As the owner of Fame Parties, I am so excited to be a part of everyone’s 15 Minutes of Fame. I truly love contributing to and connecting people —What better way to do that than to bring a party to you!?
I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in Photography, and got to Texas as quickly as I could. Since moving to Houston, I have found my calling creating and capturing life’s moments with growing families, and thriving small businesses.
When I am not behind a camera or computer, you can find me with our son Jack, 2 dogs, Piper and Archer, volunteering for Rescued Pets Movement, or planning new travel experiences with my husband Bret, dogs, and friends. (That’s how I became the Chief Fun Officer!)
I’ve been a photographer for 12 years. For me, photography started as a hobby and grew into a business. I love what I do! I mean, who wouldn’t LOVE getting to spend their days capturing candid moments, belly laughs, and all the little details that make your family unique. My goal is to capture the joy and love that brings people together.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me exploring new places, trying out new recipes, or spending time with my husband and adorable dog. I also have a serious obsession with coffee, so if you want to bond over a good iced latte, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to FAME party with you!
I’ve been behind the lens for over a decade, starting in videography before finding my passion for photography. For the past two years, my focus has been on families—documenting connection, laughter, and the little details that make each story unique. I want your photos to bring back exactly how it felt to be in that moment.
When I’m not taking photos, I’m with my wife, our daughter, and our Great Dane, making memories of our own around Houston. I’ve taught special education for 7 years, so I know the value of patience, flexibility, and connection. I also love to read, create content, and make a Sonic run now and then. I can’t wait to meet your crew and tell your story through photos you’ll love forever.
My love for photography was sparked by my son, but it’s grown into a true passion that lights me up every day! When I’m not in my scrubs, you’ll usually find me behind the camera, chasing the laughter, chaos, and sweet connections that make families so special. I believe the best photos aren’t stiff or perfectly posed—they’re the real, in-between moments that tell your story and feel just as joyful and authentic as the people in them!
At home, life is full of love and energy with my husband, our sweet son, and two wild dogs who keep us on our toes! Family inspires everything I do, and it’s why I’m so passionate about capturing memories for others. My goal with every session is simple, to freeze those little moments of connection and joy so you can relive them for years to come!
Everyone calls me Dani! I’m an elementary teacher in Austin, TX, and have been a photographer since 2017, capturing everything from portraits to weddings. When I’m not teaching or behind the camera, you’ll probably find me on the couch with my dog, Lucy, plotting our next snack break.
I have had a long journey with photography! I started learning in high school and started my business soon after graduate school. I studied family science and worked as a preschool teacher for 8 years before turning my side business into my full time job. I wouldn’t trade it for anything! I like to think of myself as a “moment catcher”. Capturing the laughs, nose scrunches, and genuine love are some of the greatest privileges of this job.
When I’m not with my camera I’m making jewelry/ other crafts for another side business, teaching online college classes, running, and spending time with my husband and our fur baby. Born and raised in DFW (and high school sweethearts), we have settled in Denton. We love the free spirited and diverse vibe of Denton and the closeness to home. I look forward to meeting you and capturing your Fame Party!
I pour my heart into everything I do, whether it’s a random dance party with my two little girls, cooking something new or finding raw inspiration through the lens of my camera. If there is one thing I have learned in life, it’s to do what makes you happy! Getting to be a Star Photographer for Fame is a dream come true! My inspiration stems from my love of capturing moments that fly by way too fast. I value moments over poses, and laughter is my favorite thing to photograph.
One of my absolute favorite aspects of photography is the friendship’s I’ve had the opportunity to form with my clients. Seeing returning faces over the years and documenting your life as it evolves is so special to me. I promise to be the best third wheel you could ever ask for. Trust me, I’m hilarious and not afraid to do anything to get you and your family laughing!
