Hi, I am Danielle, the photographer behind Danielle Marie Photography! I am a mom of four very active kids, which means I understand firsthand how quickly life moves. One moment you are counting tiny fingers and toes, and the next you are watching those same little hands tie cleats, lace ballet shoes, or grab car keys. Time does not slow down, but photography gives us a way to hold onto the moments that matter.

My passion for photography grew from wanting to freeze those everyday memories with my own children. The silly faces, the missing teeth, the proud smiles, the quiet moments, and the milestones that seem to pass in the blink of an eye. As a New Jersey based photographer serving families across Northern New Jersey, I am committed to creating images that feel real, joyful, and true to your family’s story.

Family photography is at the heart of what I do. I love capturing the laughter, the connection, and the in-between moments that show who you are together. Whether we are chasing toddlers through a field, documenting a quiet newborn snuggle, or celebrating a birthday milestone, my goal is always the same. I want you to look back at your photos and feel the moment all over again.

I also have a deep love for dance and sports photography. As a mom of dancers and a former athlete myself, I know how much dedication, passion, and personality go into these activities. Dance portraits and sports portraits are more than just pictures. They tell the story of who your child is right now.

Whether I am photographing families, dancers, athletes, newborns, or milestone sessions, my approach is always warm, patient, and fun. I want your session to feel relaxed and enjoyable, not stiff or stressful. The best images come from genuine moments, and I work hard to create an environment where those moments can unfold naturally.

I am located in Jefferson Township, New Jersey, and proudly serve families throughout Northern New Jersey. From Sparta to Rockaway, Roxbury to Sussex, Chester to Oak Ridge, and everywhere in between, I love meeting new families and helping them preserve the memories that mean the most.

If you are looking for a New Jersey photographer who will treat your family with care, capture your personalities with honesty, and create images you will treasure for years, I would love to work with you. Your story deserves to be remembered, and I am here to help you hold onto it.
