Dani Lefrancois, a full-time photo guide and landscape photographer, grew up in Southern Ontario's Niagara Region, exploring the outdoors with a map in one hand and a camera in the other. Her passion for photography truly ignited on a road trip to Cape Breton Island, and further evolved after exploring Banff, Jasper, Yukon, and Alaska. In 2011, Dani relocated to Banff, Alberta, where the rugged landscapes became both her home and her canvas.

With her adventure dog, Tuzo, by her side, Dani is always out capturing the beauty of nature—whether at sunrise, sunset, or under the night sky. Though she admits to missing countless photo contest deadlines, Dani focuses on the joy of the journey, capturing spontaneous moments and guiding others through the stunning landscapes of Banff National Park and beyond.

A dedicated advocate for nature preservation, Dani emphasizes the importance of hands-on photography, preferring natural light and minimal digital editing. Her love for adventure, combined with her technical skills, storytelling, and passion for the outdoors, makes her a beloved figure in the landscape photography community.

I hope you enjoy the show!
