Danielle Barden is the owner of barden photography.
Her love for photography developed out of adolescent curiosity and the desire to stop time in its tracks, if only for a moment. Beginning with high school photo assignments for the Athens Wildcat’s yearbook, Danielle has followed that curious nature through college, first in Philadelphia, then Mansifeld, PA. She graduated from Mansfield University in December 2003.
While college kept Danielle grounded, her pictures helped her soar. She has gained recognition through a number of award winning photos displayed around the state, including her 2004 Best of Show at the Tioga County Fair. This honor was to be followed by a First Place win at the Area Agency on Aging Competition in State College, PA (fall 2005), where she competed against amateur photographers from across the state.
Danielle is blessed with wonderful friends and family that encourage her talents and spread the word about her artistic sensibilities. She photographed her first wedding in December of 2003, and since that time has worked with dozens of aspiring brides to create dynamic wedding albums.
While pursuing her passion for photography, Danielle also works full-time as an Office Manager at a rehabilitation facility in Mansfield, PA. She and her husband, Jared, are very active in their church where together they lead PowerKidz on Wednesday nights, serve as members of the worship team, and offer guidance in spiritual leadership in cooperation with the Deacon Board. Danielle and her husband, Jared, reside in Mansfield, where she continually thanks God for loaning her His own creative abilities.
