Baby Couture Cover Shot
New York, NY Friday, August 22, 2008 - Manhattan Beach California photographer, Dani Brubaker, photographs Josie Bissett for Baby Couture magazine’s “Back to School” issue.

The current issue (August/September 08) of the magazine features a cover story about actress, author and mother, Josie Bissett and her children photographed by Dani Brubaker. The images are distinctly Dani – portraying the happy loving family having a great time with each other. Energetic, beautiful, amusing and fun photographs, along with classic black and white portraits illustrate the strength of the family bond.

“Collaborating with Josie was a blast, we had a terrific time creating these images together”, says Dani. Ms. Bissett states, “I absolutely loved shooting with Dani. She has an amazing way of allowing the shoot to take a life of its own by allowing fun and spontaneity. I’ve never had a photographer capture the essence of me and my children the way Dani has.”

About Dani: First a painter, now a fashion photographer Dani Brubaker was born 1968 in Oklahoma. Part Choctaw Indian, she grew up by the code of the Native American Indian which reveres children, yet allows them freedom of self-expression - which is reflected in Dani’s art.

Brubaker’s stylish signature photography appears in magazines such as Vogue Bambini, Lucky, CosmoGirl and Teen Vogue and her client list includes Billabong, Billie Girls, Perry Ellis, Mattel, Phat Farm, Cricket Kids, Beetlejuice London, Gossip Girl, Hula Star, Soulmates, Tuliano, Ike Behar and The English Roses by Madonna. Dani has photographed for Earnshaws, Flair, Hudson’s, KidsLA, Parents, Baby Couture and Small Magazine.

Elegant composition and lighting, happy, energetic boys, girls and tweens – and stunning, sexy adults showcasing fresh, trend setting new fashion, is what Dani excels at, her keen attention to style and detail reassert the ambitions of growth manufacturers desire and eye-catching imagery that buyers love. Dani closely collaborates with her clients, delivering imaginative, engaging imagery that directly contributes to the growth of the brand.

Regarding her photography, Dani states, “For me it’s all about the eyes, the connection I have with my subjects. My camera embodies a powerful medium of expression and communication; nothing is more moving than capturing raw human emotion …whether it’s a twinkle in a child’s eye or the playful banter between children, or the wholesome, sexy glance of an adult. Capturing those moments for posterity is what my photographs are about.”

Dani Brubaker specializes in fashion and lifestyle photography creating images that are artful, compelling and surpass the everyday. Dani prides herself on delivering top quality images for her clients, handles all color correction and retouching herself. She takes great satisfaction in creating an atmosphere that allows great moments to happen. Dani Brubaker’s strong personal signature and style is creating a new visual vocabulary in kid’s fashion photography.
