“Danijela delivered on her promise to make me feel empowered, sexy, and confident. Her pampering through the sessions allowed me to be comfortable in my own skin and the star of my own show. Danijela’s photographs truly captured the essence of my confidence and vulnerability. It was an uplifting experience that I recommend to every woman.”

“I cannot say enough about Pets and People Portrait Studios. Everything from the studio venue which is amazing to the absolute care I received from both Dani and Yagil. Dani is so wonderful during your pre-session wardrobe selection, helping you pick out just the right attire to suit your personality and perhaps even going out of your comfort zone. She spends the time to get just the right emotion from you revealing your true self and personality. But more than that she is able to capture your true emotion and even able to unveil parts of you that maybe you did not even know were there. She is so patient and kind and works very hard to make sure every shot is perfect for you. I highly recommend Pets & People Studios for a special one-of-a-kind experience.“

“Working with Dani was one of the most delightful experiences I can recall. It began with a phone call not long after I responded to something I saw on social media. I knew right away that Dani’s project was special and I wanted to be a part of it. 40 women over the age of 40, telling their story through photographs with Dani on the other side of the camera is empowering, enlightening, inspiring and motivating.
Meeting Dani to pick out the wardrobe and get to know one another a bit before the actual shoot was delightful. Dani is warm and inviting and I felt comfortable and welcomed into her home just like we had been old friends. On the day of the photo shoot, I felt like Cinderella! From the lovely woman that did my make-up perfectly, to the array of tasty treats Dani had prepared and my bottomless cup of coffee… she thought of everything to make me my best. part 1

“I do love to smile, so it was even easier with Dani giving me some encouragement and tips on how to look and feel like my most perfect self. Hours flew by and I enjoyed every moment. We met again to view the photos and narrow them down to the ones I loved and wanted to give to my husband and girls, plus the one for the final project. It was very difficult to choose because Dani truly captured my true essence and I was blown away at how many of the shots I truly loved. I love photos of myself. That is rarely the case, but these were exquisite. What a gift!
I will always cherish the time I got to spend getting to know Dani. I sincerely consider her a friend and can not wait to hopefully meet the other woman that walked the beautiful path that Dani so lovingly created. “

“My experience with 40 over 40 was amazing! As I am at 49 and holding for a few more months from the big 5-0, I wanted to commemorate, embrace & celebrate my age. Dani truly did a wonderful job helping with that! She put a lot of time & dedication into working with me with a consultation on clothing and background options. It was truly wonderful to have my hair & makeup done for the shoot too; knowing someone was taking care of that, took off a lot of pressure the day of. Women of all ages, shapes & sizes want to feel like a superstar/model sometimes & Dani made that happen. We are our own worst critics but with so many truly amazing photos to choose from, it was so easy to see my own beauty. As someone who normally dislikes photos, I was mesmerized by them & had trouble deciding on my favorites. Ladies – Take the picture (not behind the camera), flaunt your insecurities, flaunt your individual beauty & show the world how wonderful you are.“

Does Any of The Below Sound Familiar?
Throughout the years I have heard – and sometimes felt – the below insecurities women face. Insecurities – turned to excuses – that create a barrier for so many women to even think of existing in portraits for themselves or those who love them. If any of the below is your personal barrier, I’m happy to share that we will overcome them all!
- “I NEED TO LOSE 20 POUNDS” – There are so many outfits and poses for curvier women that will make them look feminine, sexy, and beautiful. A woman is not measured in pounds, rather in her expression and confidence shining in her portrait
- “I’M NOT PHOTOGENIC” – Honestly, there is no such thing as being photogenic. It is a photographer’s job to capture the essence of who you are and make your personality shine. You are in good hands.
- “WHO NEEDS PICTURES OF ME? I DON’T” – Women LOVE hiding behind the camera. Thousands of photographs of their families, pets, and friends. But, they seem not to be able to justify that they deserve to live in photographs, too. For their loved ones and most importantly for themselves.
- “THIS IS ONLY FOR WOMEN WHO LOOK LIKE THEY BELONG IN A MAGAZINE” – Oh, do we have a surprise waiting for you! After you are done with makeup and hairstyling on your session and come in front of the camera wrapped in crispy cotton and silky satin, YOU will feel like you are part of a magazine-style photoshoot. And it feels fabulous!
