more about danielle
It was love at first sight followed by lots of second shooting for weddings and family photo shoots! Kaleo is Danielle's husband, main second shooter, main associate photographer and business partner. Kaleo plays a lot of roles but his main two roles are to take beautiful images and be the computer nerd or "IT" guy whenever Danielle runs into computer issues.
When playing the role of second shooter Kaleo is there to take your photo when you are not looking and make you smile and laugh at the perfect moment while Danielle is taking it! He usually has a zoom lens on his camera to capture spontaneous moments and get that pretty boca blur in the background. He is also a talented jokester and has a thing for getting even the frowny face none smilers laughing.
Kaleo has been working so closely with Danielle that he has learned all her tips and tricks and easily falls into the role of main shooter when needed.
