Hello, I'm Danielle. Let's take one more loop.

After 11 years as a wedding photographer, I'm in a slower season of hiking with the doggos, raw food prep, and writing. Here you can read my newsletter, meet the pack, or find out about weddings and mentoring.

Dogs, mountains, and big feelings

This is where I write about my dogs, what goes in their bowls, the big feelings that come with being a sensitive human, and the little things worth being grateful for.

“Wanna do one more loop?” is our favorite sentence. My husband and I say it at the dog park, at home, and on every trail, usually right when we could head back and just don't want to. Time outside with each other and the boys is my favorite place to be, and I'm never quite ready for it to end. My best ideas show up out there too, so it became the name of my letters, and this little corner of the internet is where I keep it all.

Fresh from the trail

One More Loop

What happens when a helicopter dog mom sheds 11 years of entrepreneurship and learns to be uncomfortable. Letters about change, grief, hope, and the dogs who walk every loop with me.

A little backstory

I spent 11 years as a wedding photographer, and then as a mentor to other wedding photographers. I built Indy Pop from the ground up, spent more Saturdays at receptions than I can count, and met some of the kindest, most big-hearted people along the way. Lately I'm slowing way down and letting go of old versions of myself, one loop at a time. I've scaled way back on weddings and I'm much more intentional about them now, with room for no more than three to five a year. Mentoring stays open for the right fit too. I also have a gloriously boring work-from-home job that keeps the lights on while I figure out this transition, and the rest of my days belong to hiking with the doggos, raw food prep, and writing.

My whole heart, out for one more loop.

Ways to say hi

A peek at mountain life, the boys, and the trails we wander. I'm being more intentional with social media now, so I can be fully here for the walks, the dinners, and the dogs before anything gets shared.
