Hi, I'm Danielle

I’m the photographer behind the camera, and I’m endlessly passionate about capturing life’s significant moments and curating emotive visual stories for my clients. Specialising in newborn baby photography, heartfelt family photography and authentic wedding photography, I cover Essex, London, the UK and wherever in the world you need me to be. Expertly fusing my knowledge of light, vision and technique, with my unashamed adoration for the beauty in nature, raw emotion and real love, I am renowned for my soft, artistic and relaxed photography style.

QUICKFIRE FACTS

YOU SHOULD
PROBABLY KNOW

I’m into photography. But I’m also into fitness (and counteracting my self-confessed cake addiction and unrelenting love of gin) and you’ll often find me throwing weights about, or booking flights, packing my suitcase, and enjoying a spot of continent-hopping. 5 holidays a year is necessary for the soul in my eyes, and nothing beats enjoying an ice-cold cocktail on the beach, witnessing a magical sunset in a new location and discovering the endless adventures that this wonderful world has to offer.

 

I’m also a dab hand at DIY (courtesy of multiple YouTube tutorials) and have loved working tirelessly to create the haven that I call home. It’s also known as my little jungle of succulents, with 27 and counting – don’t act like you’re not impressed!

""Danielle was so brilliant with my boys and made everyone feel safe and relaxed and captured so many wonderful moments.""

"She is an exceptional photographer. The photos Danielle took are beautiful, she made everyone feel at ease, there was zero pressure at all and we just moved about playing while she snapped away. The photos are delicately styled but also fairly candid and there were no overly posed shots. The whole collection is wonderful."

My approach

If you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you I’ve always been creative and cherish even the smallest details in life, and its these characteristics that have led me to photography. I’m laidback, sincere and offer the warm reassurance that clients often need when it comes to having their picture taken. You have the promise of my support whenever you need it, including gentle guidance on how to make the most of your photography in the most authentic way.

 

It’s hugely important to me that I form a bond with the people I work with and more often than not, we’ll establish a friendship while capturing each new chapter in your lives as the years pass by. From your wedding day, your first-born baby and your family as it grows overtime.
