WEDDING & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

a little sparkle about me

I'M DANI

Obsessed with anything that glows, sparkles, or catches golden light just right. For nearly two decades, I’ve been turning real-life magic into bold, emotional photos across Napa Valley, the Vacaville redwoods, and Benicia beaches. Born and raised right here in the Bay Area and Napa region, I know exactly where to find that perfect light and dreamy backdrop to tell your story flawlessly.

I specialize in luxury Napa Valley weddings full of heart and intention, but I also photograph families, maternity, boudoir, and milestone sessions that deserve just as much love. With my Type A core and detail-driven prep, I’ll guide you through every step so you can feel calm, confident, and fully present. Your hand-edited gallery lands in just 14 days because reliving the moment shouldn’t take months.

I’m a proud single mom to a teenager who was the reason I picked up a camera in the first place back in 2009. He’s seen me build this business from scratch, and I bring that same passion, resilience, and heart to every gallery I shoot.

I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

Photography isn’t just my career. It’s where I come alive. I live for chasing sun flares, catching those heart-squeezing moments, and freezing the kind of joy that makes weddings unforgettable. I’m just as passionate about capturing glowing maternity sessions, beautifully chaotic family milestones, and intimate boudoir shoots where women reconnect with their confidence.

Whether I’m documenting an elevated Napa Valley wedding or giggling through a family session in Vacaville or Benicia- I bring bold warmth, heart, and a perfectionist’s eye to every frame. Your memories deserve to feel just as powerful as the day they were made, and that’s exactly what I deliver.

I LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO

find joy in the little things

Because those little things? They’re actually everything. The way your partner looks at you during your vows, the wild chase of your toddler during a family session, or that quiet confidence you rediscover during a boudoir shoot- those are the moments that matter. My clients trust the process, embrace the magic of real connection, and let go to be fully present. You don’t need to know how to pose or have it all figured out-just show up ready to feel something.

I’ll take care of the rest.
