Danielle Mahoney Photography bio picture

Danielle Mahoney

I am insanely passionate about taking snapshots of life. I love capturing personalities, moments, real life, love, fun, happiness.

I live in Maryland, in the Baltimore/Annapolis area.

Vic, Robin, Luke & Casey

Robin is another good friend of my sister Nicole’s.

When I was in Ohio in the Spring, I was able to meet Robin and her gorgeous family! In trying to get all of my amazing Ohio families’ pictures on my blog, I am so embarrassed to say that I misplaced their blog post in the shuffle.

So, with no further delay, please take a look! I am so glad I revisited their photos tonight and remembered what a great time we had!

Seriously, Casey is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.!

Bubba, Paige, Braden, Blake & Brutus

I had so much fun hanging out with this family! These boys are full of energy and they have the sweetest, most gentle dog I’ve ever met – Brutus. Bubba and Paige are such laid back, fun parents. I could not stop taking pictures of them!

Love the way Bubba is looking at Paige in this one!

July 31, 2009 - 4:01 pm Stephanie - LOVE your photography Danielle! Totally wish I was in your area, but unfortunately, I'm WAY down south. :( You are super talented though!!

Gary, Elaine, Grant, Brice & Evan

I have such a soft spot in my heart for families loaded up with boys! These guys were so cool, and they woke up super early on a Sunday to meet with me.

The feet photo – one of my most popular requests! I love it!

I mentioned they woke up early for their appointment- I had my hand hovered over this photo to “fix” this milk mustache, but I couldn’t do it. It’s perfect! It’s life! He’s so handsome!

While I was taking these shots, Evan was reluctant to stand up front by himself. I explained that I was going to take a picture of him with the rest of the family blurry in the background, with the hopes that talking him through “my vision” would make everything more easy and fun.

It turned out to be pretty stressful for him, and he said he didn’t “want to be blurry”! So sweet…

raber044-8x12-blog

So then he and Brice used their Super Brother powers on me to make sure I didn’t make Evan blurry… or maybe Brice was doing his show tune routine. I’m not sure… :)

raber045-8x12-blog

Taking time for some fun Gary and Elaine lovey, schmoopie pictures, but you have to pay attention to what’s going on behind them (I LOVE this!)

First you see the scheming…

raber060-8x12-blog

Then the charge…

Thanks for waking up so early to hang out with me! Love you guys!!!

Coming Soon…

Due to holidays and a ton of unexpected-ness going on, I haven’t posted any new pictures in a while, and I know some WONDERFUL people are really excited to see their photos!

Elaine, Gary, Grant, Brice and Evan’s photos will be up soon, followed by four more beautiful Ohio families!!

I’m excited!! I can’t wait to show you all of the amazing family awesomeness we have going on here!

(Seriously- they’re all still gorgeous!)

Thanks for all of the nice emails, and for being so patient!

Love, Danielle

Bill, Merissa, Tommy, Robbie, Pearl & Duque

Merissa is my niece Luci’s ballet teacher. She has the sweetest family, and is so easy going! We had a great time running around downtown… in her puffy cloud ballet skirt! It rocked!!

rojas009-8x12-blog

Pearl.

Could you just squeeze her! I LOVE her name!!

rojas015-8x12-bw-blog

My favorite family pictures are the unexpected ones where everyone is sort of doing their own thing, and not everyone is looking. You really start to get a sense of their personality’s that way.

June 29, 2009 - 4:12 pm Merissa Rojas - OMG!!! These are beautiful!!! Thank you so much Danielle!!! You are an awesome photographer!!! I love love love them!!! Especially the one of me tying Pearl's dress...so sweet. That will be my new profile pic!!!

June 29, 2009 - 4:10 pm Nicole - Danie. Oh my. Just wow. wow. wow. wow.

Melissa, Tate, Zak & Hannah

Going through this family’s pictures made me smile all over again! There were so many fun pictures to choose from, and, they were the first competitors in the Thumb Wrestling Championship. Zak took the title, but I feared the photos of his “Victory Dance” might make him hate me! That is, unless fluttering around like Tinkerbell is the rage on the teenage boy circuit… I guess I just never know these things… (sorry Zak!)

Sarah

I met Sarah very quickly when I was in Ohio, but man, I’d love to talk with her all day.

She’s expecting. She’s gorgeous. She is so incredibly nice! I cannot wait to meet that little baby in the fall!

June 18, 2009 - 8:43 am Nicole - She really is all of those things...the pictures are great Danie...what a great thing to have forever!

Max, Deb, Jordan, Hailey & Solomon

Besides being stunning, this family is so loving and happy and fun!

Hailey was rockin’ an arm splint after crushing her elbow the weekend before, and, I just have to say that Deb came up with the best idea to end our shoot with. There are no pictures here (I have to save something to send them), but I have three words: whip. cream. fight.

With a side of strawberries.

Oh yeah!

June 23, 2009 - 1:10 pm Deborah - Danielle, we had such a memorable time with you at the park, having the pictures to go with the memory makes it just amazing. God has truely gifted you with a talent to take photos and help people be themselves infront of a camera. I am a fan!!

June 19, 2009 - 1:29 pm lemonologie - I love your work. You have done a great job in capturing this family as real, live people who play & love!

June 18, 2009 - 9:14 pm Sarah - You definitely captured all the wonderful personalities of the Lambdins!
