The atmosphere was warm and relaxed. Danielle took such good care of our little girl, working at her pace and soothing her every step of the way. We brought a few special items and Danielle was able to work them into the shoot as well as provide some beautiful clothing, accessory and swaddle options to round out the rest of the photos. We are so excited to see the final product and would gladly recommend this photographer to anyone! Will use again for future family photos. Thanks again Danielle! kadi sickel2025-04-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle was amazing during our newborn photography session. Might have helped that our newborn was up all night so he slept the entire session with not one fuss! She is excellent and her work is flawless! One of our photos had a smudge but since she was looking through for the first time with me, she ordered a new one which was so sweet! I wouldn’t have even noticed!

She was so gentle and calming with him, and he barely stirred, while she took amazing pictures during a 60+ minute session. The products were gorgeous, and she sent them to me in a timely manner, even during the busy holiday season. We will definitely going back to visit Danielle!

She came to my house with all of her stuff and found a way to work it out even though my place was very small. She was very professional and great with my baby. I felt really comfortable with her and how she handled and calmed my baby down. She definitely knows what she is doing and is very good at it. I definitely recommend her to anybody ! The pictures couldn’t have been more perfect! Thanks again Danielle ! Emilie Garcia2018-03-19
