it's all about you, baby
and i mean it!!
i base this entire experience off of what makes you, you. when your gallery gets delivered, i want you to look at your honey and say "wow, these are all so US!!!" or "our love is so beautiful i want to cry happy tears forever and ever and dani is the best photographer in the world" (maybe that last one is asking a little too much hehe).
i don't care if you feel like you two are the most awkward couple on the planet (everyone always thinks this), i promise you will feel like models by the end of our session! i gently guide each of my couples with prompts that i think will best showcase their love. it's usually silly and sloppy, but by the end, many people forget that my camera and i are even there!
i pride myself on being flexible and catering to each individual and unique client of mine. whether your wedding is on the non-traditional side and it's just you and the love of your life, or a 200+ giant party with everyone you know, everyone's experience matters. i want you to feel as stress-free, loved, and taken care of as i possibly could.

FAQ
Q: do you give raws?
A: sorry if you wanted them, but i do not. my edits are the best version of the images and i only want you to have the best!
Q: How long with it take for us to receive our images?
A: for weddings/elopements, 4-5 weeks and for everything else, 2 weeks! But don’t worry, I always send you some sneak peeks the next day after our shoot together to tease ya a little and help make the waiting process a little bit better.
Q: what do you wear for photos?
A: i am glad you asked! certain colors work amazing with my editing style while others do not. i have a pinterest board FULL of inspo that you can access here! OH and don’t be shy texting me before our shoot asking if i like your outfit(s). send me all your shameless mirror selfies!!
Q: do i get to choose my images?
A: in an hour shoot, i take anywhere from 500-1000 images (just imagine how many for a wedding!!) so shifting through them together would be such a long and tedious process. i promise i will give you so many pics that there will be tons that you will absolutely love! just trust :)

Q: what is my favorite type of pizza?
A: how can you pick just one?! i love wholefood’s three cheese, True Food Kitchen’s margarita (my favorite restaurant in the world) and Erewhon’s broccoli kale crust veggie. i like any pizza really, but if you are coming at me with some low-qual junk like pizza hut or papa johns get outta here!!!!
Q: do you have a cutoff number for how many photos you give?
A: NO WAY!! i have a really hard time narrowing down the number of photos i give during a session, and i know people are always pickier with their OWN appearance (i think you look great all the time), so i don't want to be the one to decide if you would like a pic of you smizing or smiling more. typically during an hour shoot, my clients receive 200-300 edited images!
Q: can i photoshop you to be skinnier, remove pimples, or change my earring color?
A: i am no personal trainer, so i cannot make you skinnier--i am sorry! few things are worse than getting a pimple the day before a shoot, so i gotchu!!! consider it gone already! if you are thinking about asking me to change the color of your earrings in every single photo, PLEASE don’t do that to me. PLEASE!!! (if you can’t tell that has happened to me before and it was hell)
Q: what happens if we have to re- schedule our shoot?
A: my contract goes into much more detail about this, but i WANNA shoot with you, so we can always reschedule to another day that works for the both of us! if it is weather-related, rainy shoot are fun, so if you are looking for that Notebook moment, now is your chance! if rain isn’t your thing (i don’t blame you) and there is another day available, i’ll be more than happy to hang with ya another day! golden hour is my favorite, but give cloudy days a chance! we can get some really great moody pics with a little bit of overcast weather.
