The Wonder of Fall | Fall Mini Sessions | Cleveland Ohio | Northeast Ohio
This years fall colors really have been quite beautiful. Add on the warm weather with the gold, yellow and red leaves and it made for the perfect fall in September and October. These two months are also a favorite month of mine to hold my fall mini sessions. What are fall mini sessions compared to regular sessions? Throughout the year I always hold a regular and petite session for those who are in need of shots. Those sessions are typical 1 hour or 30 minutes for the petite. They can often be 1 hour before sunset and are less rushed more fun and creative with the family.
However, my mini sessions which are only offered a few times a year are 20 minute sessions and scheduled in blocks of time. So they are a bit more rushed and more quick photos (a little less time to be super creative). But they are perfect for those who only want a few updated photos of the family or have little kids who they know won't sit still for longer than 20 minutes. My minis always have a full gallery sent of 25 images and you have the option to choose your favorite 10 images.
For more information, please reach out! I would love to hear from you:)
Red Truck Mini Sessions | Fall Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County Ohio
Nothing says fall like brightly colored leaves, crisp air, apples and a bright red antique truck! My red truck minis this year were so much for the fall season and gave my clients a little something different this time. The red truck was decked out in pumpkins, pillows, mums and blankets, the perfect set for some quick fall photos. My special mini session are only held a few times throughout the year. They are usually a special themed event such as red truck, pumpkin farm, local park and Christmas tree farm. They are special since I usually bring more props and decor with the shoot along with a special theme. If you are interested in future mini sessions please reach out for my newsletter as most of my minis sell out each year through email alone.
Happy Fall~
Who doesn't love Disney | Newborn Photography | Mentor, Ohio | Cleveland, Ohio
Who doesn’t love Disney!? Isn’t that a silly question anyway! I always try to do something special for my Newborn families by adding in a special photo that takes some pixie dust and magic. When this mom told me she was a HUGE Disney fan, I knew I had to do something fun for her new little one. Check out the photos below featuring Winnie the Pooh and Harry Potter!
If you have something that you might think, oh there is no way she can incorporate that for us. Please ask me anyway! I am always willing to try new things and adding some magic to your photography gallery.

Maternity Session at Sunset | Horse Farm | Newborn Photography | Northeast Ohio
A few ingredients of my favorite things would include a horse farm, golden hour and photography. I was lucky enough to have all three at my most recent Maternity Shoot. This shoot took place in Concord Township, Ohio on a beautiful horse farm tucked away on many acres of land. I was so happy to get my horse fill while I was there and visit some of the beauties in the stalls.
The main benefit of on location Maternity Photography Sessions, they can take place exactly where you always dreamt your picture would be. Over the years I’ve done many parks, private homes, urban places, beach and now the horse farm.

Always worth the wait | Newborn Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County, Ohio
“Always worth the wait” is saying it in simple terms once your bundle of joy has finally arrived. Those 9 months of worry, waiting and anticipation quickly fades away once your sweet little one is place in your warm arms. Newborn photography has quickly become a favorite of mine over the years because of 4 children of my own I understand how quickly those younger (and exhausting) years take place. Honestly, a newborn only seems so itty bitty those first few weeks of life and before you know it they are a month old. A lot more alert, moving and possibly keeping you up at night;)
In regards to newborn photography I do offer a full signature session and my petite newborn session. My most popular package is by far the signature full session. This session is 2 hrs and takes place in my home studio. Due to Covid I have taken extreme caution and sanitation measures in order to keep everyone safe. With the full session, I recommend the photos take place within the first 2 weeks of life. At that age its easier for me to sooth and calm the back to sleep which is needed for some newborn posing.
If you are interested in scheduling a newborn session, please reach out for more detailed information.

Mini Newborn Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Newborn Photography
Newborn Photography often times can be a 2-3 hour session in order to capture the right poses and encourage the baby to sleep. Often times I have had families interested in a short and sweet session and not the full length process. I get it and understand it can be a long process and not for everyone. That is why I’ve added the mini newborn session that is a short and sweet session. Perfect for those that want a nice collection of photos but don’t plan to have their own photos taken.
The mini newborn session is a 1 hour session that is done whether the baby is awake or asleep. I really think beautiful photos happen whether the baby is awake or not. You still have full access to all of my high end accessories and props, your choice of items. The session does not include siblings or parents. In the end you get the choice of 12 print release photos with the option to purchase more.

Signature Photo Sessions | Now offering Digitals & Video | Newborn Photography | Northeast Ohio
When it comes to professional photography it can be an investment from start to finish. I completely understand the time, energy and finances it takes from the moment you start googling “photographers near me” to the actual shoot day. The process can be daunting, whether your expecting and want every moment of your newborns life captured or your a busy mom of 3 who desperately needs updated photos. Its all a process from choosing and researching the best photographer for your family to coordinating outfits. My goal is to help take the stress out of those moments.
When booking with Danelle Joy Photography the very first thing I like to do is a Pre-session consult. This can be done via phone or email and its my chance to understand your needs, style and goals for the photo shoot. After all, anyone can take some quick pics of your family, but you want more than that, you want treasured moments.
The Pre-session consult includes discussing the best type of package, location and expectations during the shoot. I am also always happy to include my professional opinion for clothing choices as well. I have put together many articles that focus on starting in your own closet first and adding little pieces of clothing into the mix. You don’t need to go broke just for the photo shoot. I usually recommend many of my clothing finds from Target, Tj Maxx and Old navy.
Since I understand it is a large investment, NEW this year and included with my Signature Family and Newborn sessions is a custom 8x8 photo book and Video. I believe after all, you should receive more than just digital images from your session. The photo book is hand selected and created by me, featuring the favorite photos. I am so excited to be offering a Video new this year. This will be a collection of behind the scenes and photos all put together like a slideshow. Oh cool is that.
My overall goal is to create a beautiful and lasting experience for you. If you are thinking of family photos for the spring and summer it is better to book more sooner than later. My 2020 calendar is starting to fill. Please contact me today for your next custom photo session.
