The goal is to be open in March for senior portraits. I’ll still be taking pictures of seniors all around Western Pa so the studio space is an added perk for shooting senior photos year round and for those who just like a studio vibe and a bit more privacy vs shooting in public.

Headshots, branding and As I Am portraits can all be booked in here too.

It’s starting to come together, I can’t wait to invite you in!

We’ve Grown!

Thanks to all your support I am ready to dive into a new space!

Not only will I be able to give you a comfy space to meet and order your photos off the big screen like you’re used to, I’ll also be able to give you studio sessions in addition to working outdoors.

As I Am sessions will be a bit roomier, you’ll have more options on headshot backgrounds and you’ll be able to get a little razzle dazzle in your senior portraits.

The experience isn’t changing, just the space.

I’m truly excited to welcome you all next month.

Make sure to engage with these posts so I know you want to see more

January was for hibernation. Ive needed to catch up on paperwork, detox from social media and spend time with my kids. I’ve read Dungeon Crawler Carl, went to Activate in Ohio (GO if you ever get the chance), saw Avatar Fire and Ash and Send Help, ate an impressive amount of movie theater popcorn. During all that inspiration and opportunity crept in. Not loud. Just clear.

I also decided to close my office. My last day there will be February 28th.

Sometimes the hardest decisions are all about trust. Trusting that even when a move feels intimidating, it can still be the the right one.

Heres where we are now:

✨ Class of 2027 senior calendar is officially open. Yes you can book it early and get your spot saved for summer or fall.

✨ RAW As I Am sessions are still open too. This is permission to get in the photo.

✨A giraffe is being bedazzled. Engage with this if you want to know why.

Ready to ring in 2026!

Thank you to everyone who stepped in front of my camera this year. You trusted me with your stories, your milestones, and yes, even your doubts ("I'm not photogenic" is my favorite challenge to prove wrong).

Happy New Year's Eve Eve!

I love Christmas Eve but it never fails I am mad rushing for the things I forgot. I've sat straight up in bed already remembering all things I forgot!
Hope your morning is cozier!

Christmas lights, cozy sweaters, and memories that last forever. This is the life!

We created Christmas vibes without the traditional backdrop, just creative lighting, great clothes he already owned, and a little bit of festive fun.

The best part? This guy followed directions when I gave him outfit guidance, was a little nervous during the session and then walked into his photo reveal saying he probably wouldn't like any photos. He left with them all and said they were the best pictures he ever had of himself.

You deserve professional photos that make you feel good. Period.

Ready to see yourself in a new light? DM me, follow the guidance given during your consultation and show up to your photoshoot with a smidge of go with the flow.

As we head into the final week of 2025, I just want to say thank you. ❤️
Thank you to every family who trusted me with your memories this year.
Thank you to every senior who let me capture this important milestone.
Thank you to every couple who invited me into your wedding day.
This job is a gift, and I don't take it for granted. You could choose anyone, and you chose me, and that means everything.
Here's to a beautiful holiday season and an even better 2026.
With gratitude,
Danielle

Today is the booking deadline for the $700 print credit.
You can schedule your session any time through Feb 29.
These portraits become proof you were here, as you were and enough. Give yourself permission to show up and stand out as yourself.
If that hits something in you, message me. I’d love to talk about what this could look like for you.

But don’t use a Christmas backdrop
