Ok ok, so you’ve heard Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” a few too many times and if you’re like me, and you once worked in retail, music during this time of year can actually cause you to break out into hives. Not to mention the stress of it all…awkward work parties, travel woes, […]

Earlier this year I embarked on a rebranding project with my pal and co-worker Jake Rossilli. Jake is a filmmaker and designer and as anyone who knows him would say, one rad human. Since last Jan, we met at coffee shops, our homes, and pubs at all hours we could find outside of our work […]
Oh hi! I’m breaking from my regularly scheduled programming to share something I’m personally really proud of. Tada! Without further ado, here’s my new Danielle Motif brand identity!! I’ve been working on this little universe of photos & good vibes for the past year with my friend and badass designer Jake Rossilli (if you want […]
Kim & Barry married under a full moon on a crisp November night in Northern California and it was absolutely everything. The event was held at Reinstein Ranch in Livermore just outside of San Francisco. If you know the Bay Area, you know that this is an area with stunning rolling hills that appear to […]
It’s that time!! Hello December! This is one of the biggest questions I get asked by friends and clients: Where should I print my cards!!?? Followed by, what’s a photo gift that’s not cheesy? No one really needs your face on a paperweight, right? Not to worry, I have some options (and a few deals) to […]
Family photos in the wintertime in Seattle can definitely come with some challenges. It’s chilly, often pretty rainy, and keeping a little one upbeat in those circumstances can be…interesting. Omg, not this one. Little Scarlett was a freaking blast to photograph. Last year and this year we managed to be mostly rain-free throughout the session […]
It’s hard to say when exactly I knew I’d be friends with Sondra. If I had to bet it was somewhere between us laughing over a moment in Bridget Jones’ Diary and us then taking it 10 steps further by actually reenacting an entire scene in person, WITH accents (as you do). Let’s just say […]
I typically photograph a lot of little ones so my photo shoot with the Azadi family provided a fantastic opportunity to try a slightly more adventurous location. We lucked out with a stunning San Francisco November day and met at the Land’s End Visitor’s Center. From there we meandered down to Sutro Baths and checked […]
Okay y’all twin girls in adorable outfits and hats? I mean…get ready for this post. Ha! it was all I could do to keep myself from pinching cheeks and cooing. These two little ladies were WAY too cool for that though. Brooklyn and Lucy were such chill little ones just going about their day like […]
I have known Kathleen since our first day in college (shh, that’s like over 20 years for anyone counting) and it’s so nuts how fast time flies. Earlier this fall I got to travel back east to D.C. and photograph Kathleen, her husband Ousman and their tribe of cuties: Kayden, Zane, and Karina. The boys […]
