founder & Photographer

Hello, I'm danielle

Photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember; I consider myself extremely fortunate to have know what I wanted to do from a very early age–and have had the opportunity to pursue it.


I received my BFA in Photography with a minor in Art History from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. I worked for 15 years in the New York metropolitan area, gaining expert experience with top photographers and artists, as well as post-production studios, honing my craft from the varied experience and inspiration that city allows. Relocation to metropolitan Detroit facilitated a re-establishment of the studio as we know it today.


My work is distinguished by a strong emphasis on capturing the luminous light and beauty of the moment–regardless of subject matter. My primary focus is to craft visually captivating and emotionally evocative, authentic photographs–because photographs have the power to transform into a cherished memory.

My approach

 

My approach varies on the service provided, but, regardless of the session, my aim is to be unobtrusive and easy-going. I capture everything as naturally as possible, offering gentle guidance and prompts when required. I'm always looking for the best light and angles, aiming to achieve beautiful, effortless, and timeless imagery.
