Short Bio
I grew up in Layton, Utah and have lived here all of my life. I love shooting weddings and getting to be involved in such an important part of peoples lives. Over the years I have met some of the greatest families and couples.
I am a lover of life. I am grateful to be alive. I love all types of music and music is a huge part of my life. I am a lover of mexican food and love spicy foods.
Many of my past clients have become very close friends. As we work together, I hope we can become good friends too. If you need anything, let me know, it is my pleasure to help. If you have questions, ask, I love answering questions.
I met my wife Tiffany in high school. It was October 3rd, 1998. We were both going to homecoming dances at different schools with different dates. She was at a mutual friends house getting ready for her date and another mutual friend was in town and wanted me to come visit. When I arrived at the house, my friends told me there was a girl inside getting ready and I needed to go and tell her that she looked just like Celine Dion. So I played along, I walked up the stairs to the bathroom where she was curling her hair. As I turned the corner, there stood the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. To this day she still takes my breath away. I said "Wow, you look just like Celine Dion" and the rest is history. We had our first date a week later in Park City. I enjoy spending my life with her by my side and would be nothing without her. I want to thank her for her support and her friendship.

Short Bio
A bit about me…My name is Samantha (Sam) and my middle name isn’t really Jane. Although I grandmother has called me Samantha Jane for as long as I can remember, I think it was out of spite to my father for not giving me a middle name.
I have an addiction to my iPhone. I love to ski. I tend to be a bit of a dork, although I try to act like I’m not. I am a bit accident prone, some call it endearing, others amusing, but it’s just me.
Photography for me is love, passion and obsession all wrapped up into one. I think of my clients as friends, and treat them as so. I love capturing the little moments, the ones that generally go un-noticed. My style can be described as lifestyle, with a bit of sass and glamour.

Short Bio
I wish I could think of something exciting and interesting to say, but the truth is, I'm just your average gal who's in l-o-v-e with photography!! I have been involved with photography and the arts for many years but it was the adoption of our first child that really kick-started my passion and gave me the motivation to finally turn nthis talent into a business. My favorite part of my job? I love to help others see the love and joy in their own families and children. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a Mom's face light up (or sometimes cry!) when she holds the images of her family in her hands for the first time. Its what keeps me fulfilled, striving to learn and
develop my craft and my business as a whole. Its also a constant reminder of how precious these little moments are to a family and how easily they can slip away, going completely un-noticed.
Heading into my second year of business, I am more excited than ever before! There are so many exciting things on the horizon that I cannot wait to share with the beautiful, amazing clients of Danielle Lynn Photography!!

Short Bio
Photography has been a beautiful journey for me. When I started booking weddings, it was because I needed something to support this expensive habit of buying cameras and lenses. But the more I did it, the more I enjoyed being there in the moment, seeing things in a way that no one else would. No wedding is the same, and each is an opportunity to push myself artistically. Also, I try to keep commercialization from creeping into my work. I believe that real art involves people and relationships, as well as a lot of time, heart, and hard work. It's a process of giving freely and receiving with open hands. It's always my hope that my images reflect those values.

Short Bio: When I was younger my parents were missionaries. We often lived in one room and had about 1 suitcase to our name. We never bought much from the countries we lived in because of space, instead we took pictures and scrapbooked. Memories will be out souvenirs is what we lived by. That is how my love of photography began. I saw the world through a lens and fell
in love with the world and capturing the beauty of it.
Even now, when I'm shooting weddings I live by that love. The love to capture something unique and to show others how it was not only beautiful but full of emotion. To me, photography is more than a job or a passion, its a necessity. To capture memories that we look back on forever. It's our heritage and legacy we leave.

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer:
I am a wife to an incredible husband who inspires me to be a better person every day. I am a cook, I love food and I love to document the process of creating it. I am a traveler, a scuba diver, a rock climber and a world citizen. I capture my adventures as I go. To those around me I am sister, daughter, auntie and friend. It is the relationships in my life that have taught me where to find love, laughter and life in my images. I am an animal lover and nature advocate. It is this connection to creatures of all sizes that has brought them in front of my camera.
I am a photographer and I want to take your picture.

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer
I have been in love with photography since the first time I shot a roll of tri-x 400 and developed it (then I became an ilford girl) in the darkroom. The process of creating was something I was born to do. I loved going out with friends and taking beautiful, fun, funky photos of them. As a wedding photographer I have gotten to experience all of my favorite things: Photography, people, and love, all in one place! I find myself constantly wanting to capture people and their unique personalities which is why I think I could never get tired of the excitement that comes with starting a new life and weddings. I have my degree in Photography and Media from CalARTS which was such an amazing experience and has really helped me see the fine art aspect in shooting portraits and real life. all-in-all I feel so blessed to constantly be meeting new people and getting to collaborate with them to create awesome photos and capture their unique moments

Short Bio - Word from the Photographer:
I am a big dork. I like to make faces and weird noises at random times. I am pretty up front and open and those who know me can pretty much tell you that if you ask me something, I will tell you the truth. I have no shame and tend to blog personal things that many may not have even thought of knowing...but this is who I am. I can be random, I like..no LOVE ice cream and will take it any day of the week in any weather. I love photographing people because it allows me to see inside their lives for a little bit and really makes me appreciate the love and spirit for life even more. I consider myself really lucky and really blessed.
