Hi, I’m Danielle—a 33-year-old wife, mama, and storyteller at heart, living in the beautiful landscapes of East Tennessee. I’m a Christian, saved by God’s grace, and I’ve been married to my best friend for 11 wonderful years. Together, we’re raising two amazing kids, Elianna and Huxton, who constantly remind me of life’s sweetest, fleeting moments.

Family is everything to me, and my empathic heart drives my passion for capturing the genuine love and connection that makes each family unique. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me soaking up the great outdoors—camping under the stars, hiking trails, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature with my loved ones. I’m also a coffee enthusiast, a wanderlust dreamer, and someone who never says no to tacos and margaritas. Let’s turn your family’s story into cherished memories that last a lifetime.

Creativity has always been a big part of my life, and photography became my greatest passion thanks to a thoughtful gift from my husband. Back in 2015, while I was in college, he surprised me with my first DSLR camera to take along on our hikes. I started out capturing the beauty of nature in landscapes, experimenting with manual mode, and discovering the magic of freezing a moment in time. But everything changed when I became a mother in 2017. Suddenly, photography became so much more—it became a way to preserve the fleeting, tender moments of motherhood and family life.

In June 2021, after years of hesitation, I finally took a leap of faith and turned my love for photography into a professional business. Fear of failure held me back for so long, but I’ve come to realize that was Satan’s way of keeping me from God’s calling for my life. Stepping into this journey has been a true act of faith, and I’m constantly reminded that God is at the center of it all. He’s guided me every step of the way, and I strive to make my life and brand a reflection of Christ’s love and grace.

The Story

Fun fact: During my sessions, you can count on a soundtrack of Jesus music filling the air & I always take a moment to pray over my clients before I arrive. It’s a privilege and a blessing to do this work, and I’m so grateful to share it with you.

my Inspirations

I’m here to capture your family’s unique story, just as you are—beautiful, messy, and full of love. My approach is all about creating artful, genuine, and intentional images that reflect the heart of your family. During our session, I want you to slow down, breathe deeply, and fully embrace the love you share with your spouse, kids, or loved ones. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about celebrating the raw, real, and wonderfully chaotic moments that make your family one of a kind.
My goal? To make your session feel less like a photoshoot and more like a fun, stress-free experience where your family’s true personality can shine. Trust me, as a mama myself, I understand how precious these moments are. Our kids grow and change so quickly, and my heart is to preserve this chapter of your story in a way that feels honest and full of life. Let’s embrace the chaos together—it’s where the magic happens!

My Philosophy

A session with me is relaxed, fun, and completely child-led because I believe the best moments happen when your family feels free to just be yourselves. Trust the process—you don’t need to worry about perfection here. We’ll share plenty of laughs, embrace the silly moments, and if there’s a meltdown or two, that’s perfectly okay. Those little moments of chaos are part of the beautiful, authentic story of your family. Let’s lean into the joy, the messiness, and everything in between to create memories you’ll cherish forever.

Motherhood and my family are at the heart of my business. Becoming a mom showed me just how quickly time passes and how important it is to capture the fleeting moments we share with the ones we love most. Every season of life with your family is worth documenting, from the laughter to the quiet hugs. There’s so much beauty in the simple, everyday moments, and those are the memories I want to preserve for you to cherish forever.
