Daniel Wesley, Orange County and Los Angeles family photographer

Hey, I’m
Daniel Wesley.

Family photographer in Orange County and Los Angeles.

I come from a family of teachers, and connecting with kids comes naturally to me. My family sessions feel like a little adventure, with time to explore and a little help from me along the way.

I also photograph maternity, newborns and seniors.

The Leon family during an Orange County family session

The Leon family, about forty seconds after somebody said “I don’t wanna.”

The Sondhi family, all four looking at the camera and smiling, during an Orange County family session — The Sondhi family. The one for the wall.

One of the Sondhi boys halfway up a tree by the lake, grinning at the camera, while his brother watches from the grass below — Same afternoon. The one for the fridge.

We make the classic one. Then we go play.

Easy direction, room to be yourselves.

I say hi to the kids first, then give the grown-ups clear direction: where to stand, what to do with your hands, when to look at me. After that, the hour follows your family.

Kind words

Their words, not mine.

He gave us just enough direction without making anything feel forced or awkward. Within minutes, we were laughing, relaxing, and genuinely enjoying ourselves.
