Oh, hello!
I'm Daniella

Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, celebrating a milestone, or simply want beautiful family memories, my sessions are designed to feel calm, unhurried, and completely centred around you.

Timeless Newborn, Baby & Family Photography in South Devon
The days may feel long, but the years pass in the blink of an eye. From those tiny newborn fingers wrapped around yours to muddy boots on family adventures and the laughter that fills your home, every stage of family life deserves to be remembered.
At Pengelly Portraits, I specialise in newborn, baby, maternity and family photography from my welcoming studio in Shaldon, near Teignmouth. I also photograph families across South Devon, including Newton Abbot, Exeter, Dawlish, Torquay and the surrounding areas.
My photography is centred around genuine connection rather than perfect poses. I want you to look back at your photographs and remember exactly how this season of life felt—the cuddles, the giggles, the tiny details and the love that makes your family unique.
Every session is thoughtfully planned to create a calm, relaxed experience where children are free to be themselves and parents can simply enjoy spending time together. There is no pressure to perform or pose perfectly. Instead, I gently guide you while allowing natural moments to unfold, creating timeless photographs that feel authentic and full of emotion.
Whether you're welcoming your first baby, celebrating your growing family or simply wanting to freeze a moment before your children grow another little bit older, I'm here to create beautiful artwork that will become part of your family's story for generations to come.

LOVE NOTES
Daniella was amazing. Her warm and kind personality put us all at ease immediately and helped us enjoy the photoshoot. In spite of being a bank holiday weekend, she found a secluded spot on the beach for the pictures and honestly an hour felt like just a few minutes. We were nervous to begin with, little ones can be unpredictable, but Daniella stayed calm and even when our baby started crying she found a way around it and still got beautiful pictures out of it. Thank you!

Daniella is a wonderful photographer who got AMAZING pictures of our 3 month old and family ❤️ really flexible, and she knew just how to get our daughter to smile. She's really very talented and extremely nice too. 10/10 recommended to any family in devon (or just visiting!) who's looking for family photos that can last a lifetime.
