Hi, I'm Jess Daninhirsch!


I am a student photojournalist at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. My dream is to be a traveling photojournalist and a documentary filmmaker. I am based in Pittsburgh, PA and the DC/Maryland area. My camera is an extension of my hand and my eye, so I never leave home without it. I've been doing photography since 2015 (when I was in sixth grade!) , and I have had this photography service, Daninhirsch Photography, since 2018. Now, as a college sophomore, I am more skilled than ever, and I am excited to take photos for you!
