Hi, I'm Danielle!
I've been riding horses for as long as I can remember, and they've shaped so much of who I am. Spending a lifetime in the equestrian world has given me an appreciation for not only their beauty, but also their personalities and the incredible feeling they share with the people who love them. That connection is what inspires every session and every image I create.
My experience with horses extends far beyond photography. I've spent years working hands on in the equestrian industry, from caring for horses to working alongside trainers and riders. Those experiences have taught me to understand horses beyond what we see in a photograph.
That understanding is something I bring to every session. I know that not every horse is going to stand perfectly still or immediately feel comfortable in front of a camera, and that's okay. My goal is to create a relaxed experience, work with your horse rather than against them, and capture the moments that truly feel like them.
