Moments pass in a blink of an eye
Make them last forever
The journey into parenthood is a transformative and joyous experience marked by the arrival of your newborn. As a photographer, my goal is to document the bond between you and your new baby. The love, tenderness, and connection that radiates during these sessions create timeless images that serve as a visual reminder of your families journey. As time passes these images become even more cherished and become a priceless collection of memories that can be shared with your children as they grow older.
Whether you're welcoming your first or third baby, my goal is to create a stress free luxury experience from start to finish. I'll work closely with you to plan outfits, choose a location, and even help you design custom artwork for your home.

Danai was able to see the beauty in myself as a mother, I had forgotten about. After two children and life, I didn’t see my beauty like I once did.. her photos of my family reminded me of just how beautiful I was. Not only myself, but my family. Our marriage and our children, she was able to capture the beauty of us.
We had such a great time getting our family photos taken by Danai. First, were were a little nervous about going places with a newborn. Our little one had just turned 4 weeks. Danai provided guidance on outfits to coordinate and she worked with us at our convenience. We were definitely nervous that the baby would cry and fuss during the session but she calmed him down and took some incredible baby photos. We absolutely love that she also guided us on how to pose, because it is always awkward getting pictures taken but she made it so fun. Her studio was also very clean, organized and designed for family photos. Overall, we enjoyed our time with her and will definitely return for other family photos. Thank you Danai!
