The First 48 Hours: Baby Rooks

There’s something so special about the first 48 hours of life. You’ve just brought this little human into the world, and even though they’ve been with you for the past (typically) 9 months, you’re meeting them for the first time. I am a huge fan of birth photography and fresh 48 sessions, because like weddings, they are such an intimate moment in life.

A little back story, I met Ashley when we were still teenagers through my best friend! So we’ve known each other for well over a decade! I had the honor of photographing Ashley & Jason’s first “Fresh 48” Session two years ago, when their son, Hawkins, was born. To be back to photograph their second son was at the same hospital, one room over from where we were two years ago was surreal. Baby Rooks is so precious, and Hawkins already proving to be the best big brother!

Ashley & Jason, thank you so much for inviting me into this space of time again! Seeing ya’ll interact as a new, beautiful family of 4 meant so much to me.

It was so wonderful working with Danielle during our whole wedding process! From the moment I initially reached out, she was kind, very helpful, and great to work with. She was always helpful and quick to reply. She worked with our wedding planner to come up with a great wedding day timeline and adjusted it based off my ideas. I loved being around her on our wedding day and knew that she had it all under control! Throughout the whole process she helped my husband and I feel comfortable behind the camera. Her photos are absolutely amazing!! Our photos are bright, elegant, and timeless. We will cherish our photos forever!! I could not be happier that we chose to work with Danielle for our wedding!!

We really enjoyed working with Danielle on our wedding day! She was great to bounce around ideas before and during the event, very thorough in her questionnaire, and super pleasant to be around bringing just the right energy to the mix. We got a ton of lovely photos to capture the essence of our beautiful wedding! Overall, we're very pleased with our decision to work with Danielle and would recommend her to any couple who needs a fantastic photographer for their wedding!

I could not recommend Danielle enough. My husband and I wrapped up our wedding experience feeling as if we had made a new friend through Danielle. She made it a point to get to know us on a level that was more than just transactional. My husband Cooper expressed to me after the wedding that Danielle had made him feel as though he was important as the groom, while making him feel comfortable and calm through the whole process...I chose Danielle as my photographer because you could really see and feel the romance and happiness of the couples through her photos, and I absolutely could not be any more happier with my choice of photographer. We loved every step of the way with Danielle!

When we were looking through photographers galleries, we loved the style of Danielle's photos the best. Her work is bright, classic and elegant. We didn’t have any concerns prior to working with Danielle and the moment we met her, we knew we had made the right choice. She made us feel so comfortable. We absolutely love our photos! Danielle, you captured our wedding day perfectly. Choosing Danielle as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made! We couldn’t love Danielle and her work more!
