escape the ordinary
what we do.
authentic storytelling
We have been to some incredible places, and heard a few fish stories along the way. If there’s one thing that we know for sure, authenticity is everything. Amazing imagery comes from real and tangible experiences. It comes from people who live and breathe and love. We don’t do Hollywood, we create real experiences with real people, and then they pull up their socks and live.
compelling content
Our collective attention span has taken a long walk off a short dock. Human beings are surrounded by incessant click-bait advertising and disposable futures. That’s just not part of the game for us. We work with people who believe in a better world and a better way because that’s what we believe in. We believe that all of us are in search of the same few things, love, food, home, and some sense of freedom; that notion is the driving force behind what we create.
dynamic imagery
We want your brand to have it’s own voice, and we want that voice to be heard. We don’t make phone calls with our cameras, and we don’t take pictures with our cell phones. No filters, no selfies, no gimmicks; we truly believe in creating timeless and transcendent images that invoke legitimate emotional responses. That’s it… plus 1,000 words.

“Denis and Allie are master curators of experience, able to take their audience on incredible journeys through their lens. They have an innate insight into visual storytelling, and understand deeply the importance of preserving authenticity in brand marketing. I would 100% hire them for every project, every time.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Allie and Denis (Little Schooner Studios) during my time at Klean Kanteen. We were able to work on several projects together, and it was evident after the first project that I would be working with them for a long time. I was lucky enough to be in a position to give them creative freedom and they knocked everything out of the park. They delivered exceptional lifestyle and product photography that had a very realistic and warm feel. The way they naturally directed talent and captured the essence of the Klean Kanteen brand with each shoot was incredible. Every project delivered built upon the last and had a great response on site, social and email - from both consumers and internal stakeholders. They delivered upon everything I asked of them and beyond, all while telling a magnificent story with every image. I will continue to seek out their work wherever I go.”
—Brendan Fay, Klean Kanteen, Social Media Manager
“I had the pleasure of working with Denis and Allie for years while they sailed the world. They never failed to deliver unique, beautiful imagery showcasing the gear we had sent them along the way.”
—Julie Bacon, Astral Designs, Marketing Director
