Hello, I’m Danielle.
My love for babies goes back as far as I can remember. I even originally set out to be an OBGYN. But during freshman Biology class, I realized that my love of the miracle of life and journey of family were best served from afar in an observant and creative capacity. 🙂
I am a proud ally and inclusive of all families. There is something truly special about being a part of such profound and special moments. Whether I’m photographing a birth, maternity belly bump or your brand new babies, I’m always so humbled and honored that you allow me to capture this most special time in your life.
I was born & raised in Savannah and graduated from the University of Georgia. My husband, three sons and I have moved around often as a military family, we now enjoy living in the Washington DC suburbs. Northern Virginia has so many wonderful people, so much history and an amazing culture in the DC Metro area. After 15 years in business, I was lucky to find a dream studio! I now have a 1700 sqft studio in the historic town of The Plains, VA, located in the the beautiful Hunt Country of Virginia. I love creating timeless images for my clients either in my studio, in your own home or around the many beautiful locations in the DMV.
I pride myself with capturing the smallest and most precious moments that are few and fast. My greatest pleasure is presenting a family with these memories frozen in time so that they will always remember exactly how they were feeling. The love is palpable! My photography sessions are much like me, honest, laid back, and above all REAL! My friends and family are my life and the knowledge of that special bond manifests itself in my work and philosophy.
The things I love:
coffee
baby toes
the beach
netflix
friends, the office & TWD

As a mom of 3, I understand how important it is to capture these fleeting days. As they say, the days are long but the years are short. It goes by in the blink of an eye and before you know it they are these almost grown humans. I look back on the pictures I have of my own kids and I’m always drawn to the images that I try to capture for my clients. The unposed moments, the unique expressions and traits that you one day might forget, their personality that comes through even as a newborn. It’s all a part of your real story.
For the safety of my family as well as yours, I am fully up to date with all vaccines and follow best practices for safety.
I look forward to meeting you and your family and helping to capture those priceless memories!
