About me

Hi, I'm Danny, and I'm a photographer based in Christiansburg, VA. My photography journey began unexpectedly, in the Army. Serving as a nurse and often the unit’s photographer, I found myself drawn to capturing the raw emotions and genuine moments that unfolded around me. You can see some photos I captured during my time in the military.

As my own family grew, my passion for photography deepened. Documenting my children's lives, I discovered the power of freezing those fleeting, unfiltered emotions on camera. Those candid shots, full of laughter, joy, and connection, became treasured memories.

Now, I want to do the same for you.

Whether it's a day-in-the-life session with your family, a milestone event you'll never forget, or a glimpse into the heart of your small business, I aim to tell your unique story through images. I strive to fade into the background, allowing you to be fully present in the moment while I capture the authentic beauty that unfolds.

I'm not just interested in posed smiles and perfect angles. My focus is on the in-between moments – the whispered conversations, the shared glances, the genuine interactions that make your life truly special. These are the memories you'll cherish for a lifetime, and I'm here to make sure they're preserved in a way that's both beautiful and meaningful.

Let me help you create a visual legacy that will transport you back to these precious moments for years to come.

Documentary Photography

Documentary-style photography captures the real, unposed moments that make your life unique. It's about genuine emotions, candid interactions, and the details often overlooked. I aim to be a fly on the wall, documenting your life as it unfolds naturally, creating a visual time capsule of cherished memories.

Caveat:

While I specialize in capturing authentic moments in a documentary style, I'm adaptable to your needs and preferences. I will give subtle suggestions and ideas, without taking over the moment. So if you like a mix of candid and posed photos, or have a specific vision for a particular shot, I'm happy to incorporate those elements into your session; it’s a collaborative effort. I'll work with you to find the right balance between capturing genuine emotions and creating those timeless, subtly posed photos you desire. Ultimately, my goal is to create a collection of images that reflect your family’s unique story and personality.
