If you’re wanting to invest in an experience, that captures personality in an artistic, storytelling, documentary, real to you way, you’re in the right place.
You’re the kind of parent that embraces the chaos, sees the beauty in the mundane, and thoroughly enjoys the humans your kids are becoming. Sweet friends, amidst the crazy, you deserve to have some memories made + documented.
Bring the chaos + I’'ll take care of the rest!
Throughout your session, I want you to sit back & just enjoy the moments we’re cultivating together. You and your babes. Don’t sweat the small stuff. We’ll go with the flow and follow their lead. I don’t want your session to feel rushed or frustrating. This is you guys just living life with me capturing it.
I understand that my photographs, my approach, and my style aren’t everyone's cup of tea. I prefer moments and connection over specific posing and smiley photos. I obsess over close up photos of dimples and curls and your babe’s sweet details.
My own motherhood plays a huge role in my connection based photography. I enjoy seeing my baby do what comes naturally to her + our real interactions over something that feels super orchestrated or ‘looks perfect’.
The beauty in your chaos is waiting to be documented. It’s not simply about the photographs + sharing photos on instagram, it’s the story of your family that you’ll continue to look back on in the years ahead. This is holy work, important work, life giving work.
Collections begin at $700. Inquire below for more information.

HONEST + SINCERE PHOTOGRAPHS
THE STORY OF YOU
MY WHY
My baby. I became a mom almost three years ago now. The little love of my life calls me ‘mama’, sometimes, ‘Dani’ *eyeroll* lol. I honestly wasn’t one to have photos taken before I was a mom, I felt like I didn’t have much to document, but now, I’m quick to jump on booking a session for my family. These days are so so short and before I know it, she will be off to elementary school then a blink later, she’ll be getting her driver’s license. Intentionally setting time aside for our days to be captured in a way that tells our authentic story as well as memorializes the interactions that won’t last forever - this is how I choose to make sure my family has keepsake photographs forever.
Here’s a glimpse of our most precious moments - I’m beyond grateful for these photographs.
I always say that -yes- these photographs are for you, but even more so, they’re for your babies and your babies’ babies. Your family is part of your legacy and your right now should be honored with documentation.
For your little loves
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
”My family loved working with Dani! She is kind and easy-going and made taking photos with two kids under two stress free and even enjoyable. She is super professional and we will be using her for years to come!” - McClain Family
“Dani is a true storyteller! Everything I wanted documented about my family and pregnancy, she was able to catch even though my toddler only gave her a solid 2 minutes of opportunity to shoot her over the span of the entire session! She is worth her weight in gold!” - Banks Family
Far from traditional family photos
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN SHOULD WE SHOOT MATERNITY + NEWBORN?
Maternity is typically between 28-36 weeks. We want a bump but also don’t want mama to be uncomfortable moving around during the shoot!
Newborns are typically within the first 2 weeks of baby’s life. I leave flexibility in my schedule in case baby comes sooner or later.
WHAT DO WE WEAR?
Once you book your session, I’ll send over a bit of session prep info, to help you get ready for our shoot! It includes what to expect + some inspo + basic guidelines for what to wear.
WHERE SHOULD WE SHOOT?
I travel anywhere :) If you’re in the Memphis area, you can choose between an in-home, in studio, or outdoor location. Travel fees apply to locations over an hour away.
WHAT IF I WANT TO SHOOT IN HOME, BUT MY HOUSE ISN’T ‘IG WORTHY’?
Please don’t let this deter you! Your home is uniquely your own, it IS ig worthy no matter what it looks like or how you think it looks. “If there’s love in a house, it’s a palace for sure”.
If there’s light + lots of love,, it’s perfect :)
