% payment is due when signing the contract and the remaining balance is due one week prior to your scheduled session.
I also offer flexible payment plans if you’d prefer to go that route!
The cost of collection you choose above and any optional add-on items you include are all that you will be charged for--period. If you wish to purchase prints and products from your session, you can do that directly via the online gallery!
Abso-friggin-lutely. I wholeheartedly believe in bringing all the extra gear with me and off camera flash is no exception. Whether we are frolicking in fields full of sunshine or capturing cute images in your beautiful (but not-so-naturally-lit!) home—I’ll be ready to handle the lighting situation with ease.
Totally! You can order them right through your online gallery once you’ve given thought to which ones are your absolute faves that you want up on your walls or in your albums!
When coordinating a family session, there is always the possibility that absolute pandemonium may ensue--I understand!
Although I do not offer refunds, I do I try to be as flexible as possible when it comes to rescheduling due to illness and injuries. Please reach out as soon as possible and we can look at the calendar to find a replacement date that works!
If you’re ready to move forward, let me know which collection you are most interested and send over any additional questions you may have. If it’s a go, I’ll send you a proposal, and once you sign, your session is officially on the calendar!
With photographs that capture the magical chaos of the moments you’re living right now, you’ll have a tangible memory to turn to when the inevitable
“but where did the time go?”
tears come.
