About Danielle
I wanted to start this community as I believe there needs to be more support for women photographers. I've never been fortunate enough to have a female mentor. I am forever grateful for the male photographers who have taught me and shared their knowledge. I treasure all my photographer relationships, but I think it is important that women have other women to learn and share from.
​
Too often, women are taught to follow the rules than to take risks. Over the years, I've seen many talented women photographers not recognized for their work. I want more for all of us. I want women to have more empowerment, confidence, and to genuinely know how talented they are!
