a documentary approach for joyfully unscripted moments
preserving life's most tender & heartfelt moments
Welcome, I’m Danielle — A lifestyle and documentary family photographer based in the heart of East Tennessee, though I’m always ready for an adventure wherever your story takes me. I specialize in capturing the beautiful chaos of family life, the glow of motherhood, and the tender moments of welcoming a new little one. From the intimacy of maternity and newborn sessions (studio or lifestyle) to the raw emotion of birth, fresh 48, and even wedding photography, my passion is telling stories that are uniquely yours. Let’s create timeless memories filled with love, laughter, and the moments that matter most.

Your Most Tender Moments Waiting To Be Documented
My goal is to capture heirlooms of memories made with your family that will last a lifetime. I strive to capture the essence of you and your family in the season of life that you are currently in, in the most genuine and authentic way. When your children look back on these heirloom images, let it be a beautiful reminder of the love, joy and connection during that time.
"Danielle is the absolute best! She is so incredibly easy to work with, she has the best visions for her photos, she never makes you feel rushed even during a mini session, and she does great with small children. She has been our family photographer since we had our son 3 years ago and we continue to book her time and time again. We look forward to every session we have with Danielle. We not only love her as a photographer, but as a person. You won’t find anyone that is sweeter or warmer. She is simply the best. We are so thankful for her and her talent and what she has captured for us in the last three years!"

"We have done 4 sessions with Danielle over the years and she is just truly the kindest and most patient person. We have 3 young kiddos and Danielle is able to make them laugh and smile effortlessly. The photos are always incredibly stunning and the hardest part is not hanging every single one on the walls all over our house!! Her passion for photography is evident and she truly cares about her clients. Danielle is such a dream to work with and we will continue using her for many years to come!! "

"Danielle has captured some of the most important moments of my life. And she’s about to capture our last baby being born. I cannot recommend her enough. Her creativity is unlike anyone else. On top of that, if you have a husband who hates getting pictures done, same, but my husband loves when Danielle gets to spend time capturing moments of our family. He described it as so natural you forget you’re getting your picture taken. She’s not only become one of the sweetest friends, but my kids are constantly asking when they get to see Danielle again it’s more than pictures and you can tell."

"Danielle makes you feel very comfortable and at ease! Even if you are stiff and uncomfortable with posing in front of a camera, she helps guide you the whole time and you’ll never be able to tell in the photos. When my husband and I eloped on Roan Mountain, Danielle went above and beyond to capture the best day of my life! Even though it was 40° weather with heavy rain she was there trucking up that mountain with me in the best mood, I’m not sure anyone else would be like that. I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough to capture your special moments."
