Your photographer, from start to finish

Hi, I’m Danielle.
I’ll take care of the details.

With a degree in advertising photography and more than 20 years of experience, I bring a patient approach to every session. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about your baby needing a break.

My Salem studio has wraps, outfits, props, and a client wardrobe ready for you. We’ll plan together, follow your baby’s lead, and create portraits that feel like your family.

Simple, from the first conversation

A little planning.
A lot of care.

01

We plan together.

We’ll talk about your family, the portraits you love, and what you’d like to do with them. I’ll guide clothing, styling, and preparation.

02

You settle in.

I guide posing and take care of the details. Newborn sessions allow time for feeding and soothing, with parents and siblings welcome.

03

Your photographs come home.

At your Zoom reveal, we’ll look through your portraits and select your favorites, digital images, albums, and artwork.

you may be wondering.

I’m happy to help with the rest.

Ask Danielle a question →
When should I book newborn photos?

Reach out during pregnancy to reserve time around your due date. Newborn portraits are usually planned for the first two weeks after birth. If your baby has already arrived, contact me to check availability.

When is the best time for maternity portraits?

Most maternity sessions take place between 28 and 34 weeks. We’ll choose a date and a studio or outdoor setting that works for you.

Do I need to bring outfits and props?

The studio has newborn wraps, outfits, and props, along with a maternity client wardrobe. I’ll help coordinate clothing for partners and siblings before your session.

Can parents and siblings be included?

Yes. Parents and siblings are welcome in newborn sessions. We’ll plan the combinations you want and allow time for little ones to get comfortable.

What if my baby needs feeding or won’t sleep?

Feeding, soothing, and changing breaks are part of newborn sessions. I follow your baby’s cues and can include awake portraits, too.

Do you offer digital images and printed artwork?

Yes. You’ll select your favorite images at your reveal appointment, with digital images, albums, and wall art available. Contact me for session options and the investment guide.
