Family & Baby Portraits

Hey! I'm Daniella, a Maternity, Newborn, Baby and Family photographer based in Shaldon, Devon. I'm a creative entrepreneur, baby obsessed, and extremely patient... all things that help me as a portrait photographer.

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.

Motherhood

I have always such a huge appreciation towards every parent that has come into my studio the past 8 years but since becoming a mummy to my little Amaya in 2024 it has opened my eyes to motherhood & just how precious each moment is, and also how fleeting they are too!


This has heightened my goal to preserve those unique memories for each & every family that comes to my Shaldon studio.

Photography

My style is simple and timeless. I use a few props that help create gorgeous portraits of your baby, but my focus is always on them, their expressions, details and personality.


I want to make sure that you enjoy an excellent, personalised service from the moment you book, during your photography session, through to seeing your beautiful photos professionally printed.
