Hi, I’m Danae Deanne Daughhetee (duh-nay dee-anne door-tee), the photographer behind Danae Deanne Photography, based in Hutchinson, Kansas and serving clients wherever their story takes them. I’m a wife to my husband, David, and a mom to our sweet baby boy, Dutton - two of the biggest reasons I value preserving real, meaningful moments.


Photography is more than just images to me - it’s about creating a space where you feel comfortable, confident, and fully seen. I’m passionate about documenting genuine connection in a way that feels natural, timeless, and true to you. Hearing that someone felt beautiful or truly themselves in front of my camera is what drives everything I do.


This work is something I don’t take lightly. I’m constantly growing, refining my style, and approaching each session and wedding with intention and care. Now that you know a little about me, I can’t wait to learn more about you and the moments you want to remember! - Danae
