Danielle attended Westminster College on a theater scholarship where she studied communication and photography. Her early work focused on the invention of stories and characters, but drastically changed after an experience photographing circus performers. Inspired by the vulnerability and realness she captured, Danielle began finding and photographing characters she encounters in her daily life. She is fascinated that her camera acts as a catalyst for brief, intense relationships with subjects who welcome her into their lives. Danielle lives and works in Salt Lake City with her husband, Marcos.
