Danielle West Photography
Katy's Local
Family Photographer
Hi! I'm Danielle. Thanks for stopping by.
From wide-open sunsets at Mary Jo Peckham Park to cozy neighborhood shoots around Cinco Ranch, I’ll help your family shine in every frame.
My approach is laid-back but intentional. I give you enough direction so you look amazing, but the real magic comes when you forget the camera’s there and just connect. Think bear hugs, piggy-back rides, tickle fights — the little moments you’ll actually want to remember.
Why Choose Me?
Sure, you could find a family photographer to meet you in a local park for 20 minutes and call it a day.
But some families want more than that. They want a personalized session with expert advice every step of the way. A photographer who wants to learn about their family and design the perfect session.
Interested? Contact me to learn more and chat about your family's perfect photo session.
My Style
I call it candid-ish: the perfect mix of relaxed prompts and real moments.
I’ll guide you into great light, spark genuine laughter, and then let your family just be yourselves.
The result? Natural, authentic Katy family photography you’ll actually love hanging on your walls.
Love notes from lovely clients
"Working with Danielle was an amazing experience—we can’t recommend her enough!"
What impressed us most was how naturally she connected with our toddler. Anyone with little ones knows how unpredictable they can be, but Danielle kept things light, fun, and never forced. Instead of stiff, posed photos, she encouraged laughter, play, and genuine connection. If you want a patient, creative, and talented photographer who makes the whole process enjoyable, Danielle is the one to call.

Session Packages
Things are a little different around here.
Read more to find out about my no time limit philosophy.
No time limits. No pressure photography.
I don’t believe in rushing family moments. That’s why my Katy family photography sessions come with no strict time limit.
We’ll take the time we need — whether that means warming up shy kids, waiting out a snack break, or chasing the perfect golden light.
The result? Relaxed, genuine photos without the clock ticking in the background.
What's the catch?
There isn’t one. I don’t believe in minimum spends or forcing you into giant bundles you don’t want. Here’s how it works:
-
$200 session fee reserves your date — and it’s applied toward anything you purchase.
-
You only buy the photos and products you truly love.
-
Prints + digital packages start at $500.
-
And if you don’t love your photos? That $200 session fee is fully refunded, no questions asked.
Simple. Honest. No tricks — just photos worth keeping.
