Today, November 16th, is Danielle’s birthday! She usually writes all of the blog content but I decided to give it a try and devote a special blog just for her birthday. I apologize for any typos, misspellings, and grammar issues.
There are so many great things about her; it’s hard to describe them in words. I’ve added some photos that show her beauty as well as her commitment to family, friends, and photography.
This first photo shows how her eyes glow when the sun is setting. I get butterflies every time I see the way light reflects off of them:
Not only is she EXTREMELY beautiful, but she is also very tough. She is strong, a hard worker, and devoted to keeping fit and in shape. Here is a photo with one of her best friends, Ashley. Â They just got done running the Warrior Dash. Covered in mud, scratches, and sweat, they show what true determination looks like:
Her devotion and drive definitely were traits that she learned from her family and friends. She is the most reliable person I know. She is always there to comfort, listen, and put herself last before anyone else. If everyone would we have these strong characteristics like she does then the world would be a much better place.
Danielle is a great role model for her nephew and nieces. She makes them laugh and is always playing with them when they are around. If we are blessed with children someday I know she will be a terrific mom.
I take that back about not having any children. She already has a son who she truly adores. Norris has gotten Danielle through some tough times and is always there to sit on her lap (even when she is trying to work) and be a cuddle pug when she gets home. If anyone has ever met Norris they know how he can bring joy to the room. This is a direct reflection of the care and love given to him by his mom.
Danielle is greatly sincere and honest. She will tell anyone straight up how she is feeling and isn’t afraid to share her thoughts regardless if she knows them.
She is very fun, goofy, squirrelly, and has a great sense of humor. Her smile brightens up my day. All I have to do is think of her laughing or smiling and I can get through the toughest of days.
Danielle is very intelligent and an extremely hard worker. She strives for perfection in her work and doesn’t cut any corners. Without her, our business wouldn’t have gotten very far. She is a great dreamer and visualizer of the goals she wants to accomplish. Her ideas keep our business moving forward and allows our photos to continually be creative and timeless. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else in this business other than her. She is and will always be the best coworker, partner, boss, and business owner.
This first photo was an image I took at a wedding when people were greeting the bride and groom after the ceremony. I happened to glance over through my camera and saw her smiling at me. I took a quick shot and got back into the action.
Now that we are photographers we hardly get in to any photos. We try every once and a while to have our clients take a quick photo or set up the tripod and set the timer on the camera.
Norris usually gets confused as we try to hurry back and jump into the photo. Nonetheless, her great beauty always leaves a smile on my face.
Most importantly, Danielle has been a great influence in my life. She has guided me to a better relationship with God and Jesus. She makes me want to be a better person more and more everyday. She is a great inspiration to me and I am always encouraged by her. The love I feel for her overflows into the photos I take of others. Feeling that connection, affection, and passion for her allows me to portray my emotions into the art that I have been very blessed to create.
I hope everyone who gets the chance to read this will have the opportunity to hug her and wish her a happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Danielle! I love you with all of my heart!
