Beyond The Lens Photography bio picture

Visual Artist Unleashed

I am a mother, a wife, a friend, and a photographer.  Photography is the part of my life that has brought me here:

Welcome to my blog.  Here you can find my most recent work along with other tidbits from life's adventures.  I have had a camera in my hand since my first son was born 12 years ago.  Since then, what was a hobby, has flourished into an obsession and a career.  I find my passion for photography grows everyday.  Whether it is something new to learn, a new friend to make, or a new place to explore.  Photography challenges me, and allows me a creative outlet all at the same time.  So I welcome you to look around and get to know me a bit, feedback and conversation are always appreciated.  And check back often for new posts and stories!!!

Engagement session; Kelly and Chris

I finally got the chance to second shoot an engagement session with Eric Langlois this weekend. I’ve been touch and go these last few weeks with CRAZY things going on in life. I had scheduled this with Eric, but of course things came up…so all in all I drove and hour and a half, to shoot for an hour and a half, and drive the hour and a half back home! I have to say Kelly and Chris were a lot of fun, but I’m sure things really heated up after I left. Thanks again Eric for the shoot….next time I’m not leaving till it’s done!!!!!


And lastly…some shots of Eric, rockin out!

Boys and Their Bubbles…Family Photography;Branndon, Christian, and Noah

I have been out of the loop for a bit with some family things going on. My husband had knee surgery, and now that he is all heeled up I can stop waiting on him hand and foot and get back to business!!!!! Not really, but I did get the camera out…

I took these shots last week of the boys outside playing with bubbles. Noah (the little one) loves to be outside. As soon as his feet hit the floor in the morning he is asking to go outside. Branndon and Christian decided to take him outside and blow some bubbles with him. While he couldn’t really blow the bubbles…he loved chasing them!

These two are the most amazing big brothers a kid could ask for. While they don’t get along with each other all the time, their love for the littlest Fuller binds them! They constantly are at his beck and call…

February 20, 2009 - 1:38 pm Jessica - Holy smokes!!! The shot of your son through the bubble is seriously AMAZING. I am so impressed. Nice job!!!

Good Luck

May 21, 2008 - 1:33 pm Robin Dini Photography - so precious. i love the unobtrusive background, the colors in the bubbles, the intent looks on their faces. all of it. really beautiful memories there girlfriend.

May 21, 2008 - 12:33 pm eric langlois - AWESOME shots Danielle. Like Jake said, the shot of Christian through the bubble is RiDiCuLoUs. How'd you get AF to cooperate with that one? I also love the one of Noah bent down looking "all business."

May 21, 2008 - 8:10 am Jacob Bergmeier - That shot of your son through the bubble is PERFECT... I love it!

Wishes…..Family Photography; Branndon

I know I am suppose to be taking it easy and all…but I did get out today to play with my new lens and I got this shot of Branndon that I just love. To me, these are the gifts that we get. As photographers I mean. We get to go around and capture everyone else’s special moments, but every now and then we actually get to capture our own. I love my little gifts…my little boys….this is my little Branndon.

February 20, 2009 - 1:40 pm Jessica - Great shot and your comment is so sweet. It makes me want to go hug my boys! Too bad it is the middle of winter and there aren't any dandelions around right now. Who knew I'd wish for dandelions!

May 14, 2008 - 5:24 pm Salty Grapes Photography - This is so incredibly sweet!!! =) Makes me want to go out right now and puff dandelions everywhere!

May 8, 2008 - 1:42 pm Amber - How Cute! What a Summer Shot!

May 7, 2008 - 6:57 pm raw photo design - beautiful shot! I have a shot like that of Avery and it's my favorite one evah!

Rachel and Geoff; wedding in Connecitcut

I finally got to second shoot for Rob Transke!!! Rob and I have been talking about shooting together over the last few weeks and the opportunity finally came up! The most exciting part of the day for me was in the very beginning when we started shooting Rachel getting ready and we were in the convent next to the church where the ceremony took place. The light, texture, and over all personality of this place was just INSANE…and it really got our creative juices flowing! I did get a bit carried away with the shoe shots, but the video light was so much fun to play with. Anyhow……. here are some shots I took, in no particular order. Thanks again to Rob and his wonderful assistant/better half Kathleen for having me :)










This is the same shot, but I couldn’t decide which editing I liked more? Feedback?


May 14, 2008 - 4:21 pm david & kimi baxter - love your ring shots!! 2nd shoe shot is my fav!!

May 7, 2008 - 7:00 pm raw photo design - daaaaamn girl. to say you captured the details would be an understatement! me likey all of them. But since you're making me pick i'm going to put my money on the one with the direct light. the colors in all of the shots are gorgeous, nice work.

May 6, 2008 - 8:34 am nikki nicole photography - those details shots are crazy!!!!!

wow!!!

May 5, 2008 - 4:42 pm Robin Dini Photography - gorgeous light! the first shoe shot.

May 5, 2008 - 2:43 pm Robert J. Trenske - Hey Danielle, Awesome job, it was so good having you come second shoot for us. I had a blast and am glad that you did as well. I really enjoy the first shot of Rachel & Geoff and the 1st of the two shoe shots. I wish we could go back to that building and do a whole shoot there, the textures were incredible! Thank you again for all of your hard work and creativity.

May 5, 2008 - 12:27 pm laurie Crutchfield - on the one that is the same but edited differently I like the top one...but my ffav shoe shot is the one where you can see the complete door

May 5, 2008 - 11:43 am Jacob Bergmeier - Danielle, those shots are insane! awesome job...
