Every time I look at all the pictures they have captured for us it brings me right back to that special day and I will forever cherish those memories!!”


Danielle and Dillon did our engagement, wedding and maternity pictures. We never had pictures done before and they both made sure we were comfortable during the shoots. Every idea I had they made sure to capture the special moments for us. They work together as a great team and I am thankful our paths have crossed because we have also gained two great friends. Every time I look at all the pictures they have captured for us it brings me right back to that special day and I will forever cherish those memories!!”

I cannot say enough amazing things about them or our experience!


They provided excellent information about what to expect, respond quickly to any questions we had, and gave us helpful tips for planning our session. On the day of the pictures, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and worked great with our children. Danielle and Dillon were organized and clearly planned ahead so the process was efficient, easy and enjoyable. Most importantly, the pictures exceeded our expectations! They captured exactly what we were looking for and came out amazing. I highly recommend CDM Photography. We absolutely loved our experience with them!

Thank you Danielle and Dillon!!

Happy family sitting together in fallen autumn leaves during outdoor photoshoot.

"...I wanted a session centered around fun and just allowing the kids to be their selves with no strings attached. Boy was this difficult lol the kids and dog were running around like crazy, but Danny and Dillion knew exactly how to "pull them in". I will say and repeat what my children said, this was the most fun they have ever had at a photoshoot..."

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!



As a mama myself, I know first hand how extremely fast time flies! These precious moments with our littles are fleeting and they grow so stinking quick! If you have been holding off booking a session for whatever reason I encourage you to just do it! Don't wait until "the time is right" when they are bigger or until you think they will "do better" during a session! I can assure you that we will create beautiful memories no matter what, and make sure your littles have fun while doing it! Let's capture their real personality and smiles so you can always look back on your babies just as they are in every stage! Because as chaotic as this one may seem, it won't be like this for long!


With Love, Danielle
