I Can't Wait to Hear Your Story...

BUT FIRST LET ME TELL YOU MINE!

My name's Danielle and here are some fun facts about me: I love sushi, antique shops & the great outdoors. I am married to my best friend, Joseph, and we have the cutest fur baby, Max. I have a passion for travel, different cultures, the creative arts, and history!

I'm a seasoned photographer of 11 years, based in Northern New Jersey. I own 2 photography businesses, the other being a product & branding business with my best friend Sydney - B|E Creative Community.

My love of photography has been with me from a very young age. Any time I traveled, I always had a camera on me - from my phone, to a point and shoot, to my first ever DSLR. Travel photography is really where I first found my passion. The ability to capture beauty anywherE & everywhere, was & still is so alluring to me!

I keep that with me even now, using my own "kefi" to fuel my ability to capture beauty in every moment of "retrouvailles" that I encounter or create.
