I'm Danielle, MN based wedding and lifestyle photographer, wife, and mama who happens to love telling stories and capturing joy through the lens of my camera. I have a sweet spot for outdoor ceremonies, greenery, boho vibes, brides who aren't afraid to let their hair down, and couples who belly laugh throughout their wedding day.  

Aside from serving my couples, I have a love for traveling, running, reading, sipping hot coffee in a pretty mug (it really does taste better this way!) and being outside. My happy place?! Cold drink in hand, outdoor concert, singing at the top of my lungs surrounded by my favorite people. Also, my house. And let's not forget Target.

Family sessions starting at $275

Lifestyle family sessions are near and dear to my heart. This season of life, regardless of what season you are currently in, is worth documenting. Life feel like a traveling circus?! With three kids of my own trust me when I say, I GET IT, but as hard as these days can feel, I also know they are fleeting. These sessions are laidback and fun. We'll play games, we'll be silly, and mostly, we'll capture the crazy and the beautiful that is your family!

"There was just something special that drew us to Danielle while we were searching for a wedding photographer. Wedding planning was such a fun, yet overwhelming process for us. But when we found Danielle, it felt like everything just clicked into place! 

She made the process so incredibly easy for us. We really didn't feel like we had to plan or worry about anything. And that was really important to us! She is efficient, thorough, and good at what she does!

What stands out most, looking back on our experience, is that we felt cared for by Danielle every step of the way. She doesn't just love what she does, she loves the people around her. It's just an added bonus, then, that she's absolutely incredible with a camera! She made all my wedding photo dreams come true. I've stared at all my photos every day since I got them!   

Danielle is such a lovely person to be around. Her laid-back approach and her warm excitement for us made us fall in love with her. I know all her other clients would agree!"

"Danielle, 

Thank you so much for capturing our special day so perfectly! We absolutely love all of the photos and will cherish them forever. We truly appreciate everything you did for us on our wedding day- you were so helpful in more ways than you know! You are so kind and fun to work with, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We will forever recommend you as a photographer and look forward to working with you in the future!"

We have had Danielle take our family pictures for the last 4 years, and she has nailed it every single time.
I need to preface this task.....my kids were 2,4 and 6 the first year she took our pics. That's no easy feat. She's incredible with kids, easy to work with, and produces incredibly high quality results at a fraction of what it would cost in a bigger city. Talk about making memories....this girl is a pro.
