You, Unfiltered

black and white portraits of a man wearing a flannel

REAL PORTRAITS FOR REAL PEOPLE. NO MILESTONE REQUIRED.

"I'd love photos of myself... but there's no special reason."

Here's the truth: You don't need a holiday, milestone, or "special occasion" to justify booking a session. 

RAW portraits are for anyone, any age, any stage of life.

I thought I'd hate every photo

“I thought I’d hate every photo. I’m not the kind of guy who likes being in front of a camera.
But these portraits feel like me - no pretending, no posing. Just the real me.” 

- R.F.

AS I AM PORTRAIT SESSIONS - Real Portraits for Real People

THIS IS YOUR PERMISSION SLIP TO SHOW UP AS YOU ARE.  

Because if you believe you're too (insert your excuse here) to be photographed, that story is affecting other parts of your life too.

No professional hair needed

No professional makeup needed

No new clothing needed

Just come as you are.

All black and white for added awesomeness!

Become suspiciously confident

The Experience Includes

• A 2-hour black-and-white portrait experience
• 3 looks and 2 backdrops (light + dark)
• Posing direction - because confidence looks different on everyone
• Immediate image reveal after your session

It’s real, it’s simple, and it’s often emotional in the best way.

Say Yes to Yourself

Investing in yourself is radical. It's permission to take up space. Permission to be seen as you are unfiltered.

I’ve avoided being in photos for years

“I’ve avoided being in photos for years. I always had an excuse - I’d lose a little weight, buy new clothes, wait until I felt better about myself. But this session wasn’t about fixing anything. It was the first time I walked into a room and didn’t feel like I had to perform.

Danielle didn’t ask me to smile or pose - she just let me be. And when I saw the photos, I actually teared up because I recognized myself. Not the version I try to be… the real one and I LOVED her.

Every woman needs to experience this.”
- S.K.


Commonly Asked Questions

01

How do I book?

Click the start planning a session button.

02

Can I customize my purchase?

Yes! You can purchase whatever images you love in any combination you like.

03

Can I schedule this for my child?

Yes, this is perfect for kids age 10 and up as long as they can take a smidge of direction. I do limit this to two outfits for anyone under the age of 21. 

04

When will I receive my photos?

You will be able to see and purchase your photos right after your session. Any print or digital products you order will be ready in about 3-4 weeks.

05

Do I have to let you share my photos online?

No. You’ll be the first one to see your photos (usually immediately after we shoot!) and if you want to keep it that way, I respect your decision. This is for YOU, and your comfort is my number one priority (well, once you step out of your comfort zone to work with me!)

 

06

What do people do with their portraits?

They keep an album to remind them how awesome they are. They put a stunning portrait on their wall so they can walk past it every day and remember how amazing they felt when they chose to love themselves. They update their social media profiles with authentic imagery that’s the opposite of AI in the best possible way. 

I would love to photograph you
