I am daniela

but you can call me Dani

It all started on family trips. Even as a kid, I'd ask my parents for the camera to photograph whatever caught my eye. I loved looking through our printed photo albums, trips, birthdays, Christmases, any moment my parents decided to document, and honestly, I still do.

I got my first DSLR at 15, and there was no turning back after that. I started photographing trips, my friends, landscapes, my own family — and six years ago, I found my way to family photography. It has my whole heart. To me, there's nothing more valuable than a moment frozen in time, full of love and joy, that you can return to whenever you want.

"if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be”

made with intention

and lots of love

I believe something made with intention can outlast time itself. What matters most to me isn't a photograph, it's giving you something invaluable, something you can come back to and feel your heart expand with all the love it holds. This isn't about performing for the camera. It's about showing who your family really is, at their core.
