Douglas State Forest: White Pine Trail- 6 miles Pictured above: hiking essentials. Two hour hike did good for my soul and my body. Fresh air filled my lungs and my legs are still burning from climbing up so many hills. Both the beard and the pup and I needed a good day to spend to ourselves. We belong in the woods.

Mountain Life in Vermont. One day that’s where you’ll find my family and I; deep in the mountains.

"One Day At A Time"

A motto that anxiety ridden folks like myself, and others should live by.

It rings true.

Jericho, August, 2014- Senior Portrait This kid knew how to pose so minimally, yet so perfectly. I gave him almost no direction! Handsome, so very kind, and grateful.

"Bruno" October, 2014 (mixed breed) This is Bruno. He runs and leaps so insanely fast I had to take moment while photographing him because my hands were shaking so hard from laughing. I can't explain the joy it gives me to capture such happy creatures.

Meet Enzo, a gentile, big baby, pit-bull mix. Shot in September, 2014 NikonD3000, 50mm 1.8 lens Lately I’ve been working hard to expand my portfolio with different subjects. I myself am a huge dog lover, so naturally taking photos of our fury friends is something I adore. Often times people think of their pets as part of their family, and some people prefer animals over children, and are more than willing to pay for beautiful portraits. So far I’ve had 4 different sessions with dogs, and I had the most amazing time running around with them, tossing tennis balls and shooting them as they do all of the things they love. And that love shines through their face making it so very easy to snap a wonderful portrait. It feels good to change up my routine, and even better to get to meet and spend time with other dog/animal lovers! Contact me if you’d like to make some photographic memories that include your beloved furry friends! EMAIL- [email protected] or add me on Facebook (Danielle Kiritsis)

Well hello there! I'd like to introduce myself and give a few insights as to why I made this little space. My name is Danielle Ann Kiritsis, a 27 yr. old photographer based in New England, and currently residing in southern MA. I'm obsessed with natural light, good coffee, kind folks and living simply with a full heart. When I was younger my father owned multiple film cameras, and together we'd adventure to the woods, and he'd let me get behind the lens throwing in tips here and there. I realized very young that I had a deep passion for photography and capturing memories the way I see them. One of the things he always told me was that "anyone can take a decent photo, but very few people have an eye for seeing things in a different light. And that's what makes a great photographer." I've carried his words in my heart ever since. I've been working, learning, and improving my skills for the last 7+ years. For a good amount of that time I only photographed for fun. Things like family, hiking photos, tiny things around my home, etc. the more I shared my work, the more praise and compliments I would receive. This gave me confidence which is a HUGE part of being a great photographer. So over the years I taught myself as much as I could through reading informative books, tagging along with friends who work as photographers, learning to shoot in manual and eventually saved up to buy a NIKON. Over more time, I invested in different lenses which really improved my perspective and my work. These days I'm pretty content with my ability to capture a great photo, but do need more training and knowledge when it comes to photoshop and (preferably) Lightroom. All in good time. Anyhow, this is where I'll be sharing my own personal work. All images are mine unless stated otherwise. I shoot with a nikond3000 and multiple lenses. I specialize in outdoor photography, lifestyle sessions, animal portraits and photographing the beautiful aspects of nature. But I am open to anything you can throw my way. I hope you all enjoy my work and have the opportunity to watch myself grow in the world of amazing photography. Thanks for all the support from the tumblr community, and even more so to the wonderful people who have reached out to me specifically to capture their memories full of love.
