I would say hire her for any and all important moments! The photos are beautiful and working with her was a treat. We couldn't have asked for someone more kind, thoughtful, generous, and truly passionate about her work and the people she was working with - everything felt so specific to us as a couple and the wedding that we wanted and the things we wanted to capture. The process from start to finish couldn't have been more seamless, easy, and enjoyable. And now we have memories we will be able to look back on and feel right in the moment again.

"COULDN't have been more seamless."

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dani made everything feel easy and natural. I had no idea how she captured the moments she did, they were truly a gift to look at when everything seemed like a blur!I still get teary-eyed when we look at these photos. We will cherish these forever.

"EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR."

Thank you so much for the absolutely gorgeous photos for Kim & Josh's wedding. You are so incredibly talented, and your gift and sweet, sweet spirit blesses so many people. The moments you captured are truly a reflection of your heart, and I just can't tell you how grateful we are! Thank you so much & God Bless.

"TRULY A REFLECTION OF YOUR HEART."

Dani has been there for so many of our special moments.. engagement photos, wedding, maternity and first family photos!! We LOVED her from the moment we met her and I obsessed over her photos on Instagram before hiring her over 4 years ago and I continue to obsess over her photography. She is not only an extremely talented photographer but she is truly an amazing human. We have no talent for having our photo taken and are both fairly awkward during the process, but she somehow finds a way to capture the sweetest moments and guide you to make photos turn out spectacular! I wouldn’t go to anyone else for future photos and Highly recommend her! Remember you get what you pay for and the quality and overall experience you get with Dani is worth every penny!!

"YOU CAPTURED THE BEST MOMENTS!"

I knew we needed to go with Dani after seeing her pricing guide, it was so beautiful! Her whole process from start to finish made me feel so important and like I was her only bride even though I know she had tons! She captured the best moments, was not a "diva" about it but like a friend who knew exactly what I needed at every moment. She even helped get me sometime alone after the wedding when everyone was coming up to us! The photos were just the cherry on top. They were, of course, beautifiul and beyond what we could have imagined. I think we even got them back in less than two weeks. Thank you Dani for being exactly what we needed and beyond!

FROM MY COUPLES

Recent Love Letters

I'll tell you a secret, EVERYBODY that books me tells me they are awkward. I'm telling you, it's not true. Give me 10 minutes and I'll have you frolicking with your bestie, having a blast- yes, EVEN while getting your photos taken. I'm not the girl that's going to tell you to stand still and say "cheese."  I'll prompt you, move that hair out of your eye and give you feedback, but nothing we do is static and posed. I specialize in candid, emotion-filled imagery that give you all the nostalgic, feely-feels. The secret to photos you will look back at and love years later is to be YOU and it's my job to bring that all out. 

I'M NOT A REGULAR PHOTOGRAPHER, I'M A COOL PHOTOGRAPHER.

Raw images are unedited images. No. Giving you raw images is like serving you uncooked chicken and NO ONE wants that! Editing is what sets your photographer apart from others. It's like our art form. 

DO YOU GIVE RAW IMAGES?

I will sometimes build you a custom package if I feel that your needs are not as extensive as those in my collections. I also offer discounts to travel locations where I either might already be or are on my "bucket list." Couples that book a wedding or elopement get a discounted engagement session if wanted. 

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?

You will receive an email link to a beautiful, customized, password-protected online gallery. A USB can be provided upon request.

HOW DO YOU DELIVER PHOTOS?

On average, I deliver about 75-100 edited images per hour at elopements and weddings and 75-100 edited images total from a full couples session. A larger family, wedding party or wedding with a second shooter yields more photos per hour. 

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO WE GET BACK?

This is something that I feel sets me apart from other photographers- I know how badly you want those photos back! I deliver a sneak peek in 24-48 hours and a full wedding within 1-4 weeks depending on the season. 

WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?

Upon booking, I'll send you a link to my outfit guide and a Pinterest board with TONS of inspiration for outfits and colors that photograph well.

WHAT DO WE WEAR TO A SHOOT?

Absolutely not- you get EVERY image I edit, no picking and choosing. Yes this is A LOT of images but if it's hard for me to choose my favorites, I know it's too hard for you too! 

DO WE HAVE TO CHOOSE IMAGES?

I will definitely remove obvious blemishes, stains, honey-buckets- that sort of thing no matter what. If you have a bigger request like removing a person or changing a color that isn't obvious, make sure we chat first. I don't do a ton of photoshopping as I want you to look like YOU but I'm happy to do an occasional face-swap or background change if you request after receiving your photos. I can't make you look like Blake Lively if that's what your asking... one can dream though. 

HOW MUCH RETOUCHING DO YOU DO?

I require a non-refundable retainer fee to book your date, and once we book, I don't take on other projects at that time. If it is far enough in advance and I have availability, I can apply your retainer to a new date but can't guarantee it will be available.
