DANI MACK
's photo career began as a hobby but rapidly blossomed into a successful career. Starting out as a "soccer mom with a camera" she was noticed by her daughter's coach for the quality images she was creating. That connection provided her with the opportunity to photograph other teams, leading to Dani photographing over 150 teams in a little over a year, including the 2023 Little League Softball World Series champions and Staten Island Ferry Hawks.

To further improve her skills, Dani learned from some of the best in the industry, including Brad Deel, Jaison Sterling, JC Carey, Jean Fruth, and former Sports Illustrated editor Steve Fine. Her remarkable work has been featured in the NY Post, and she's collaborated with brands like Kilogear and the American Flag Football League. Dani has established herself as a prominent figure in the sports photography field, extending her portfolio to include sports portraits, and boutique volume photography.

Dani believes in giving back and sharing her experience with others who share her passion for photography. Dani holds workshops to assist aspiring photographers in honing their skills and developing their portfolios.

Dani's story is a genuine inspiration, demonstrating that with hard work, dedication, and a love for what we do, anything is achievable. Today, she continues to capture unforgettable moments on the field and encourages others to pursue their dreams.
