About me

Hello. Hola.

Hey there, I'm Daniella – an outgoing, passionate Latina photographer based in Southern California. Originally from Northern California, I made the move to SoCal in 2019, ready to capture stories from San Francisco to all corners of the world. Specializing in portraits, steamy couple sessions, adventurous elopements, and intimate weddings, I'm here to narrate your tale through my lens.

Now you're probably wondering why I named my photography business Lela Photography. Lela is a nickname that was given to me by my younger brother. It stuck when, at the age of four, saying my full name proved a tongue-twister for him. Despite our practice, 'Lela' was all that would come out – and it's become a cherished part of who I am.

Let me share a bit more about myself – I'm a fervent traveler, always ready to jet off at a moment's notice. My passport and camera bag are perpetually packed, awaiting the next adventure. An old soul at heart, you'll often find me cruising to oldies on Sunday evenings, or indulging in my obsessions with Christmas and all things Disney. When it comes to food, BBQ and seafood are my sustenance, but nothing beats quality time with family – they mean the world to me.

Capturing genuine, candid emotions is my forte. Warning: my energy is infectious, and every session begins with building a genuine friendship. I thrive on connecting with those who value experiences, and I'm drawn to individuals willing to step outside their comfort zones. My aim? To not only deliver expected images but to unveil those 'unseen' moments that enrich your story. Every session is infused with my heartfelt dedication – it's about more than just time in front of the camera.

So, what are you waiting for? Let's embark on an adventure together – book your session and let's create unforgettable memories!"

Let's be real- if you're not having fun, then it doesn't make sense!
