An unforgettable experience
Celebrating the joy of family moments
I was just 3 weeks postpartum and Dani drove out and brought her talent to our home. Not only was she exceptionally talented— arranging us in parts of our house we never thought to see beauty in— but she was so comforting and helpful with the kids. She captured beauty in the chaos of our family. She made us laugh, kept us all comfortable and let the kids play all while photographing things we never thought we could cherish.
This shoot was done just shy of 2 years after she photographed our elopement. I will never forget seeing her sweep leaves with her bare hands since there wasn’t a broom. Hysterical, but yet another example of her exceptional talent in photography, flexibility, and adaptability in making sure it’s exactly the “vibe” we wanted captured.
Our family cherishes the photos Dani has captured of each milestone. With this, she has become a part of our family. Every time we gift pictures, print and hang them in our home, or even look through the digital albums, we are reminded of these incredible moments forever.
Dani is our first choice for photography and I highly recommend her services for any need or desire of yours.
Love,
The DeSanto Family

We first worked with Dani at our wedding in 2023. Her personality is so warm and welcoming that taking pictures with her was immediately a breeze and actually felt natural! My husband and I both felt so comfortable around her.
Now it’s 2025 and she has done our maternity and family life photoshoot! For our maternity photoshoot we went to a private beach that didn’t look like much but her pictures made my maternity photoshoot dreams come to life. The editing, the different poses, and her energy during the entire shoot was amazing! We were so happy with the way these pictures came out.
With our family lifestyle photoshoot, she handled our twins so well! We have twin identical boys and the way she captured all their little details made me fall in love with them even more looking at our pictures! The pictures of our whole family just melt my heart. You can feel the emotion and how much love we have for our new little additions. She got pictures of me looking my best on my wedding day and now pictures of me recently postpartum not feeling the most confident in myself and when I look back at these photos I feel so beautiful in both instances.
She has an eye for detail and beauty. Dani makes the camera lens come to life and takes you back to that moment of feeling! We will always use her to capture the big chapters in our lives!

"Dani was absolutely amazing with our 1 week old during his newborn shoot! She was so patient and sweet with him! She kept him warm and comfy the whole time - while doing a variety of different poses and outfits. We have received a tease or two already from the shoot from just a few days ago and I cannot wait to see the rest! I can already tell she captured pure magic. I’m so grateful for Dani and the moments she is helping us document during our sweet newborn baby bubble time. I would recommend Dani to any new mamas and dadas looking for a creative and kind photographer to capture their babe! "

"After having a child, you know how hard it is to go places and do the smallest things...
Dani made the trip, 45 minutes, to my house to do my newborn photos.
My living room looked like a professional studio... backdrop, lighting and all!
Dani was so wonderful with my little girl, so gentle, made sure she was nice and toasty.
The pictures that came out of this shoot are something of a fairytale.
My heart melted.
100% recommend having Dani capture the precious moments of a your little one and growing family.
Nothing like it
so happy that I have these pictures forever and can't wait to have another baby so Dani can come make magic again!"

"Dani is absolutely wonderful! I booked her for a maternity session but we ended up having to reschedule. Unfortunately, my baby was ready to come into the world a little early—and on the day of our shoot. Dani was so flexible, supportive, and creative as our maternity shoot turned into a newborn shoot. She brought her gear to my house and captured the most amazing photos of us in our newborn bliss! ETA: she even brought the cutest boho gown to wear for some of the shoot! I felt so much more beautiful 9 days postpartum than I could have imagined.
We loved Dani’s style so much that we met up again for a mini shoot at her studio to capture some holiday photos. They turned out better than we could have imagined and we will cherish every single shot forever!
If you’re looking for an energetic, compassionate, and creative photographer to capture your life’s most precious moments, don’t even think twice about booking Dani!!"

"We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Dani for both our maternity and newborn photo sessions. From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, even wading through freezing cold water to capture the perfect shot during our maternity shoot! When our newborn’s arrival came with unexpected delays at the hospital, she went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we still got the special moments captured. The final photos are absolutely beautiful and something we’ll treasure forever. Her patience, professionalism, and eye for detail are unmatched. We’re so grateful to have had her document such a meaningful chapter in our lives."

"Working with Dani Banda for both my maternity and newborn shoots was such a special experience. From the very beginning, Dani made everything feel effortless and comfortable during a time that can feel anything but that. During my maternity shoot, she captured such a beautiful mix of strength, excitement, and calm in a way that felt natural and authentic.
When it came time for our newborn session, Dani was incredibly patient, gentle, and thoughtful. She handled our baby with so much care and made the entire process relaxed for us as new parents. Somehow she managed to capture the tiniest, sweetest moments that we’ll treasure forever.
Her eye for detail, warmth, and ability to make you feel completely at ease truly sets her apart. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture this once-in-a-lifetime season for our family.
If you’re looking for someone to document maternity or newborn moments, I can’t recommend Dani enough. We are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully."

"Photography isn’t just about capturing what’s in front of you—it’s about how you choose to see the world. Light, composition, and perspective turn an ordinary scene into something extraordinary. Creativity is what makes an image feel alive."

Five years ago, Dani walked into our lives with a camera and somehow never left our hearts. What started as a Santa photoshoot — wrangling excited, wiggly kids and somehow catching the most genuine smiles — turned into a relationship our whole family treasures.
Birthday parties, seasonal sessions, holidays, milestones — she's been there for all of it. And here's what amazes me: every single time, she shows up better than before. Sharper angles, more creative edits, more thoughtful production. But the one thing that never changes? The way she treats my kids like they're her own. Patient, warm, and genuinely invested in capturing who they actually are — not just how they look.
These photos are more than pictures to us. They're proof that our kids were little, that we were together, that we were happy. Dani gave us that.
If you're on the fence, get off it. Book her. You will not regret it for a single second.
