about me.

Hi there! I’m Danell!

I’m an artist and an optimist, momma of a curly-haired wild child, and a lifestyle photographer of babies, kids, families, and the world around me. I believe in watching the birds, driving with the windows down, backyard gardens, sleeping in the desert, outdoor showers, pulling off a really great practical joke, adventures with my daughter, playing ukulele by campfire, fall colors, and giggling till you can't breathe.

I bring all of these beliefs (and more) to my work, and I collaborate with my clients to understand what they love, so their truth shines in every photograph.

NEW STUDIO SPACE!

Now at a new location right in downtown Carrboro in the Historic Carr Mill Mall!

located at 200N. Greensboro St. Carrboro, NC 27510

When looking at the CVS, walk across the mini parking lot to the access stairs outside. Studio is also accessible via the elevator to the upstairs and down another set of stairs in the back.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: I aim to make my sessions available to everyone. Unfortunately, the new studio is not yet wheelchair accessible — there are 6 stairs to get into the space. Please reach out to me if this poses an issue, and we'll figure out the best way to accommodate you. If a studio session isn't possible, I'll do my best to set something up outside instead.
