I’m danielle, going by dani more often then not.

I do not like capital letters all the time, so from here on out, note it is a prefrence, not a lack of english skill or education.

My favorite color rotates between green, blue, or pink – depending on the day.

I have a fierce addiction to chocolate.

For my photographer visitors, I: shoot canon, use a PC, Lightroom 2, and CS4

Incase we’ve never met – I am a lifestyle photographer from Fremont, OH specializing in child portraiture (newborn to age one) and wedding photography.  Focusing on the use of available light, creative use of “one light”, and non-traditional approaches, I currently serve the Fremont / Toledo area and surrounding cities, but have served clients from all around – as far away as California!  I do not have awards to hang on the walls, a college degree in photography, nor am I perfect.  I am well aware of the talent around me, and grateful for any inspiration I get.  I’ve spent many years learning, reading, working to master the craft of light and the mechanics of how to accurately reproduce it not only correctly, but with a vision of my own. 

Sometimes breaking the “rules” IS a rule.  There are times when the focus, the depth, the toning, the direction of light being manipulated just out of standard can change the way a simple image is perceived; it can convey drama, emotion, truth, and love.  I will never cease trying to find those things in all that I do.

  Here at the blog you will find sneak peeks into current sessions or projects, as well as information pertaining to DLP and personal ramblings about this and that.  I live at home with my wonderful Husband and our two children, and our third child – a lively black lab.  Home is where I run my business from.  However, I am an on-location photographer and do not provide studio portrait work other than for newborns -please contact me via email, the contact form, or by phone.  Consultaion appointments for bridal clients are by appointment only.

I love what I do and the joy it brings to the clients I serve.  There’s a special excitement in the eyes of someone who has just received such magical images, and I am convinced I have the best job in the world!  When not caring full-time for my children, spending time with my husband, or photographing – you’ll find me here with you, talking about it.

 Thanks for stopping by!  Please feel free to leave a word or two in the comment section, I value feedback more than you can imagine

I look forward to working with you,

dani
