Bring On The Baking: Sweet At-Home Family Photos with Petite Sweets

Lifestyle Family Photos with Petite Sweets

At-Home Family Photos

Spending the afternoon with the Holmes family for their lifestyle family session was so much fun! They are so down to earth and playful and you can’t help but smile being around them! I’ve worked with Rachael in the past, but it’s always to photograph her confectionary creations and decadent deserts at Petite Sweets bakery! I was entirely too excited to work with her sweet family and capture gorgeous family photos for them!

The session took place in their Johnson City area home, which Rachael has decorated to look like something out of an HGTV magazine–retaining a very comfortable and homey feel. Of course, her kitchen is truly gorgeous! I couldn’t get enough the beautiful aqua colored cabinets (which are not featured too often on her Petite Sweets Instagram feed), so I was sure to get lots of shots!

Johnson City Family Photos

I admire Rachael so much. She started her baking business, Petite Sweets, several years ago and went from having a cupcake bus to an ever expanding bakery in the heart of Johnson City, Tennessee. Since her early baking days, she has made hundreds and hundreds of cakes–a ton of which I’ve had the privilege of photographing (and tasting) at weddings!

This lifestyle family session was extra special, because Rachael was celebrating a rather important milestone. She wanted to ring in her thirtieth birthday with a glamorous photoshoot and I was here for it! She had a beautiful balloon installation from A Super Party to help us celebrate! We wrapped up the birthday extravaganza shoot with some stunning sunset images of her little family in the field full of flowers adjacent to her house. It was such a diverse collection of photos and I truly love each one of them!

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:
