I'm Danielle, but you can call me Dani.
I love my family, cooking and making adventures big and small. I fully believe in taking advantage of life and creating your own memories. Currently, I live in the south suburbs of Chicago with my husband Corey, our son Theodore and our dog Wrigley, but we all love to explore the midwest together! Our family is big on the outdoors and focusing on what's important in life, people and the moments we get to live each day!
I've been a professional photographer for over 10 years now photographing weddings, elopements, brand and product shots and basically everything in between. I firmly believe moments like celebrating the launch of your business, your one year wedding anniversary, or having a baby or if your baby is graduating college all deserve to be documented. My passion is to document these moments for you in a way that can be showcased for generations to come.

Fun Facts About Me

I've professionally photographed a John Mayer concert.
You Might Be My Client If...
You deserve to feel confident.
You’re not just getting a photographer who tells you to stand there and smile, you’re gaining a new friend who is going to capture you BEAUTIFULLY in a moment that you will want to remember forever. You’re not just posed into an awkward or uncomfortable position in front of my camera. Instead, you’re confidently directed in a way that YOUR reactions and personality shine through! We're going to run around, goof off and have freakin' fun while we're together.
Let's get this party started.
Whether I’m capturing a rambunctious gaggle of siblings, a quiet moment with a brand new baby, celebrating an engagement, or showcasing your brand in the most epic way possible, I’m after the genuine moments. You’ll find no rigid poses or forced smiles in my galleries, just real joy, and true authenticity.
Let’s ditch the rulebook, open the floodgate of possibilities to capture what makes life beautiful. Family photography, lifestyle or anything in between, let’s capture real smiles, belly laughs, messy hair and all!
What They're Saying
"Danielle is absolutely top notch. We had a great experience shooting and she helped us have fun and loosen up when we needed it. She is fun and flexible! And obviously crazy talented. Her vision is extraordinary—she has a way of taking a shot you’d think would look a certain way and completely transforming it into literal art. Her work is so much more than photographs... it is actual art and so cool to be part of."
