Meet Kim & Brandon. A gorgeous couple with two sweet little dogs. My friend Anne is styling Kim's NY wedding. It is going to be stunning! I met Kim at Anne's birthday dinner and after seeing a photo of my dog, Kim asked if I would take her holiday card photos. I was incredibly honored (and a little nervous) since I have never done this before. I told her that I would love to give it a try.

In typical Danielle fashion, I threw myself in head first. Not only did I shoot Kim & Brandon, but I booked a family photo shoot right after this one. These are some of my favorites from today's photo shoot. I will share the photos from shoot #2 in another post.
