Testimonial Thursday Spotlight: Daren & Deanna Baker

March 2, 2024 by Katie Curtis

Hey, everyone! It’s time to shine a spotlight on some incredible people in our Thursday Testimonial series. Today, I want to express my gratitude to the dynamic duo, Daren and Deanna Baker from DBaker Designs. It’s always heartwarming to receive kind words and recognition from such awesome people!

Bakers, I am surprised every time I realize you both live in Michigan and not some hoity-toity artist city like New York or somewhere in California.

[Daren]:
Hey, everybody, it’s Daren Baker of DBaker Designs, coming to you with 60 seconds of gratefulness! The one person, awesome person, kind, amazingly talented, Katie Curtis, who is owner operator of Inspired Video Marketing. She has done an amazing job for Deanne and I. You recently saw some of her work with the Macfiche, the giant troll that we did. Or giant, giant.

[Video Excerpt]:
[Daren]: “We are DBaker designs, and we make giants.
[Deanna]: I’m Deanna Baker.
[Daren]: Baker. The Pretty one.
[Deanna]: So pretty.
[Daren]: And I’m Darren, the ugly one.

[Daren continues speaking]:
That we recently did, she shot an amazing video. She edited it. She did all this really cool stuff. And, man, she made us look so much better than what we actually are. And I can’t express my appreciation enough for her or for you, Katie, if you’re watching. Thank you so much.

It’s an amazing work, and we recognize that sick talent that you got and the great work and the hard work ethic and all the other stuff that we’ve seen. You’ve done absolutely amazing stuff. The fact that you did ours and we’ve been honored to have you do that work for us, makes it all the better. So, thank you. Gratitude, out to Katie Curtis of Inspired Video Marketing.

[Video Excerpt]:
[Deanna]: Why the giant and what we’d say to them?
[Daren]: That’s the number one question.
[Both Deanna & Daren]: Why not?
[People speaking]: Absolutely incredible. Very nice. We got it.

I promise your shoot day does NOT need to look lik I promise your shoot day does NOT need to look like one perfect take after another 😂

Most of the time, the first few minutes are just everyone settling in, getting used to the camera, and figuring out what feels natural.

And personally, I’d much rather leave room for that than have someone spend the whole shoot worried about getting everything right.

So come as you are. We’ll get there.

Different industries, different teams, completely different ways of doing things and somehow I always walk away having noticed something I can apply to my own business too.
 
I guess spending this much time behind the scenes of other people’s businesses will do that to you. Very grateful I get to call this work.

Another shoot with @freedomhousedetroit in the boo Another shoot with @freedomhousedetroit in the books! It was a hot one with plenty of walking, but getting to see familiar faces again made the day even better.

I also got the sweetest testimonial from FHD’s Chief Executive, which was such a lovely surprise! Always grateful when clients take the time to share kind words about working together. Definitely made the sweaty shoot day worth it.

It felt surreal to film for @spicerorchards as I grew up going to this Orchard. And while they knock it out of the park with their fall attractions, they're actually open year-round and have delicious treats and fun activities all year! (Christmas Train to see Santa anyone?)
 
If you get a chance, go visit them for some pick-your-own and to see all the awesomeness they have going on there.
