I love Danielle Kurant.

Now that that is out there, I can go about my usual blogging :)  I’m super excited that Danielle is coming out with a second CD!  Her first CD, Beginnings, is fabulous.  I also cannot believe that she trusted me enough to do her album portraits and layout.  I have included some samples below…I get nostalgic seeing pictures I took with my first DSLR, a Rebel XT.  We had so much fun on Clearwater Beach for that shoot!

Anyway, these pictures are from the recording of her second album, which is highly anticipated by yours truly (I cannot emphasize this enough!).  Sometimes, I blame the fact that I like to do everything interesting on my friends.  Danielle is one such lovely soul.  She is in medical school and still highly active with writing and performing music (shout out to Trey Penton, another close med student/photographer/artist/musician/filmmaker friend!).  All of my friends inspire me SO MUCH!

Also noteworthy in these pictures are Jed Mootsey on the guitars and Brody Murakami, the sound mixing magician!  Danielle has such a way of drawing awesome people into a little movements of awesomeness and beauty :)

BTW, that gold mic is like super duper expensive because it has GOLD on it. what!

Music lights up Danielle like nothing else :)

Check out the video of her in studio, even her “warm ups” are amazing :)
