Hey there! it's me, daniela!
Growing up, I had two main passions: horses and cameras. I was raised in California and rode horses competitively. My Papa was really into photography, and when I showed an interest in taking pictures, he supported me with cameras and even gifted me online photography classes for Christmas. When I wasn’t at the barn or away at horse shows, I was capturing random moments in my day-to-day life—pressing a shutter just to see what would happen.
In 2015, I got a GoPro—and oh my gosh, that little camera had a serious hold on me! I brought it everywhere and filmed everything I could. I started making quick 15-second Instagram edits with upbeat music and fast cuts. I still love going back to watch them—they remind me where it all started. From there, my love for videography and photography really took off.
In 2017, I bought my first mirrorless Sony camera and became obsessed with learning everything I could—shooting, editing, Lightroom, Final Cut Pro, camera settings, you name it. I spent countless hours teaching myself through YouTube and hands-on trial and error. Over the years, it’s all become second nature.
After graduating from Montana State University in 2022 with a degree in Film and Photography, I officially launched my photography business. I genuinely love connecting with people and capturing moments they’ll remember forever. Seeing someone light up when they receive their photos is the most rewarding part of what I do.
Since then, I’ve had the honor of photographing artists like Sam Barber and Avery Anna, winning the Sitka Diverge 13 "Adventure" category, and working with a variety of clients—from couples to musicians to brands. Every session is a new chance to tell a story, and I can’t wait to hear yours. I’m excited to bring your vision to life and deliver images you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
