“Before I formed you in the womb,

I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..”

telling stories since 2015…

 

I was born and raised in Southern California, I currently reside here with my husband and 4 year-old son. I have been a wedding + portrait photographer for the past 6 years and I’m so thankful to be married to someone who totally supports my dreams. I first picked up a camera in 2012 when I moved to Oakland, CA and started taking it more seriously in 2015 when I moved back down to Southern California. I officially went full time in 2018 when I had my son after working a regular 9-5. It was such a leap of faith, but I have been so dedicated to making sure every session, every wedding, every engagement with my clients are unforgettable after being in front of my camera.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY DREAM CAREER

Growing up in church, I’ve always known God had a great purpose for my life and in some way, I know my skill of photography is connected to that. I wasn’t one of those kids who automatically knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. But when I picked up a camera for the first time it all clicked..no pun intended!

 

 WHAT I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT

 

TIMELESS EXPERIENCES.

Our time together, wether that be the day you marry the love of your life, your engagement session on the beach, new headshots for instagram, I promise you will leave feeling more comfortable in front of the camera than when you first arrived. I’m there but I like to ask my clients to pretend that I’m not so you have full liberty to be yourself, even with a camera in your face. I am in the business of capturing real emotions!

REAL CONNECTION.

One of my favorite things about this passion of mine is all of the incredible people I have the pleasure of meeting and getting to know. I’m not just a photographer but a story teller, I want to know how you first met, I want to know how he proposed, I want to get to know your family on the day of your wedding, I want to be there beyond your wedding day, when you have children, or get a new dog! I want to be there to capture it all.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS.

I have been shooting for the past 8 years now and I am devoted to delivering high quality, professional images. My style is a combination of warm + modern with high shadows and real skin tones with each image carefully edited individually. I want the feelings that were captured during these moments to mirror what you see when your gallery is finally delivered to you.

TESTIMONIALS

“I booked a session for my bf, for Fathers Day. It was our first time taking professional pictures together, we were super nervous but Danielle was so down to earth and quick, which is good when you have a fussy 1 yr old. :) She knows what she’s doing and does an amazing job! We fell in love with our pictures and will be booking again very soon!”

-BRENDA CORONA

“Like any other couple wishes, we wanted our wedding to be filled with excitement, joy, laughter and fun. It was our big day where all our family and friends were brought together to celebrate this special moment with us. Luckily for us, we had the most amazing photographer who captured all those special moments for us. We want to thank Danielle for all the hard work that she put in that day. She was there from the very beginning where my husband and I were getting ready for our wedding to the very end when everyone was packing up and leaving. She was so much fun to work with and she had so many great posing ideas. She was so determined and detailed to capturing each angle right that she even stepped inside a water fountain and got her entire shoes wet. That right there is dedication. You are the real MVP for that one Danielle. Lol. Nonetheless, Danielle did an amazing job on our wedding day and not only did we gain a new photographer to book our next events for, but we also gained an amazing friend. Much love Danielle. We appreciate you and your work!”

“I have used Danielle twice, for two special occasions and I would recommend her if you are considering taking photos for any event. She is patient, creative, and makes you feel natural and comfortable. She is prepared and on time. Danielle took her time with our family considering we had a crying, uncooperative baby and still managed to get a good shot! She's awesome at her skill, and provided us with the edited pictures in a timely manner! Don't hesitate to consider her for your photography needs!”

“Danielle was referred to me by a fellow photographer and I am so glad we found her. Booking a session for my family was very easy and she got back to me very quickly. I wasn’t sure where to choose for a location but Danielle picked a perfect spot for us. She was very professional and friendly. We have a 19 month old who did not keep still and you would never know by looking at the photos. We got our photos back with in a few days and I loved every single one.

Overall super happy and would definitely recommend Danielle for any photo needs. We will definitely be returning customers.”
