After Danielle did head-shot photos for my business and I got a first-hand experience of what a talented photographer she was, I felt like I won the freakin' lottery when I was able to lock her down for my wedding photos.
Danielle has the perfect combination of gentle demeanor, keen aesthetic eye, and ability to thrive in any photo-situation. Despite our best intentions during both the work-related head-shots and wedding day festivities, the schedule got completely derailed. Regardless, Danielle was able to roll with the punches and make everything work without letting any needed shots slip through the cracks, or show any signs of stress or duress. (It actually helped calm me down to see how cool and collected she was.)
At work we get compliments on our head-shots all the time. (Even though this is kind of an awkward process for those of us who don't like to be the center of attention, Danielle made everyone feel as comfortable as possible, and was able to grab flattering photo-representation of everyone on the team.) In order to photograph everyone, one session was in her studio, and one session was in our office. Both go-rounds went off without a hitch, and I appreciated Danielle's flexibility to help accomodate everyone's schedule.
My wedding photos turned out gorgeous, and I was in awe of Danielle's creativity. The random holiday bazaar turned into a stunning backdrop. She instinctively knew that the vintage, art-deco staircase would look beautiful shot in black and white. Family candids, organized group shots, manipulating my wily puppy to cooperate -- Danielle had control over every situation and delivered breath-taking pictures.
It was a pleasure working with her every time, and I am already in the process of trying to figure out when to schedule our next batch of head-shots. read more
