Don't take our word for it...
I learned more today than I could ever have imagined! I'm so amped to get started taking pictures of EVERYTHING in the manual setting no less!! Something that yesterday was overwhelming to even think about. Danielle is kind, patient and funny. I've been wanted to take a class for years and finally jumped in with my old Canon. The only thing I regret is not taking this class sooner!! Don't wait!
Everything Danielle does, she does with her whole heart, a lot of talent, and thoughtfulness. She's done work for me since 2007 and I have never been disappointed. She is an asset to me and my business. Jennifer Little, Little's Photography
I've had now two photography classes. Every time I leave with a new wealth of knowledge. There's so much to learn and Danielle has so much to share. I'm not a very creative person and Danielle shares how to look at things in a creative way. I'm excited about learning to look at things differently. We all can be artistic in our own way and it takes a great teacher to show us this. Highly recommend taking a class. 100% worth it!
Danielle is truly a talented teacher and photographer. I highly highly recommend taking any of Danielle's courses if you want to become a better creative for yourself or a business. My mom took her DSLR beginner course and I've never actually absorbed so much useful information before. I've tried to learn on YouTube before but it never clicked as it did during this course. Now I actually feel like a pro!
As an entrepreneur, I have had the opportunity to take both her photography and lightroom classes. I am so pleased with everything Danielle has shared with me. She is super patient and I can not wait to take more classes!
I am so happy I attended Danielle's photography class! The experience was like no other. She was clear, funny and talented. I learned many things I did not know before. I am excited to apply what I've learned. Thank you, Danielle!
Danielle is a commensurate professional! She does an amazing job, and is worth every penny! Thanks for all your help in getting our real estate business up and running. We look forward to utilizing more of your services down the road!
Danielle has been so great to work with and I have been so impressed with how she was able to capture the vision of our company, Coble Construction, and our company culture. I highly recommend her for all your online marketing needs.
This class taught me so much about my camera that I actually feel like I can now use it and create some great memories. Don't be intimidated by your camera and miss all the great options available to take great pictures. Sign up for a class with Danielle, you'll be in love with the prospect of being a much better picture taker when you leave. I can't wait to practice and go back for another lesson soon!
Absolutely loved my headshot session with Danielle! She made me feel comfortable, knew exactly where/when to shoot to capture the feel I was looking for, and even gave me a few photo tips during the session! I will definitely be hiring her for future photo sessions when I need an updated shot!
Danielle was a wonderful teacher. She is patient and took time to explain things to me and gave me time to practice on my own. I look forward to taking another class with her sometime soon.
Danielle is super easy to work with and really puts you at ease. I'm not a fan of being photographed, I always feel so awkward. Danielle made the whole process absolutely painless and my headshot was more than I could have hoped.
Working with Danielle has been an absolute pleasure. She truly has an eye for the shot and knows how to bring out the best of the scenario, or simply sit back and wait for the right moment. Her photography makes the ordinary extraordinary!
Danielle was absolutely WONDERFUL! She was very personable, she remembered everybody's names, she was great at finding a spot, she was aware of our comfort levels. She was intuitive and in-tune with the environment. It was a wonderful experience. Still well remembered with very fond memories 7 months later. I would HIGHLY recommend Danielle!!
This class is worth every penny and then some. I cannot say enough positive things about Danielle and this class. I have had a digital SLR for several years and was resigned to being intimidated by it. Danielle explained the functions of the camera and its settings so well. For the first time, I FINALLY am getting what it means to take the camera off "auto" and why and how to do that.
I've taken multiple classes with Danielle. She's very in-depth and I learn so much more than I expected too each time. She provided great tips and explained the settings in a way that finally made sense to me. She really knows how to break down the science of photography. Danielle has a great, positive attitude, and her passion for photography is contagious!
I have worked with Danielle of Live Wonderful Photography for the past few photoshoots for my clothing brand, Deli Fresh Threads. Not only do I enjoy working with her; my models all love taking photos with her. She takes amazing photos of the models in my shirts. My models are everyday people and she makes them feel comfortable in front of the camera. We always have a fun photo shoot!
I thoroughly enjoyed my photo shoot with Danielle who has the ability to bring out the best in her subjects, allowing them to relax and enjoy the process. And, of course, the results speak for themselves in that the photographs are exceptional.

It was wonderfully enlightening, professional and fun and on my level! Loved it!
Finding the right photographer to tell our brand's story was incredibly important to us. We truly needed a storyteller and we found that in Danielle Hanusek with Live Wonderful Photography!
