Lets capture your story

to be told time and time again, authentically you.

IMG_0248-2_edited.jpg

Inspired by the small moments of life

Most of our days are not made up of overly grandiose hours. Rather, they are made up of everyday seconds of subtle magic.

 

It is these moments — a steadying breath before the vows, hands finding each other in the quiet between events, a teary glance exchanged between generations — that often go unnoticed in the rush but ultimately make us feel the most alive

and inspire me to no end.

 

The challenge to capture *that* feeling no matter the day and bring you back to those moments is a chase that will never get old. 

Film is the most powerful storytelling medium.

Nothing can bring you back to the emotions surrounding a moment like film, Read more about why I think so here.

TEStimonials

"This past summer, Danielle and her camera captured our wedding in a windy mountain pass in Blue Lakes, Colorado. The dust has since settled from all our wedding festivities, and all that remain are the artifacts from this beautiful moment. Among these artifacts is one that Mallory and I cherish far greater than any still frame, than any dried flower petal, or any gift received. Danielle created a masterpiece that reflects her vision, her genuine personality, and truly impressive videography skills. Danielle created a film that will allow my wife and I to rewind time to that windy mountain pass to our favorite moment that we had the privilege of sharing with her. Danielle, thank you for how well

you served my wife and I. "

"Danielle is one of the most authentic people you may ever meet, and this carries over into the way she captures everything behind the camera. Danielle created a space where we felt comfortable and able to completely be ourselves. This not only made the process so easy, but also created images that truly show our personality and love for one another.

Testimonials

"From the very beginning, Danielle took the time to meet with us, get to know our story, and truly understand what was important to us. That extra effort made our final video feel incredibly personal and meaningful! She spent the whole day with us which allowed her to capture some amazing behind-the-scenes moments to include in our videos. In addition, we HIGHLY recommend adding on Danielle’s package for adding the After The Tone audio guestbook messages into the film. Hearing our loved ones’ voices woven into the video made the entire experience even more special and emotional. Our wedding video is something we’ll treasure forever thanks to Danielle!"

My why

IMG_5797-3.jpg

I have always found my space for thought & most importantly reflection, whether it was with my feet dangling off the high, thick branches of an old magnolia by our swing set growing up, or biking to an abandoned dock on the bay where I listened to the sound of waves slapping the rocks. In many ways, I have found a similar space in the time I spend creating.

I would argue that reflection is one of the most life-enhancing practices we can do for ourselves.

IMG_9855.jpg

With reflection comes a deeper appreciation for the life around us & a stronger sense of what it is that really fills us to the brim. It absolutely sends our hearts soaring for those we love & if you're anything like me, leaves us feeling more in touch with the roots that ground us to who we are.

This love for reflection & need to grasp those magical moments that seem to slip through our fingers as quickly as they were placed in our hands inspired my passion for photography and film. Life is meant for living & it is my desire to capture the times that make us feel the most alive, if for nothing else, to turn back to when we forget our why.

The years go by fast, & only seem to pick up speed. I have been filming some of my fondest memories with friends and my greatest travels since the summer of 10th grade. To sit & be brought back in time to a particular moment, with relationships that still mean the world to me today, and be flooded with those same old feelings through videos I made 2 years ago, let alone 9 years ago, pulls my heartstrings in ways no other medium could.

 

Not long ago, I had our home videos digitized. The first video I watched sent me to tears as I heard my great-grandmother's voice for the first time in 13 years. It made me feel as though she was in the room with me again, teaching me how to take care of my babydoll & carry my 'pocketbook'.

I am passionate about the power of film to bring us back. To reflect, over and over again. I want to encapsulate your feelings, emotions, & love. I want you to be able to watch and be reminded of the beautiful living work that is your life, forever, & be able to share your story with generations to come.
