We recently had family photos taken by Danielle and we are so pleased with them. She is super easy to work with and her communication was excellent. She responded quickly to my questions and let us have fun with our session. She captured the lighting perfectly. My friends are all wanting to book with her, we will use her again for our next family photos! read more

Danielle was amazing! We had the best photoshoot and got great shots with my family, head shots, and even a pic with my dog. She is so creative and talented! So happy with the whole process from start to finish. read more

My wife and I LOVE capturing the love within our family through photographs and we have been in search of a great family photographer for a long time. We've used several other photographers in the past, and while they have all done great work, there was always an underlying reason why we never used them again. With Danielle, I can confidently say, I think we found our family photographer. We have a few friends who have used Danielle before and their pictures were always amazing. So we knew when we had a need to update our family photo, there was no doubt who we were using. I had been following Danielle on Facebook for a while and when I saw a post for Fall mini-sessions, I jumped on it. The price point for a mini-session was reasonable compared to what we have paid in the past. The session was only 15 minutes, which I was VERY skeptical about. How in the world is that enough time to capture the moments? We arrived to our session over an hour early to find good parking. In that time, I watched from afar, several families arrive for their session. And it was like clockwork, watching these mini-sessions go by. It was finally our turn. We walked away from our session and my 2 daughters both said "Wow, that was so easy." It really was. Danielle was quick, she knew what shots she wanted. She didn't waste time thinking about where she wanted us or how to pose us. She didn't have to think about lighting or keep making adjustments to her camera. I mean, she knows what she is doing and it's amazing how much we did in that 15 minutes. Got my pictures today...A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I scrolled through the gallery and all I could think was "How can we only pick 8". Our location was the same location where my wife and I took our wedding pictures almost 20 years ago. The photos are perfect. Really, above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Danielle!!! I did not mention anything about the pricing in this review, as it my change at some point. But I will say this, my goal from this mini-session, was to find a photographer that was talented, did amazing work and was reasonably priced to where I could see our family being a repeat customer....OFTEN. Danielle Miranda Photography checked all the boxes for me. I have a wife getting her BA next year and a High School Senior after that. Just 2 of the many sessions I know we will be booking. read more

We just received our photos from Danielle, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude. Danielle brings so much kindness, creativity, and genuine joy to every session.

She both captures the authenticity of the moment and truly elevates it to art. I find myself smiling every time I look at our pictures because they feel so us.

If you are one of those people who are on the fence about whether photos are worth the time, effort, cost....with Danielle Miranda the answer is YES. Danielle has a way to capture magic with her camera. The photos and memories she creates for families is truly a gift. I have been using her for 7 years and each year the photos top the last year, which just shows the effort Danielle puts into her work. She has an amazing ability to capture smiles, even when kids (or husbands ) don't want to cooperate and really make you feel comfortable. You will get your perfect Christmas card photo, but you will also get so many more images that show your family's spirit and love for one another. read more

Danielle is absolutely amazing. I love how she has a calm and inviting demeanour that really makes you feel comfortable, which is super important for people like me who feel awkward in front of a camera. She took portraits for my brother - shout out for supporting Special Olympics athletes- and the came out amazing. She also took our beautiful engagement and wedding photos that had beautiful composition. Her guide for choosing locations + times of day to best take pictures was also super helpful when we were deciding on locations. read more

I have used Danielle now twice. I have never looked better in photos! I first used her for rebranding photos for my real estate business. My partner and I were using a selfie headshot taken outside for years, and thought we looked good! We finally decided it was time to "grow up" and look professional, so we were excited to see what Danielle could do for us. She was AMAZING. the photo shoot was fun and easy, and we are now a whole new brand! I got an email regarding a mini session for fall, so I thought, "WTH- my kids and I need new photos". Let me tell you.....the session was 15 minutes. On the dot. My kids were like" what a waste- how can you get anything in so little time"...Obviously they did not trust me or the process..... Danielle got me close to FIFTY insanely gorgeous photos....needless to say, mom DOES know best. Do not even hesitate when looking for a photographer. Danielle is incredible. She's great with young kids, teenagers, young adults, and this old lady! read more

Danielle was so good! She came to the house, worked with us on our shots, had great suggestions and got us the pictures back pretty quickly.

Thank you for capturing these moments of my family. We love all the photos. It was too hard to choose 5 so we had to buy the entire digital album. We will be booking more shoots in the near future. read more

Danielle has true talent. I hired her to take photos of our extended family (13 people) for my mother in laws birthday. Most of the people don't like to be photographed but she made everyone feel relaxed and natural. She was efficient and took tons of photos in less than 30 min which was great since the kids have a short attention span. She returned us SO many amazing photos we couldn't choose and had to own them all. Her turnaround time was incredible too. Danielle overdelivered on what I wanted to have from this photo session. Everyone is so happy with the photos and we have memories for a lifetime now. Hire Danielle, you won't be disappointed. read more

We continue to choose Danielle to photograph our family because each and every time I am just blown away by her pictures. Each one is a gift. Her intuition as an artist, photographer, and mom are spot on. I absolutely trust her to capture us looking and feeling our best with peak expressions of our truest selves. Thank you, Danielle!!! read more

Danielle was amazing. She was great with my toddler and baby as well. She got them to be comfortable, smiling and giggling right when they step out of the car. She even got my toddler to do her real smile instead of her fake smiles in pictures. She was easy to work with before and during our family and daughters' first birthday photo session. We got our photos back in less than a week. We will definitely book with her for future photo session. She does mini photo session as well. read more

Where is the 6th star?!?! Full disclosure, I'm obsessed with capturing photos of my kids, so I use a few photographers to get different styles and do a LOT of sessions every year. Danielle is hands-down the best! We've been using her for over 5 years and every single session is my next fav. Her photos adorn the walls of my house and her creativity and editing is fabulous! I've referred people to her who are equally amazed at what she can capture with your family/kids - who are cooperative or not. She has young kids of her own, so she gets it, and she's easy-going and flexible to the max (not easy to find in a photographer)! If your kids are hangry, tired, or just not having photos that day, she's got you (and your kids!) and will still capture amazing images! I can't say enough about her....book her and see the magic for yourself! read more

Danielle is by far the best photographer that we have ever had! We have now used her twice for our holiday cards and the pictures end up on my wall.

Breathtaking!! I know my wonderful family of 5 is beautiful but what Danielle did with our family photos is just AMAZING! We were traveling for vacation and I found her online. Getting setup was a breeze with the scheduling tool and she was responsive, friendly, and very clear on where to meet. My 3 boys can be wild but she rolled with the punches and kept them engaged, playful, and smiling at the camera. We were done in 40 minutes and every single photo is fantastic. Turnaround time was quick and I cannot say enough great things about the experience and how wonderful the photos are!! Thank you Danielle! read more

Danielle is magic! She works so quickly and makes it fun for everyone! Her photos are beautiful. Highly highly recommend!

Danielle has been taking pictures of our family since our daughter was 2yrs old, 7 years later and 3 girls later we continue to have Danielle take all our family portraits. I remember meeting Danielle for the first time and the first thing I told her was "good luck trying to get our sour patch to smile, she never smiles for pictures" literally within seconds our baby girls was smiling from ear to ear. We can't say enough about Danielle, I don't know how she does it but she captures the most amazing perfect shots...... I always tell myself it will be easy choosing photos from our gallery because with my crazy girls I don't think there will be that many great shots.......lets just say EVERY single time I end up buying to whole album!! She is GREAT at what she does. read more
