FAQ
What type of portrait sessions do you offer?
I offer individual portraits, milestone sessions (babies + kids), sibling portraits, and simple personal/headshot-style portraits for teens and adults.
How long is the session?
Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes. This allows time for a relaxed pace, natural movement, and a few different looks without feeling rushed.
When is the best time to schedule milestone photos?
Most families book milestone portraits around key moments such as first birthdays, turning two or three, or before starting school. I recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance.

You’ll receive a curated gallery of 30+ fully edited, high-resolution images. Each image is carefully selected and edited to reflect my true-to-color, natural style

HI I'M DANIELLE -
After becoming a mom and building my business around family photography, I found so much meaning in documenting connection but I’ve also come to deeply appreciate the power of a dedicated portrait. Family sessions will always have my heart, yet I’ve discovered a different kind of joy in creating images that celebrate one individual in a thoughtful, intentional way.
Going through the experience of having my own photos taken gave me a deeper appreciation for what it feels like to be in front of the camera and why it truly matters. That same feeling has carried into my work with milestone portraits, whether it’s a child’s first birthday, a personality session, or simply capturing someone as they are in this moment.
If portraits have been on your mind, I’d love to chat about what a session could look like for you.
