THIS IS MY WHY
THIS IS MY WHY
Hey, i’m Dani.
I am a wedding, storytelling & lifestyle photographer based out of Mesa, Arizona but will absolutely travel anywhere in the world to capture your story. I was born & raised here. If I could move somewhere else, my dream places would be: Santa Barbara CA, Portland Oregon, Or Hawaii. ( cmon who wouldn’t want to move there though) … Update: I DID MOVE TO HAWAII!!! for six months! It was the most incredible experience, and truly changed photography forever for me. I connected with clients & nature like I never have before.
I have been doing photography pretty much my entire life. I have always loved taking pictures of people/places. Whether it was of my friends, family, or a beautiful landscape shot, taking pictures & freezing moments in time has always intrigued me. I have always been so inspired by human interaction. The way we interact, connect & relate with other humans is a beautiful thing. Photography has opened up my eyes & shown me what love should feel like, not just look like.
My job is more than just throwing someone behind my camera & posing them. Each session is creative & unique, based on each couple's needs/wants/style/relationship & so much more. My photos capture timeless moments that you will get to enjoy for the rest of your life. My job is to create intimate & vulnerable moments, and free moments of any emotions you may be feeling during our session. Life isn't always perfect, but I find it remarkable that I get to capture all the different seasons of emotion during our sessions.
MEET THE CREW
I got married to my best friend, Jakob Prince, on December 14th, 2018. Married life is the best. I get to cuddle my best friend everyday, make jokes, cry, laugh, cry again & raise our family together. He really is my better half, & I wouldn’t change that for the world! We welcomed our sweet angel Hayden Prince into the world on October 29th, 2021. He is PURE joy. It has been such a joy watching my husband become a dad, he’s a natural! We then had the pleasure of welcoming our second son to the world, Finny, on January 31st 2025. He has made our family feel so complete.
Something else fun about us is I love our in-n-out runs at midnight, relaxing with a fat glass of wine, binge watching new shows together. Literally. We're always watching Netflix, lol. We love to learn new things about space, try new restaurants , decorate our home, go to the mall, & exploring the world together! We also like to people watch, eat tacos, chill with family& friends and of course, spend time with our sweet boy.
