The Portrait Experience

Portrait sessions hold a special place in my heart. My approach focuses on capturing joyful, vibrant images that celebrate life’s meaningful moments. Here’s what to expect once you inquire:

1. Secure your session with a deposit
2. Complete a short questionnaire to help me get to know you
3. Prepare with my easy style & prep guide
4. Enjoy a fun, relaxed, and fully guided session
5. Get excited for a sneak peek within 48 hours!
6. Receive your final gallery in a beautiful online collection

Surprise Proposals

Starting at $500

You've got the ring, and now you need the right person to capture the moment. Book your proposal session today for professional planning, execution, and a brief photo session afterward as you celebrate the "YES!"

Engagements

Engagement sessions are like date nights with a professional third wheel. My specialty is directing couples through classic poses, and fun prompts. Please note that engagement sessions are included with wedding packages, so you might want to skip a step and book a wedding consultation instead!

Starting at $500

2-Hour adventure sessions available for multiple locations

Family & Maternity

Family is so special, and you do not need a special occasion to get yours in front of a camera. The beauty of taking the professional route is that everyone gets to be in the frame!

Depending on your family story, sessions can take place anywhere, including in the comfort of your own home.


Starting at $400

Graduation

There is nothing like the feeling of finally being done with your degree! No matter what your next steps are, celebrating the moment with professional portraits is a must.

Sessions can be booked with friends, family, pets, or you can go solo. The National Mall is a popular location, however, you may elect to take photos on campus, or somewhere special to you!






Starting at $650

2-Hour adventure sessions available for multiple locations

Headshots & Branding

An essential set of photos of your and/or your team to represent your company to prospective clients and partners. These photos may include studio backdrops, or be creatively set up to represent your brand based on your needs.

Starting at $300

Events

Events can be anything from a business conference to a baby shower. I especially love engagement parties and surprises! Event photography covers all the candid moments and details that made your event special.

Starting at $250/hour

Additional fees may apply based on guest count and location

Kind Words

Daniela was phenomenal to work with! A true professional in every sense, she knew exactly what shots to get. She understood the lighting and the shadows, and got the coolest shots from the perfect angles. The backgrounds she chose and the poses she had me do made the entire experience seamless, and I would certainly recommend her to anyone else!

We had such an amazing time working with Dani for our engagement photos! She really listened to what we were looking for and suggested a location that was perfect! It felt really natural working with her and she was able to direct us so that the pictures didn’t look too posed but also not awkward. They came out beautiful! Can’t wait to have her photograph our wedding!

Daniela is amazing! She has the most amazing energy and is so wonderful to work with. We will 100% be coming back to her for our future family photos!

We love our family photos that Dani took for us! She made it easy to schedule, communicated with us about all aspects of the session, and she was so fun to work with! She did a great job capturing our family, and made the process fun for our 4 year old. She's amazing!

— Thompson Family

We LOVED our pictures. Our session was very fun and interactive, and the photos were delivered in a timely manner. Dani was professional and communicated well- we would definitely recommend her!!!
