meet your hype girl
hi I'm Danielle!
I’m the photographer behind Note to Self and the one cheering you on behind the camera!
My job isn’t just taking photos. It’s helping you feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourself so the moments we capture feel natural and real.
Because the best images don’t happen when everything is perfectly posed.
They happen in the in-between moments:
the laughter, the quiet looks, the little pieces of your story that deserve to be remembered!
how it started...
Before photography, I've spent over 20 years working in hospitality, an industry built on making people feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for.
That experience shapes the way I approach every session.
Being in front of a camera can feel vulnerable, so my goal is simple: create a space where you can relax, be yourself, and actually enjoy the moment!
Because when you feel comfortable, the photos become something more than images, they become memories you’ll want to hold onto.
