Truly, it rocked my world. My pregnancy was more difficult than I ever imagined possible (thank you hyperemesis gravidarum), and my birth was beautiful but the opposite of what I planned (You can read my full birth story HERE!).
Meeting and mothering my daughter has cracked open my soul and made me the best version of myself.
I realized that mothers and parents everywhere, every day, were going through this exact same life-altering transformation, and that it was undeniably my calling to support them through it however I could.

"Danielle is nothing other than a powerful energy, a fierce advocate and a talented artist. She was there for me through tough life changes during pregnancy, throughout my 22 hour labor and birth, and has continued to be a presence for me postpartum! The beautiful images and footage she captured of the birth of my baby are so precious to us and I would hire her a million times over. This powerhouse of a woman assisted me in 8 hours of pushing without pain medications--she held me physically and emotionally,"

"Danielle is an absolute gem- both as a person and a photographer. My husband and mom were driving back from the airport, and she was the first person to get to my house when I went into labor late at night. She was so incredibly helpful & helped me set up my birth pool, while also taking photos and video. She captured every precious moment, from laboring with my husband, mom, & son, to the moment of our surprise gender birth, to postpartum and our herbal bath. I will cherish these beautiful photos forever."

"The support Danielle provided me during my unmedicated birth was vital to me having the birth experience I was hoping for and she gave my husband some much-needed time to rest while I still felt supported. She captured incredible photos and videos that we are so, so grateful to have and will cherish forever - she was an invaluable part of our daughter's birth and has been a great support in the weeks following her birth as well."
