Nice to meet you
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Danielle and I'm the
face behind the camera. HLT Photography was originally started in 2018, then I had a few kids, and now I am back, rebranded, and ready to pour into the same passion I've always had for photography! This time, I truly understand the importance of capturing those fleeting moments. and milestones.
And while it's a solid Bob Ross reference for my fellow fans, the name actually comes from my husband using my nickname and telling me I'm such a Happy Little Trees when I take photos. He's not wrong ;)
My Story
Like most of us "photogs," my story starts with a point and shoot Canon for my 16th birthday. Throw in a couple "Miss Photo" awards from my Sorority days and being a millennial mom with a phone glued to her hand, and I'm just surprised it took me this long! My favorite thing is capturing all the big and small moments of my kids, and the ability to give cherished memories like that to others is what drives my passion. I love the new sibling bonds during newborn shoots, how silly mom and dad get during family shoots, and how special it is to capture moments no one else thinks to get. While I will make you do a few posed shots, the magic lies in the candids, and that's where having me as your FUN photographer makes all the difference. My goal is to make you (and the littles!) comfortable in front of the camera from the very start of our session. People have said I'm like their long lost friend/cousin after the sessions are over, and I promise I'm the kind where you'll want to "do this again sometime!"
