DALLAS FORT WORTH, DES MOINES, AND BEYOND
DOCUMENTARY STYLE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Your family has a story
This story is bursting at the seems with unique characters and decorated with laughter, tears, silly moments, and imperfections, and it is truly beautiful.
Documentary photography is perfect for your beautiful, unpredictable, busy life. It’s for those of you who see the beauty in the every day, who understand the value of the small moments, and know this season of your life will pass with the blink of an eye.
Hi! I’m Dani
I am a photographer in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex with a passion for families. Before taking photography full time, I worked several jobs which developed in me a passion for documentary-style family photography. These jobs include nannying, local church communications, and Summer camp photography. Each of these gave me a growing desire to be able to document the beauty of the every day life for the every day family.
I believe every family has a unique story and I desire to help you tell it. In portrait photography, there is nothing more special than a joy-filled, candid photo that carries with it countless memories of a time that you hold dear.

She was able to perfectly capture this sweet season of our lives
“Dani went above and beyond during our photo shoot this past Fall. From start to finish, she made us and our girls feel so comfortable and simply ourselves in front of the camera. She was able to perfectly capture this sweet season of our lives and the personalities of each of our girls. We left with dozens of photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime.”

Traditional
The Traditional session is for the family’s who love to get all dressed up together and venture to a nice location. I will use my expertise to prompt and pose your family to warm and friendly images.
Lifestyle
The Lifestyle session, like the traditional, is still dressed up and prompted, but taken within your house or on your front porch. The in-home element adds a degree of comfort and ease, in addition to a sentimental backdrop for this year’s portraits.
Documentary
The Documentary session is purely candid. You pick an activity that you want to remember, whether it’s a bedtime routine, yard games with the kids, or baking cookies, and I will come alongside y’all documenting the joy of this life stage.
