Senior Portrait Photographer Orange County

November 12, 2009

I love all the random ways my clients discover Carly Daniel Photography.  Rachel and Aurora’s dad used to be my dad’s mailman, so he knew we were a family of photographers.  When it came time for his twin daughters’ senior portraits, he called me up and we scheduled a downtown Laguna Beach portrait session.  I [...]

Pamela and Michael had some of the most creative wedding details I’ve ever seen.  From the self serve candy buffet with customized M&Ms, to the personalized signs decorating the reception, the details alone were a feast for the eyes.  The day began at the majestic Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, where we took advantage of [...]

Family Portraits Laguna Beach

November 10, 2009

Mandee and Tom are past wedding clients of mine, so I was thrilled when they returned for family portraits. Their son is such a ham in front of the camera; I had a great time joking around with him while simultaneously snapping away on my camera.

I vividly remember the first time I met Anni: my sophomore year at a Delta Gamma rush party. I was so drawn to her personality and wit; I just knew we would end up being friends. Any girl who has the guts to sport a hot pink cast on her injured leg is cool in [...]

Seven Degrees combines ultra-dramatic lighting and unique pieces of art to create a chic, modern wedding venue in Laguna Beach.

Rancho Santa Margarita Wedding | Belltower Regional Community Center

October 11, 2009

When I first met Ashley and Jeff, Ashley showed me an image of her custom made wedding gown on her phone.  At that moment, I knew I would most likely die if they didn’t hire me.  Thankfully they did, so I’m still alive.  Being a fellow lover of the color pink (I used to drive [...]

Baby Photography Newport Beach

I don’t like to play favorites, but I must admit that baby D is my favorite little person to photograph. Her parents hired me to do her newborn photo session, and I have photographed her at least 5 more times since then. Just a couple weeks ago I met baby D’s new baby brother at [...]

LDS Temple Newport Beach Wedding

September 29, 2009

A Mormon wedding ceremony taking place in the Temple (aka “sealing”) is a sacred event in which a man and woman are united as husband and wife not merely “till death do us part” but, for all eternity.  Once the sealing has been completed, the newlyweds exit the Temple and are greeted by close friends and [...]
