With an appreciation for detail and a knack for putting people at ease, I specialize in capturing the character of individuals, corporate teams, and lifestyles!
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 I can capture images that truly reflect you. Whether it’s a quick 5 minutes at my Mobile Headshot Booth, or an extended individual or lifestyle session, I want you to leave feeling good and excited for your images!
Here's a little about me, so you can get a glimpse of the person behind the lens!
I'm a Denver native, however, Nashville stole my heart in 2011 when my husband and I moved here to pursue creative lifestyles. I'm a sucker for a sense of humor and believe that life’s better when we’re working 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 ability to learn how to create welcoming environments. It also showed me that I have a strong passion for hospitality and exceptional customer service. 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 my passion, and in 2015 I started Danielle Shields Photography. I haven't looked back since! My intrinsic nature as a helper ensures you'll have a photographer who genuinely cares about your experience.
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!
