Hello… I’m Daniella (call me Dani!) and it’s my job to…

Capture quiet authentic moments of your family

…so that you can treasure them when they are long over and the footprints have grown.

My story

My passion is to create family, newborn or maternity photographs that draw you in and tell your story, honestly, beautifully and artistically.

My obsession is capturing raw personality and real connections and relationships between families. To me, the biggest gift I can give to another family is to transport you back to moments in time through heirloom photographs so that you can relive that time over and over again.

My journey started when I ripped open the wrapping on my fifteenth birthday revealing an SLR Camera, a lens through which I could view the world. Over the years I have studied and honed my craft and found a voice to express my own personal style of photography.

Newborn safety

Your baby’s safety is my number 1 concern

When working with babies in Newborn photoshoots, I take all safety precautions and only pose them in comfortable safe positions – led by the baby. My family and I are all fully immunised (covid and whooping cough). You will notice that before every photoshoot begins, I always wash my hands. Your babies safety is my number 1 concern.

What I believe

Life is lived in the moments

It is a privilege and an honour for me to be a part of your day and to be given the opportunity to create art with your most intimate moments. I believe that life is lived in the moments. I aim to capture some of these so when you look back on your photographs you see your real life, the treasured moments oft forgotten. So that many years from now when your children look back on these photographs it awakens a memory of what their childhood felt like. That is the kind of photography I am passionate about.
