Read More of Our Story!
I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade and when we decided to move from Pennsylvania to Dallas, Texas then onto Corpus Christi, I had no idea what the last three years would mean to me.
Alongside photography, I've also spent years working with kids at various summer camps, nannying, teaching dance and more that combining my love of capturing memories on camera and creating moments for families to laugh and have fun together came together more seamlessly than I ever could have imagined.
It's the life that is in the little moments to the big moments. The photos that we surround ourselves with because they narrate our lives together are the proof that our love stories have been built over time.
And it's an honor to be a part of capturing moments, especially in my "office" AKA the beach (true story, I'm there so often that you'll frequently see me posting on social media that I'm back at the office with a photo of the sand and waves).
Want to hear a crazy story? It's just a click away!
Our sweet little family...
Our family is made up of my spouse, myself, six cats and our dog. You'd be surprised to hear that I didn't start out as a cat person! But I've been told that that level of chaos definitely contributes to me being a pro at managing a lot of people in front of the camera.
And if you hear me mention: Audrey, Dink, Milkshake, Sparky, Alfie, Cappuccino, or Dragon...you can be sure it's one of my sweet fur babies!
More on Danielle!
These are a few of my favorite things...
At our house, family cuddle time usually involves reruns of FRIENDS, watching a good Marvel movie or being inspired by some of Gordon Ramsay's shows (Uncharted and Next Level are our current favorites!).
Outside of photography, I also nanny, teach dance to toddlers and art at Painting with a Twist!
You can say I like life with a little sprinkle of chaos and, honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Relaxed & Enjoyable

sweet families!
We had a wonderful experience with Danni Lea Photography! She did an amazing job capturing our group of nine, which included three little ones - no small task. She was incredibly accommodating to everyone’s needs and made the entire session feel relaxed and enjoyable. What really stood out was how she gave clear, immediate direction to help improve each shot. That guidance made a huge difference and helped us feel confident in front of the camera. She was patient, efficient, and truly knew how to bring out the best in our group. We’re so grateful for the beautiful photos and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially families with young kids!
100/10 Recommend!

Reached out to Danni for an extended family session (15 people) in Port Aransas 3 days before our trip after another photographer unexpectedly cancelled on me. Thankfully she was available and our experience far exceeded expectations! She was efficient in capturing a variety of photos in the one hour sunset session we booked. She was so friendly and made the 6 kiddos feel comfortable! We got a sneak peek back within 2 days and the photos are AMAZING!!! You never know what you are going to get when kids are in the mix but she worked her magic. 100/10 would recommend. We are so thankful for these treasured memories!!
From Camera Shy to Comfortable

Danielle went above and beyond for my husband and I! She helped along every step of the way from the start with engagement photos, to wedding planning questions and advice, to wedding day photos. Danielle has an amazing personality and way about her that makes even the most camera shy couple feel comfortable. We had so much fun for our photo sessions and the pictures came out incredible! With her experience she thought of pictures that I never thought of to help us cherish and forever remember our special day. I can not recommend Danni Lea Photography enough! She is fantastic!

Amazingly Comfortable

"I cannot speak highly enough about Danielle. She was the perfect photographer for us. My wife and I are rather photo adverse, but she made us both feel amazingly comfortable. She was able to do this both at engagement photo shoot and at the wedding itself. We had complete trust in Danielle and it was really nice to know that we didn’t need to worry about the photos during the wedding. We could not be more pleased with the photos she took. Each one captured our wedding perfectly. "

Laughed and Smiled the Whole Time

"We absolutely loved doing our engagement photos with Danni! The photos are beautiful and the experience was fun and easy. We laughed and smiled the whole time. Danni was accommodating, meeting us in Fort Worth, and continued to provide excellent customer service, providing us with many shots, and even checking in on us when the pandemic hit right around our wedding. Would definitely recommend her!"

"Danielle is great! She agreed, on short notice, to photograph our wedding proposal on Christmas Eve! The pictures were great, and she was so helpful in making sure the proposal went smoothly by keeping the public away from us while I hit the knee. She is so easy to work with and I highly recommend her!"
