Photos That Feel Like You


Choosing a photographer is about more than finding someone with a camera. It’s about finding someone whose photography style, editing style, and personality feel like the right fit for you.


Before booking, take a look through my portfolio. If you love the way I capture and edit my images, we’re probably a great match!

Natural, Beautiful Moments


I’ll guide you when you need direction while leaving room for genuine moments to happen naturally. My goal is to capture the connection, emotion, and little moments that make your photos feel like you.

Relaxed & Comfortable


You don’t have to know how to pose! I’ll guide you throughout your session so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My goal is for you to have fun and enjoy the experience.


And yes, some of my prompts are silly! Laughter helps everyone relax and let their true selves shine.

The Right Fit Matters


Photography is personal, and finding the right photographer matters. If you love my work, editing style, and approach, I’d love to work with you!

About Me

Danielle Ihle, Kearney, NE

Hello! I’m Danielle! I'm a photographer based in Kearney, NE, a wife to a supportive and loving husband, and a mom of three boys - Liam, Lucas, and Declan. Liam and Lucas are growing and changing right before my eyes, and our sweet Declan is waiting for us in heaven.

Each of my boys has shaped who I am and is an important part of the person and photographer I've become. I know just how quickly the seasons of life change and how important it is to hold onto the little things—the silly smiles, tiny detail

About Me


Hello! I’m Danielle! I'm a photographer based in Kearney, NE, a wife to a supportive and loving husband, and a mom of three boys - Liam, Lucas, and Declan. Liam and Lucas are growing and changing right before my eyes, and our sweet Declan is waiting for us in heaven.


Each of my boys has shaped who I am and is an important part of the person and photographer I've become. I know just how quickly the seasons of life change and how important it is to hold onto the little things — the silly smiles, tiny details, big personalities, messy moments, and genuine connections that you may not realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.

Why I Love Photography


Photography is about so much more than taking a pretty picture. It’s about preserving a feeling, a connection, and a moment in time that you can come back to again and again.


My own family has taught me just how precious photographs can become. They can remind us of the people we love, the seasons we’ve lived through, and the moments we never want to forget.

When I'm Not Behind the Camera


When I’m not photographing families, seniors, or couples, you'll find me in a cannonball competition with Liam, playing ball with Lucas, cooking in the kitchen with my husband, Eric, or cheering on the Huskers!


I feel incredibly grateful that photography allows me to preserve those moments for my own family while also giving me the opportunity to do the same for yours.


Thank you for being here and considering me to capture a little piece of your story. I’d be honored to create something meaningful with you.

Today’s Moments are Tomorrow’s Memories


I specialize in outdoor photography. My approach is all about creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, allowing your authentic self to shine through. I believe that every image tells a story, and I’m dedicated to helping you preserve your cherished memories.


Whether you’re celebrating milestones with your family, marking an important transition in your life, needing to update family photos, or capturing your extended family, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create stunning photographs that you’ll treasure for years to come!
