Hey There!
I’ve been photographing weddings and families for 14 years. After becoming
a mom myself (that’s Fischer and Merritt in the photo on the left), I really understand the importance of family photos. I also understand how all family dynamics are different, toddlers are wild and unpredictable (and adorable), babies don’t stay small forever, and I truly think your photo session should reflect your family in this exact moment.
I’m not here to make cookie cutter perfect photos. I’m here to capture candid moments during our time together. If you’re here for perfectly posed, smile at the camera type photos, I’m not the right photographer for you.
Play with each other, love each other, pretend I’m not there. I want to capture the real you, the wild, the fun, the silly, the happy. My personal favorite photos of my own family and others, are the ones where everyone is having fun and not focused on perfection. If this sounds like you and what you want, then let’s set up a session.
I’m based IN CALIFORNIA’S Bay Area but WILL travel anywhere for OUR CLIENTS AND THEIR AMAZING weddings/family sessions! We can't wait to meet you and learn more about your story!
Our Story
I'm Danielle! I have two little boys, Fischer and Merritt, and I'm married to my high school sweetheart Adam. We currently live in Livermore, right near our best friends and our families. But we LOVE the Central Coast, and it's our home away from home. We both went to Cal Poly SLO, which is where we learned how much we love it there.
We love renovating houses! We've done 3 now, and 2 of which are airbnb's (come stay!). When I’m not photographing families or weddings, you’ll find me thrift store shopping, hanging with my friends (I'm an extrovert!), catching up on countless TV shows, vacationing at one of our airbnbs, or doing something fun with Adam and our boys. People are always surprised to find out that this girls’ favorite music is rap, but I just say it’s because I’m from the Bay Area! I have always been a dreamer and a doer; I set big goals for myself, which nothing will stop me from achieving. I truly love my job, and can't imagine doing anything else. I've been doing photography since I was 19, so this really is my passion.
