Family pictures

I met Dani through work and have been blessed to know her for a little over 2 years now. I have 3 daughters who I try to have photographed every year but my youngest is on the spectrum so it can be a challenge for her. When Dani told me she was offering Christmas sessions this year I jumped at the opportunity. Dani has always been so warm, accepting, and empowering towards me that I knew she would work well with my girls too! The sign up process even asked specific questions about the kids and if we had anything that was important for Dani to know which allowed me to share about their personalities so she could better prepare for the session. This is not something my previous photographers have done. She takes so many additional steps to cater to her customers as individuals which is comforting to all parents especially those who have special needs children.
My older two were immediately taken with Dani and enjoyed every second of the session. They even had to go back for thanks you, goodbyes, and hugs at the end. Everything was perfect!
My SPED child needed a moment to warm up but she was smiling and excited the majority of the time. When I saw a hair or hair band out of place and began to fret, Dani reminded me it's all part of the moment and that it was still perfect. The magical pictures she captured literally brought tears to my eyes. For one I'm not sure how she managed to get the pictures she does but she got all of my children. Usually, the pictures of my SPED child are just kind of what they are and no one else has really bothered with her before. She usually doesn't cooperate or she is upset to be there. Dani was patient and gave her the setting that allowed her to be herself, her true authentic self, which relaxed her and finally we have pictures that capture her beautiful uniqueness. Something we haven't been able to get yet. And if that isn't enough she has the husband's stamp of approval. He is an introvert and hates annual picture sessions but not a single quip from him. This was the first session we weren't running away from and it was a longer session than the 15 minute ones we typically opt for since the kids have short attention spans.
I am over the moon about Dani and her services and feel that anyone would be lucky to have her as their photographer. When you leave, you will feel like you have a new family member. She is simply the best.

Cardinal Photography - the best!

Dani, was the best photographer we could ask for! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, when normally I am very shy and do not feel like I am photogenic. But the pics look amazing! And she worked so well with my son, he loved her! All of our guests and pics are great documentation for the day. Will definitely be going back to Dani for future photography needs.
