Dalia & Light Photography

I found Daliaandlightphotography on social media, and when I saw the opportunity to finally be in the photos with my family instead of always being the one behind the camera, I knew I had to go for it—especially four months postpartum. I also invited my in-laws because they had never had professional photos done with us or even together themselves. I knew this would be more than just a family photo session; it would be creating memories that we could all have and treasure. From our very first communication online to meeting in person, she was absolutely wonderful. She is kind, approachable, patient, and genuinely makes you feel comfortable. As a mom herself, she gets it. And that made such a difference. Her work speaks for itself—it is absolutely beautiful. But what stood out to me just as much was the feeling she created behind the camera: peace. We had our session at the beach on a very windy evening, and somehow she was helping me keep my hair out of my face, coordinating who was with whom, switching people in and out, all while making everything feel completely seamless. With three children I expected there to be some chaos, but she was so gentle, playful, patient, and kind with them. She never made us feel rushed or like we were difficult to photograph. She just went with the flow and made the entire experience easy. At one point, it honestly felt less like we were with a photographer and more like we were spending time with an old friend who just happened to be capturing our family exactly as we are. I cannot rave enough about her approach. The photos are beautiful, but the experience of having them taken is something I will remember too. I truly feel like your family is in the best hands with her. I now have photographs that I will treasure for a lifetime—and, more importantly, photographs my children will one day be able to look back on and enjoy. I've already signed up for two more sessions and look forward to it! If you’re considering booking her, do it. Your future self will be so grateful you did.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do our photoshoot! We are so grateful that you captured these beautiful photos of our family. You made us feel so comfortable and made the whole experience so much fun and relaxed. Your work is truly amazing! Thank you again for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. We appreciate you!

We had the absolute best experience with Dalia and Light Photography! She did a sunset family photo shoot for us at Robert Moses Beach Boardwalk, and we couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. The sunset, the location, and especially the way she captured our family made the pictures so beautiful and special. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot and was so easy and fun to work with. She captured so many genuine moments that we’ll cherish forever. We absolutely love our photos and would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and amazing person behind the lens!

Obsessed is an understatement, thank you for capturing such a special moment for us!
