About Danya

I'm a firm believer that there is never a wrong time for chocolate and ice cream for dinner is always acceptable. I laugh loudly, I love hard, and taking your photo is always the highlight of my day! I will gladly give you my coat to wear if our session gets cold, and I guarantee I'll keep an eye on everything to make sure the photos we capture are perfect- full of life, full of mess, and full of all that you (and your family or lover) are!

I'm Danya but you can call me Dani or Dan!

Hey bubba!

Professional Photos captured by Nicole Catherine Photography

I grew up with my immediate family in Southern California, but all the rest of my family overseas. While we visited them often, and the visits were some of my favorite memories, I sorely missed the connection when we weren't with them. And therein grew my love for the connection between people- between families, between friends, between lovers, and of course between you and your furry friends. Getting to capture moments of connection (a squeeze of a shoulder or booty, a kiss on the forehead, a running jump in to someone's arms), these are the moments I cherish and the memories I love to capture. Sometimes it takes an outsider to help illuminate these moments, and sometimes those immortal captures, are the perfect reminders of just how deep and strong connection can be. Plus, who doesn't love cute photos??

I try and turn everything into an adventure- whether it's a trip to the grocery store or a photo session in the desert. I gladly (and loudly) point out every dog I see and have been known to make a mean chocolate shake.
