I’m Danielle — a wife and mama with a heart for capturing life’s little moments. I’m a self-taught photographer based in Aiken, South Carolina, specializing in maternity, motherhood, and boudoir sessions. My work is rooted in connection, confidence, and celebration.
Whether it’s an intimate boudoir session that helps you rediscover your power, a maternity session honoring the strength of your changing body, or a motherhood session capturing the tender chaos of your story, my goal is always the same: for every woman who steps in front of my camera to feel seen, strong, and beautifully herself.
As a mom of two, I understand.
I understand how beautiful you feel with your baby bump — the curves, the softness, the strength, and the quiet confidence that lives beneath it all.
I understand the newborn days and early years: slow, hazy, beautiful, and exhausting in ways only a mother knows.
And I understand how motherhood can become all-consuming — how it can reshape your identity, even as a part of you longs to feel seen, desired, and confident again in your own skin.
This season won’t last forever.
Let me capture these moments for you.
