Welcome to DSP!!
I’m so happy you're here!
In the rush of everyday life, time moves quickly, and moments can easily slip away. Photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about capturing the magic of fleeting moments and turning them into timeless memories.
Photography is Love
With an appreciation for detail and a knack for putting people at ease, I specialize in capturing the unique character of individuals, families, and couples. Driven by a deep sense of empathy and a passion for humanity, I’m dedicated to celebrating the authentic stories that make each person special.
The story of a photographer
As a Denver native with a love for travel, I’ve lived in cities like Pittsburgh and Nashville, each enriching my perspective. But at heart, I’m a Colorado girl through and through! I'm a sucker for a sense of humor and believe that life’s better when we laugh and work together. I was raised by a strong and beautifully complex single mother who poured her best into me, instilling in me the values of being a helper.
Throughout my late teens and into my early twenties, I worked in the hospitality & service industry. This experience allowed me the opportunity to learn how to create welcoming environments. It also revealed in me a passion for dedicated service and genuine customer care. In my late twenties, I earned a Masters in Social Work and embarked on a nearly decade-long journey as a mental health therapist.
These years provided the foundation for self-discovery and cultivated my deep belief in humanity. This unique background has enabled me to hold space for discomfort, a skill that translates well into crafting friendly environments for those who may feel uneasy in front of the camera.
Photography has always been at the center of my heart. In 2015 I started Danielle Shields Photography and I haven't looked back since! My intrinsic nature as a helper ensures you'll have a photographer who genuinely cares about your experience. I believe that a photo session is about so much more than just getting you to look good. It's about helping you to feel good and creating an environment where we can capture images that truly reflect you!
Thank you for considering a session with me, it's a privilege I hold with deep gratitude! I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
