Blogging can be wildly beneficial to your business growth, when it’s done correctly.
There are so many reasons why my clients approach me – maybe you’ve already tried:
- Hiring a copywriter who wrote for you – but then you never actually did anything with the copy (and it’s still sitting in your drafts)
- Taking SEO or blogging courses – but you blogged once, and then never again because of the information overload + time commitment
- Hiring someone to blog for you – but that person didn’t write with Google, strategy, or your personal business goals in mind, so you didn’t see results
- Hiring a blog writer – but they wrote cookie-cutter blog posts & didn’t match your brand/voice well enough
This is why I make the processes as easy as possible for you by offering fully done-for-you packages, where I do everything from A to Z. I write, strategize, put it all into WordPress or Squarespace, and hit "publish."
White-glove blogging.
This service includes fully done-for-you blogging from start to finish, where you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want to be. It’s a 4-month contract with a strategy call at the beginning of each 4-month period to plan out the content, whether you have a list of 50+ ideas you want to give me, or you want me to do the heavy lifting + topic research for you.
Packages are able to be customized to fit your needs, but no matter which one you choose, you’ll always start with an in-depth onboarding questionnaire, so I have the information I need to write SEO-rich content that best supports your goals.
Signature, done-for-you service:
Working with Danielle is the best possibleway to uplevel your business.
“She has saved me COUNTLESS hours of stress, brought my work to the first page of Google, and inspired me to create more intentionally for my clients. If you have the means to outsource something in your business, THIS is it, THIS is the person you want to work with.”
Makenzy Smith
Wedding Photographer
She is the best contractor I've ever hired for any aspect of my business.
"Since she started blogging for me a year ago, I've been able to rest assured knowing that my blog is getting fresh content that drives SEO and establishes me as an authoritative voice in my industry. My clients compliment me all the time on how helpful and inspiring the blogs have been for them. I am so grateful for Danielle!
EMMA STUDLEY,
ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
I jumped so fast when I saw Danielle had an opening.
"I feel so relieved and ecstatic to have started working with her! It’s so nice to be able to tell her what needs to be blogged, give her an idea of what I want to say, and see her just spit out a beautiful and helpful piece. Unreal. I really cannot recommend hiring a blog writer more, and even more, Danielle specifically.”

here's how the process works!
Inquiry and booking a call
Fill out the inquiry form on my site, then you can book a strategy call with me.
A custom proposal and contract
Once we determine we’re a good fit for each other, I’ll send you a custom proposal, complete with your 4-month contract + 50% retainer of the first month’s payment.
Onboarding, research, & getting started
Fill out my detailed onboarding questionnaire so I can complete my research based on your goals and clients, and get all your login info.
Strategy call for next steps
I’ll send you a list of at least 25 blog topics that align with your goals, we’ll go over them on a strategy call to plan your content
Continuing on & building some more
Each month, I’ll send over that month’s blog calendar and a new questionnaire to gather the necessary info from you

Brag-worthy client results from white-glove blogging
- An Oregon-based client is ranking on page one for more than 15 of her favorite places to shoot
- A sex shop client ranks on page one above Cosmopolitan magazine for a product search
- A Mount Rainier photographer client ranks on page one for multiple Mount Rainier related search terms
- An Oahu based elopement photographer ranking on page one for multiple relevant search terms
And, maybe my personal fave:
A client recently let me know after a year of working together, 70% of her leads are now coming from Google and 30% from Instagram (and it used to be the other way around)!
that's the power of consistency and seo.

What do payments look like?
What's my responsibility as a client? How much work do I need to put in?
Payments are made monthly and are due within 3 days of receiving your invoice! If you’re like me and always forget to hit that “pay” button when the date rolls around, you can set it to autopay for even more of a hands-off experience.
That’s completely up to you — seriously! My process is truly designed for you to be as hands on or hands off as possible. All I need from you at the bare minimum is to fill out a monthly questionnaire.
Can you help me come up with topics?
How do you get familiar with my voice?
In addition to full-on stalking your entire social media feed, website, & reading through your past blog posts, you’ll fill out an in-depth onboarding questionnaire where I ask for details about your brand voice—from asking if you cuss, to wanting to know your favorite emojis, to finding out how many exclamation points you typically use at the end of your sentences. Especially after your first couple of blogs, I ask for specific, honest feedback to make sure I’m nailing your voice—if there’s even a damn comma out of place, or one too many exclamation points, I want to know!
Yes, absolutely! If you don’t have topics in mind, I will take your questionnaire and research to create a list of ideas every month.
How soon will I see the results?
What kinds of results have your clients seen?
All the wins listed above, as well as consistent increases in monthly organic traffic.
While I can't guarantee anything, typically, ranks start to show up within 60-90 days of a blog being published and build over time. Rankings depend on many things, including how much Google already trusts your website when you hire me, how much work you’ve already put into optimizing your site, and how many blog posts you already have & how optimized they are, as well as slight changes in the Google algorithm. You can trust that I always implement strategies I’ve learned from professional education (courses, mentorships, etc.) as well as my own experience blogging for a variety of clients over the past 2 years, and will always be honest with you if something isn’t working & my expert advice on how we fix it moving forward!
Do I get any revisions before you publish posts?
When are blogs published?
I publish posts right away to avoid the phase of getting stuck & never hitting publish while going back and forth about edits. You can let me know if any edits you want to be made within 1 week of publishing, and past that 1 week & 1 round of revision, any additional rounds of revisions are $75 each. You’re always free to make your own changes after a blog post is published as you see fit, too!
Each blog post will be published on Friday's, by 12pm PST.
How do we communicate?
How will I give you my passwords?
I communicate with my clients via email or Slack, whichever method you prefer. If you like sending voice memos for feedback instead of typing out messages, I recommend using Slack!
You can write it in the Dubsado questionnaire I send you, or share it through LastPass if you're more comfortable with that. Only my assistant and I will ever access your passwords.
What does a blog post specifically include in your White Glove Blogging packages?
This is a completely done-for-you package, where I handle the topic ideation all the way through to publishing and one round of edits. Here’s a list of all the “deliverables” you’ll receive with every single blog post:
- Top images selected through your gallery sharing website (20-25 for sessions, 25-35 for weddings)
- All images compressed through SpaceSaver
- Keyword research relating to location, theme, & topic of blog post
- Target keyword chosen + used in title/meta description/excerpt/image titles
- URL slug with target keyword
- Alt text for at least 75% of the post’s images
- Collages of 1-3 images created through Storytailor, each with a target keyword as the filename
- Green light for Yoast SEO & readability (Yoast plugin for WordPress)
- At least 1 inbound link + 1 outbound link
- Copy: 500-900 words for photographer’s galleries, 1500-2500 words for articles
- 1 round of revision where you can send me any edits within 1 week of publishing. Any additional rounds of revision past that (or any that take place after 1 week) will require an additional fee of $75 each, or you can make the changes yourself!
**Disclaimer**
Results are not guaranteed & your website needs to be somewhat optimized when you come to me, in order to convert traffic from Google into inquiries. The more SEO-optimized your site is, the more (and the higher) blogs will rank, and the quicker you’ll see results!
A few frequently asked questions
and hopefully all the answers you need
Danielle is literally a game changer.
“It's actually hard to put into words how much she has completely changed my business. If you're feeling like you want to up your website game, get new clients from Google, create resources for your current and potential clients, and showcase your work in the most gorgeous way, RUN, don't walk to Danielle! I have never been so impressed by someone's professionalism, creativity, hard work, and communication, even when I am in the middle of one of the most hectic few years of my business and raising a family.”
