Ok...Its time for a "little about me". Little is a great adjective. Though some would say my 5 feet tall, small frame, would constitute me as being "little" I would like to bring forth a new adjective...compact!

When people ask me where I am from my reply is usually, "pick a year." Growing up as a military brat, I had the opportunity to travel around the United States and Europe...Spreckenze Duetch? (No? me either) After 25 years in the service, my father retired in Alabama, which for me brought a whole new meaning to "Sweet Home Alabama". Playing hide-n-seek...[more]

When people ask me where I am from my reply is usually, "pick a year." Growing up as a military brat, I had the opportunity to travel around the United States and Europe...Spreckenze Duetch? (No? me either) After 25 years in the service, my father retired in Alabama, which for me brought a whole new meaning to "Sweet Home Alabama". Playing hide-n-seek in "Cornelius Vineyard" (Nanny and Paw-pa to me), spending time at Cold Water Creek, and somehow managing to incorporate "y'all" into my vocabulary became a way of life. Aww the good ol days..what am I talking about? I still do those things!

At this point one might be asking themselves how Danielle made it all the way from Weaver, Alabama to San Francisco, California. Well, it's quite simple. I drove! That is, after I graduated top of my class and received "Best in Show" from The Art Institute of Atlanta with my Bachelors degree in Photographic Imaging. (Boy, that's a mouth full!)

After three years of being a Product photographer I left the dark studio when I found myself surrounded by little people in suits and fancy dresses. No, this wasn't a nightmare! I was shooting a wedding for a friend, we ALL know how that goes, and there were children everywhere! I found myself playing pick-a-boo, making noises I never thought I could make, laughing...what was this? Why, I was even having fun! Their little laughs, their little faces, their little expressions. The genuine love and affection that exudes from a child motivated and excited me! Inspired by these compact individuals who can bring a smile to the gloomiest person in the room, I embarked on a new path to be a Children's Photographer and love every minute of it!

So...that's a "little about me". Compact. [less]

  Danielle, I really like your photo of the kid in the subway. I'm a photographer too and saw your name on the list. This is my first ten minutes on the site. It looks very cool and very smart. Scott http://www.ScottHessPhoto.com   [less]
