Design Consultation

Meet with Daniella
You get a chance to meet me and to discuss your vision for your portrait session. Have you thought of how you would like to be photographed? Who you would like to be photographed with? What do you want to wear? We get to create 3 distinct looks, discuss hair and makeup and the setup options that will best capture your beauty. Let's plan out your vision and ensure you know what to expect throughout the process. Your comfort is paramount!

Wardrobe, Hair & Makeup

Let’s glam you up!
Based on your vision, we will work together to select the most appropriate outfits ahead of time and take the “what to wear stress!” out of the picture. You also have access to our studio wardrobe with a selection of gowns and tulle skirts. The day of your session, your professional team of hair and makeup artist will create a polished look that best suit you. From natural to full on glam, the choice is yours!

Photography Session

Lights, camera, action!
While this is your time to shine, rest assured that you’ll be guided every step of the way. I will create 3 different setups using backdrops, lights and so much more to achieve the look and feel chosen. I know posing can be a challenge for most of us - we are not models. I have a proven system to assist you with posing along with images you can look at to help you during the shoot. Relax, I've got you! Let's enjoy this moment. I will take care of all of the right touch-ups and enhancements to celebrate who you truly are through the beautifully created mood and style of your photoshoot.

The Ordering Session

Prepare to be amazed!
You will enjoy a virtual or in-person presentation of all your beautiful images. We will meet via online screen share if an in-person meeting is not an option for you. This is your opportunity to see all your beautiful images and select all your favorites - not mines, for retouching. Luxury 11 x 14 handmade photo box. The number of images you receive is based on your chosen package which includes the digitals of each image purchased. All products, mats, prints, and wall art are museum archival grade that will endure the test of time.

“Don’t hesitate to book with Daniella!”

“My first destination experience with a professional portrait photographer in Aruba was amazing! I had no idea how it was going to happen, it was quite challenging to shoot with the sun but Daniella made me feel at ease, she was professional and friendly and had a great sense of fashion and poses.

The locations were stunning and she was pleasant to work with! She was flexible yet had prepared for the different locations at different hours and time in order to capture the best lights and scenery.

Don’t hesitate to book with Daniella! And my pictures wow!!! I love them! For sure hiring her for my next destination portrait session!”

“She will bring your beauty and confidence out every shot.”

“Working with Daniella was a great pleasure. I had never done a photoshoot before. Daniella made the atmosphere in the studio so relaxing that I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. She understood the assignment that I relayed to her and worked to make my vision come to life.

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have a self-love experience. She will bring your beauty and confidence out every shot. Thank you Daniella, my husband loved the pictures.”

“You will feel like an actual editorial photoshoot.”

“Daniella was the photographer of choice for my maternity pictures, and I am extremely pleased with every aspect of working with her.

"She created an atmosphere where I felt very comfortable and enabled me to be myself.

She was extremely professional and personable at the same time. She provided hair and makeup, and even props. You will feel like you are in an actual editorial photoshoot. My pictures came out extremely well. The quality of her photos and her packaging speaks to the photographer and business woman that she is. Five Stars!!!!!”

— Sabrina Walcott

“I really want you to experience feeling special throughout the entire process. From booking until your photos are hanging on your walls. It’s not just about the end result. It’s about the full experience.”
