Hi, I'm Daniela.
I'm the photographer and creative behind Captured by Daniela, and for over 15 years I've had the privilege of documenting some of life's most meaningful milestones for families in Southern California.
What began as a passion for photography throughout my whole entire life has grown into a business centered around creating personalized portrait experiences that feel just as special as the memories they're preserving. From children's birthdays and newborns to maternity, family, and branding sessions, I believe every client deserves an experience that feels effortless, welcoming, and uniquely their own.
One of my favorite parts of what I do is bringing ideas to life. Many of the sets you see throughout my work are designed and created by me, allowing every session to feel personal rather than one-size-fits-all. Whether your vision is simple and elegant or imaginative and detailed, my goal is to create portraits that genuinely reflect you and your family.
As a one-person studio, I'll be with you every step of the way—from answering your first inquiry and planning your session to photographing, editing, and delivering your final gallery. Building lasting relationships with my clients is one of the most rewarding parts of my work, and I'm truly honored each time a family trusts me to document another chapter of their story.
Thank you for considering me to capture your special moments. I look forward to creating something beautiful together.
