It all starts with connection.

Meet your Photographer, Danielle

I’m here to capture the real, honest, beautiful moments that make your story yours. My sessions are relaxed, natural, and all about making you feel safe, seen, and completely yourself.

Hello! I’m Dani

The heart behind the lens

I’m a mum of three, a Neonatal nurse, and a documentary-style photographer with a big love for golden hour light and the kind of real moments that make your heart feel full.

Photography for me isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles, it’s about capturing the quiet in-betweens, the giggles, the hand squeezes, the wild family cuddles, and all the chaos and calm that make life beautiful.

I’m here to make you feel relaxed, supported, and totally yourself  whether we’re shooting your wedding, your growing bump, or your beautiful little crew. I’ll guide you the whole way (nervous folks, I’ve got you), and make sure it feels more like hanging out with a mate than being in front of a camera.

Let’s turn your everyday magic into memories you can hold onto forever.

“I believe photography isn’t just about taking beautiful pictures — it’s about creating space for people (and their furry besties) to be seen, celebrated, and completely themselves.”

- Danielle Elizabeth

Photography that feels effortless, genuine, and full of heart.

I’m not here to make you “smile at the camera.” I’m here to capture the real stuff, the tiny glances, the cheeky grins, the wind in your hair and the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms.

My sessions are relaxed, easy-going, and always guided with care. I’ll help you feel comfortable from the moment we connect,  no awkward poses or pressure to perform. Just gentle direction, encouragement, and a few laughs along the way. Whether you’re feeling camera-shy or totally chill, I’ll meet you where you’re at and make sure you feel seen and supported.

What makes me different? I bring two decades of experience as a Neonatal nurse into every shoot. I know how to read people, feel the mood of a moment, and create calm in the chaos. I notice the little things, the unspoken emotions, the quiet joy, the deep love, and I know how to capture them without interrupting the flow.

From the first email to the final gallery, I’m all in. You’ll get care, communication, and a photography experience that feels like hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera. The result? Beautiful, honest images that tell your story exactly as it is, full of love, light, and life.

Get to Know Me in 60 Seconds

  1. Mum of three (AKA expert multitasker and professional snack carrier).

  2. Former neonatal nurse with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for tiny humans.

  3. Happiest with a beach sunset, good company, and a glass of wine in hand.

  4. Equal parts high-energy hype girl and couch-dwelling Netflix binger.

  5. A total people person - I thrive on deep chats, big laughs, and barefoot dance floors.

  6. Perfectionist + list-maker at heart, I plan everything so your shoot feels effortless.

  7. I read the room like a pro and know exactly when to guide and when to let the magic unfold.

  8. Seeing someone realise how beautiful they look in their photos? Pure joy.

  9. Snacks fuel my soul… especially rocky road.

  10. Want to win me over instantly? Red wine. Always red wine.

If this sounds like you, I’d love to tell your story.

I work with the dreamers, the lovers, the laughers, the people who want to hold on to what matters most. My clients are often fun, happy souls who just want to capture the love they share… even if they’re a little nervous about being in front of the camera (don’t worry, I’ve got you!).

You don’t need to know what to do; you just need to show up and be yourselves. By the end of the session, you’ll be laughing, relaxed, and feeling like a total natural.

If you value family, connection, and the beautifully imperfect moments in between, we’re going to get along just fine.

Let’s capture something real together.

Whether you're celebrating love, growing your family, or simply wanting to hold onto the beauty of everyday moments, I’d be honoured to tell your story. My goal is always the same: to make you feel comfortable, seen, and full of joy. Let’s create something that feels like you, honest, beautiful, and full of heart.

    “4 shoots with you now and I don’t think I could ever go elsewhere, you seriously blow our expectations out the window each time we see you! Shooting 6 people comfortably and with ease it takes all the stress away. It really can be stressful organising multiple people for photos; however, each time you have made us feel calm, comfortable, familiar and relaxed. The kids remember you from the stories you've told. The images produced are so realistic and natural, even when the kids are not cooperative. We seriously can’t thank you enough. Your talent shines in our images, and we look forward to our next shoot and seeing how much our kids have grown in between.”

    Maternity Photo Session

  • Kristelle & Joel

    “Dani is absolutely amazing. She has photographed my husband and me at different milestones of our lives, and we always have a blast with her! She makes us feel so comfortable and beautifully captures ur authentic, silly moments (even making our fall in the water during a beach shoot one of my favourite photo memories of all time). The quality of her service is impeccable; she communicates promptly and very well. Most of all, the galleries we receive from her are always stunning.”

    Wedding & Couples Photo Sessions

  • King Family

    “We have had our family photos taken by Dani twice, and both times she has just blown us away with the most beautiful photos. We all felt so relaxed, and it really just felt like an afternoon hanging out with a friend. The kids loved being able to just play, and we (feeling a bit awkward in front of a camera) felt like there was the right amount of direction. Thanks so much, Dani!”
