I see you there, mama. You are working so hard to choose coordinated outfits for the family photographs you have always hoped to hang on your wall. Between online shopping and meal planning, the entire ordeal feels so overwhelming and you're thinking maybe it's just not worth it.

A snapshot into my life

1 / 5

If there's only one thing to learn about me, it's that everything I do is for my family. At my core, I'm a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.

It was my junior year of high school when I first hopped across the pond to England and the moment I set foot on land I was officially hooked.

Since that marvelous trip abroad, I've been all around the world and visited so many incredible places. When I'm not photographing, editing, or chasing around a crazy toddler--you'll find me planning our next trip to somewhere new!

Traveling

When the pandemic hit in early 2020 everyone did what they needed to to cope. Some people hoarded toilet paper, others started making homemade bread...

We started a Babydoll Sheep farm here in Southwest Virginia and now have five adorable little lambs. Luckily my husband has a lifetime of experience in farming or it would have been just plain crazy!

The first thing I wanted to do when I got my very own apartment in college was adopt a dog. It was this lifelong dream I'd had ever since I was a kid and, despite my parents reservations, I did it.

We now have four doggos, one cat, and five sheep. It's safe to say I exceeded even my wildest expectations.

Being a photographer to me is in my blood. It's attached to me like another limb. It's who I am, and who I always will be. I'm intensely dedicated to what I do as a family and wedding photographer, and I hope that it resonates throughout my work, my reviews, and my life.

Danielle’s patience and kindness set such a positive tone for our newborn session. She worked around the chaos in our new home to get the nursery + newborn shots of my dreams! I will always treasure the timeless photos she captured of our new family.
