welcome to the studio

The Danielle Sara Photography studio is a warm and inviting space that has everything you will need, including a comfortable shooting area and sitting room - complete with a couch for tired parents to catch a quick nap!

I opened the doors to the studio 10 years ago! It allows me to offer a consistency in my imagery, a distinct style, showcase quality products, and crate an experience that you won't find anywhere else. I invite you to come by for a visit!

A seamless experience from start to finish...

I offer a wide variety of cozy blankets, perfectly-sized baskets, adorable hats, headbands and MANY other props to fit various preferences, while still adhering to my photography style. The studio also offers a changing table, toys, and snacks to keep your little ones happy. In addition, samples of products are available to see in person, so you can easily decide what works best in your home.

Danielle also provides outdoor photography sessions throughout the year some of her favorite locations. Her peak times for outdoor sessions are April - November. Please inquire about outdoor sessions as well as seasonal specials.

photographer and owner

I am extremely passionate about my job. I love getting to know and becoming friends with my clients - I am honored to walk with you on this crazy journey of being a parent, and along the way, capture the in-between moments you want to remember.

As a mom of two little ones, I recognize that life’s little moments pass by too quickly. My goal is to document your memories so you not only remember what it looked like, but how it felt …. how your newborn smelled at one week old, how your little girl’s eyes sparkled, and how your baby’s wide, gummy smile made everyone melt. These memories turned into priceless, family heirlooms is my speciality.

I have spent over a decade photographing, studying, and educating myself in photography, officially starting my business in 2010. I was formally educated in photography (back in the days of film and darkroom) and after a corporate career in marketing, I received my graduate degree from the Washington School of Photography.

I love being creative and bringing happiness through my work to the parents of the families that I photograph.

“To me, it is increasingly important in this digital age to print what we want to preserve. I’ve created my business with a full-service approach. Not only do I provide beautiful portraits, but also a remarkable photography experience, and the delivery of memorable images turned into works of art for your home.”
