Hi, I’m Danielle—though most people call me Danni! I’m a cinematographer with over 7 years of experience bringing stories to life through the lens. Born and raised in Chicago, I made the move to Los Angeles in 2023 to further grow in my craft and expand my creative opportunities.

My work spans across events, behind-the-scenes content, music videos, drone cinematography, creative direction, and more. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some incredible artists and actors, including Vivica A. Fox, G Herbo, Tracee Ellis Ross, and more.

What drives me is simple: capturing the true essence of my clients and translating their vision into powerful, lasting visuals. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Production Broadcasting from Western Illinois University in 2020, and I’m currently pursuing my Master of Science in Journalism at the University of Southern California (USC).

For me, cinematography isn’t just about visuals—it’s about storytelling, connection, and creating moments that feel unforgettable.
