About

Hello, students! I'm a professional brand and travel photographer and educator based in Central Florida.

I've been teaching photography and photo editing (Lightroom and Photoshop) for 15+ years to hundreds of students around the world. From newcomers to advanced hobbyists, I'm extremely passionate about showing you simple and effective ways to "see life through a new lens."

The Storyteller’s Journey (yourstorytellersjourney.com) is perfect for you if you feel stuck in your creative photography journey. It’s designed to get you off of Auto mode, master Manual, and build creative confidence so you can capture any stories with passion and purpose, forever. You can take the accelerator course in just one day or you can join the full course and complete it within a week, a month or more - whatever works for you!

It’s all at your own pace, and you get to keep all the videos forever too. They are the quickest most convenient way to become confident in Manual mode and capture great photos anywhere anytime you pick up your camera.

The online course options start at just $27.

Here is everything you can receive inside our online course:

At least 13+ short video lessons

100+ downloadable guides

5 Practice Assignments

Photo Field Guide (cheat sheet)

Photo Tips downloadable book

BONUS: 2 Hr Photo Editing Course

To learn more click here: https://yourstorytellersjourney.com/

There is even a free course to start.

Private Lessons:

After taking the online course, I offer a blend of in-person and virtual continued lessons/mentorship. Private lessons are great once you have completed the online course and understand manual mode. They are the fastest way to feel confident and get all your personal questions answered by a pro instantly.

Private lessons start at $750 for a 4-hour demo lesson on location in Central Florida and $125 per hour of virtual lessons. Both include unlimited image critiques and access to my personal email for troubleshooting anytime!

The first individual private lesson includes a quick review of the course. I’ll also share feedback about your photo assignments and we’ll dive deeper into your personal photography style. All private lessons can be hosted in-person either at your location in Central Florida, or a local library or park.

Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to helping you bring your stories to life very soon :)

    Danielle is a gifted and talented photographer AND instructor. I elected to take a personal and private session with her. I spent over two hours absorbing excellent instruction and her contagious excitement for photography was energizing. She has a very professionally created instruction platform with lots of visual teaching aids and material to take with you.
    She is capable of tailoring her instruction to her pupil.
    I left with a head full of information and some homework to accomplish. I scheduled a three hour private follow up ( for this week) and I’m so very glad I did!!! I can’t wait to go over my assignment and figure out what I did right and wrong.
    If you elect to take instruction from Danielle you will be getting a talented, passionate person who will give you more than your money’s worth of teaching!!!!! I highly recommend her!

    I received a one-on-one photography lesson as a gift from a loved one and I couldnt be more ecstatic about my experience with Danielle. I had minimal experience with photography and didnt know much about using my cameras manual mode functions prior to meeting with Danielle. She provided me with the foundations I needed to start shooting right away in an easy to understand and super fun lesson! She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things photography and her passion for the art is evident. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your teaching or photography needs!!

    Frequently asked questions

    After understanding your goals, I will recommend a plan of action for your lesson(s).

    A standard lesson is 2-3 hours in length. With advice from a professional, a digital presentation of everything you learn, and on-going support via email - I've had nothing but happy and successful students!

    Whether it is for your personal education or to better your business, I will give you clear insight on the best course of action so you are guaranteed to exceed your goals. 

    I have been a professional portrait and travel photographer for 10+ years. From managing a high-end portrait studio to developing my own curriculum for photography and Lightroom workshops, I've had the honor of sharing my skills and teaching over 500 students these creative skills.

    Online courses start at $29.

    From nannying full time, coaching gymnastics, and helping others learn the creative world of photography, I've always loved teaching. 

    In 2009, as a portrait studio photographer and manager, I was given the opportunity to build a curriculum to teach to our clients. Since then, I have perfected my curriculum and developed a successful freelance business teaching hundreds of students worldwide.

    Every age. From pre-teens to retirees, photography is a skill that anyone can learn. And I love teaching everyone! Whether you want to learn for your personal benefit or you are running a business that requires you to know these skills, I can help you develop your photography and editing skills quickly, accurately and with great confidence. 

    My most recent student has the best story. At 85 years old Martin is spending his time organizing a lifetime of photographs, from scans of old film prints to recent snapshots of his grandchildren and travels, his goal is to properly choose the best ones to create a family photo album that he will print and give to each of his 4 children to have for generations to come.

    With a weekly Lightroom lesson (and photography tips as I critique is images), together we are processing over  20,000 images in Lightroom. I'll be teaching him how to edit, enhance, export, and print. Then we will design a beautiful custom album that his family can cherish forever! 

    Photography and Photo Editing truly require hands-on learning. Be sure that you feel connected to your teacher and that they understand your ultimate goals. What's most important is that you learn at your pace, and you feel you are making progress every step of the way. 

    I know I can get you well on your way to feeling confident and inspired by your new skills within the first class. 

    What kind of photos do I want to take?

    What do I want to do with all of my photos?

    Is this personal or professional education?
