Hi, I’m Daniel Wesley.
I’m a big kid at heart: silly, creative, and easygoing.
I love that first sip of coffee on a crisp morning, the spray of cool saltwater on my face as I paddle out to surf, and the sweet, musky smell of sage in the desert after it rains.
I’m a film school grad and a lifelong science fiction nerd, both of which quietly shape how I see the world and tell stories. You won’t be jumping into an alternate reality or fighting an alien invasion mid-session, but I approach every shoot with the same belief: anything is possible when people feel comfortable and are being themselves. The sky’s definitely not the limit!
"Daniel brought energy to the day and encouraged fun. If you love a warm, candid family photo, Daniel will capture it."
—The Leon Family
“Had never done a photoshoot before but he made it super fun and made sure I was comfortable the entire time.”
—Sam Polczynski
"Daniel has a very cheerful, kind and thoughtful spirit which makes photoshoots feel natural and joyful."
—Romanowsky Family
