Commercial Photography & Video Production in Whitefish, Montana
by Danielle Pittman
Your business has something worth selling. Your content should make that easy to see.
Campaign-ready visual content created across Whitefish, Kalispell, the Flathead Valley, and the Northern Rockies. I create photography, video, and aerial content designed to do more than fill a gallery. Each production is planned around how your brand actually needs to communicate, from website and booking pages to social, email, advertising, and press. FAA Part 107 certified for drone work. Fully insured. Fast turnaround.
What I Build
Most businesses don’t need more random content. They need the right content for what they’re trying to accomplish.
You might be launching something new, refreshing an outdated visual library, heading into a new season, trying to show the experience behind your product or property, or simply realizing that your current images aren’t giving your marketing team enough to work with.
I build productions around those needs, creating cohesive photography, video, lifestyle, environmental, detail, and aerial assets that can work together across your marketing.
One production. A useful visual library. Multiple places to put it to work.
Single-deliverable commercial productions start at $1,000. Commercial packages start at $2,400.
Commercial Photography:When your existing images don’t show enough of what you sell, I build the visual library to fill the gaps.
Product, lifestyle, environmental, editorial, destination, and brand photography created around where the images actually need to work.
Useful for:
New products and launches
Website refreshes
Seasonal campaigns
Hospitality and booking content
Destination marketing
Social and email
Advertising and press
See the approach in practice: Lobster Night | Content Production →Commercial Videography: When a still image isn’t enough to communicate the experience, video brings movement, people, atmosphere, and product use into the campaign. Short-form vertical content, social-first video, hero films, and campaign video can be produced alongside photography or as a standalone production. Photo and video can be planned as one production rather than coordinating separate shoots. I plan video around its destination, whether that’s a website, paid campaign, social feed, launch, email campaign, or brand story.
Drone Aerials: Sometimes the customer needs to understand the place before they understand the product. FAA Part 107 certified aerial photography and video for campaigns, hospitality, destinations, properties, and commercial projects where perspective, scale, location, and context matter. Starting at $300 as an add-on.
Image and Video Licensing: Already have the production covered but need the right image? A growing archive of Montana, Glacier National Park, wildlife, and Northern Rockies imagery available for commercial use across web, social, editorial, advertising, and destination marketing. Starting at $250 per image. Packages available.
Social First Mobile Content:
When you don’t need a full commercial production, but you still need content that looks intentional.
Social-first packages are designed for brands that need ready-to-publish vertical content without the scope of a larger production.
The workflow is lighter and mobile first, but the planning is still built around your brand, audience, and what the content needs to accomplish. Starting at $900.
Best for: social media, launches, seasonal refreshes, behind-the-scenes content, and quick-turn campaigns.
Local Businesses:
You have a content problem, but don’t need a massive campaign.
If your website is outdated, you’re launching something new, your menu/product/service has changed, or you simply don’t have enough good imagery to market your business consistently, focused productions are available for qualifying Flathead Valley businesses.
These are intentionally narrower than my standard commercial productions, giving smaller businesses a practical way to build a professional visual library without taking on a full campaign. Here’s what it’s like to work together: Photography and Video in the Flathead Valley.
Focused local packages start at $850.
One Production. Many Uses.
You don’t need more content. You need content that works.
A production shouldn’t leave you with one pretty gallery and the same problem six weeks later. I plan each shoot around where the content needs to work and build the deliverables accordingly.
Website
Hero imagery, product pages, booking pages
Social
Reels, Stories, posts, and vertical video
Email
Campaigns, launches, and newsletters
Advertising
Paid social and digital campaigns
Press + Editorial
Media outreach, publications, and tourism features
Print
Brochures, visitor guides, and marketing collateral
The result is a cohesive visual library your team can keep using, rather than a gallery that gets posted once and forgotten.
The Process
1. Define: We start with what you’re trying to sell, launch, fill, or communicate, where the content needs to appear, and what your existing library is missing.
2. Develop: I build the creative direction, shot list, locations, talent, logistics, and production plan around those needs.
3. Produce: Photography, video, lifestyle, product, environmental, and aerial content are captured as one cohesive production when applicable.
4. Deliver: You receive an organized, ready-to-use gallery of finished assets, professionally curated and prepared for the agreed uses. Standard delivery includes photographer-selected final images; client selection from an expanded proof gallery is available as an add-on.Why Work With Me?
I approach commercial production from both the creative and business sides. I think about your audience, your goals, what you’re trying to communicate, and where the content will be used before I build the shot list.
Based in Whitefish at the doorstep of Glacier National Park, I work throughout the Flathead Valley and Northern Rockies and understand how to produce in the landscapes, weather, and conditions that make this region distinctive.
The result is work that feels authentic to the place while giving your marketing team a useful, flexible visual library.
