DALLAS FORT WORTH Documentary Photographer
Turn Life’s Moments into Lasting Memories
Your Life is Made of Moments
Within the smallest moments is often found the sweetest nostalgia. Time passes by and children grow up, but you can hold onto the memories long after the moment is gone.
Your memories make this style so special
I help you turn life’s moments into lasting memories through photos that look exactly how the moment felt and that’s the point. I am here to help you save the moment before it passes. There is no instant replay and certainly no rewind button in life, but there are photos that are just as beautiful. I offer galleries of memories and if that is what you’re looking for, I cannot wait to work with you.
“Dani’s documentary style photography was exactly what I wanted — real, honest moments without anything feeling posed.”
“Look no further - Dani is THE north Texas photographer you need for family photos. Her documentary style photography was exactly what I wanted — real, honest moments without anything feeling posed. She had a quiet way of blending in and catching the emotion and energy as it naturally unfolded.. just a sweet simple dinner time picnic that I’ll remember forever through these timeless photos. Looking through the photos felt like reliving the day, not just seeing it. Beautiful work, thoughtful edits, and a true eye for storytelling. Highly recommend!”

Hi! I’m Dani,
I am Dallas Fort Worth Photographer specializing in documentary style family photography. Before taking photography full time, I worked several jobs which developed in me a passion for this style. My desire is to turn your life’s moments into lasting memories your family can treasure forever.
There is nothing more special than a joy-filled, candid photo that carries with it countless memories of a time that you hold dear.

These sessions also happen in home, but are much more structured. I come with comfortable prompts and poses for pictures of your family in the place they consider home. These photos feature candid laughter in a more predictable experience. Sessions starting at $400

What people are saying
“ They captured the magic that I see in my loved ones ”
“I'm a reflector.
Even in the mundane things of life, when I look back on times with my family and friends, they have a special little glow in my memory. Nothing quite encapsulates that. My words don't. Sometimes even the moments themselves are only special to me after they've passed.
But when I look at the pictures Dani captured of my family, I see that glow. Our laughs, our play, and our hugs look just like how they do when I dream about them.
These pictures *look* like how I *feel* about my family.
So yeah, they were good, but they were a lot more than that. They captured the magic that I see in my loved ones. They don't just show me what my family looks like right now: they remind me of how much I love my family. They show me how special this time of my life is, even with the mundane and the difficult going on around me.
Dani's artistry is truly beautiful and one-of-a-kind. And I want everybody to have these moments for themselves.”

FAQs
What should my family wear?
Pick one color that you’re loving this year and accent it with neutrals and complimentary patterns. For young children, it’s anything that matches while also making your children feel comfortable and relaxed. After booking, I am here for any consult questions about outfits and locations!
When do I recieve the gallery?
I deliver all your photos within two weeks of the shoot. They are available for free, high-resolution, digital download for the next year.
How long is a given shoot?
My shoots are all at minimum 45 minutes. I know how challenging it can be to get multiple young children to behave at the same time! I’ve seen short shoots can lead to stressed parents and stressed smiles, and that’s not what any of us want. I give you and your family time to feel comfortable in front of the lens.
How many photos do I recieve?
Limiting photos based on price doesn’t appeal to me. These are memories for your family, so I give you every photo worth keeping. This tends to be 80+ lightly edited photos, depending on the length of the session and size of the family.
Where can I find your pricing?
After you inquire, I’ll send you a PDF detailing my packages and pricing. We can discuss which package suits your family best and move forwad from there. For the Traditional style session, packages start at $375, while the Documentary and Liftstyle sessions start at $400 with discounts available for Pastors and indoor sessions between 9:00am and 3:00pm.
Do you travel?
Yes! I primarily serve the Dallas and Des Moines areas, but I’ll travel to you! I have a special pricing PDF for any shoot further than a 75 minute drive. All prices are as listed in the PDF with no added fees.
