Many people can make great images. I think that a phenomenal experience from before booking until after your images are delivered is what elevates my brand above others. I love photography and making great new friends. My experience in all different lighting scenarios in many different venues should make you comfortable with knowing that consistently I deliver quality, wonderful imagery.

Daniel was amazing to work with for our maternity photos. He was thoughtful and patient while helping us choose a location and had great suggestions that helped us find the perfect spot. During the shoot he made us feel totally comfortable and kept the experience fun and relaxed. He knew all the best spots around the location and helped us get such beautiful shots. He was also great with our dog and helped us include her in the photos. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we'd highly recommend Daniel. We definitely plan to work with him again in the future! More...

Don't walk--run to enlist Daniel's services!Had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel for my surprise proposal. I had explained to Daniel that the plan would be very hectic with no exact time and location, but Daniel was very accommodating and helped me the whole time. Proposing is a very stressful endeavor, but working with Daniel felt very reassuring.During the proposal itself, Daniel was excellent and took wonderful shots of my fiancée and I. He took every moment beautifully, and was a professional with how he directed all the shots after the proposal itself. Hoping that down the line, we're able to return to Tahoe and will definitely enlist Daniel's services again. You and your partner won't regret hiring him! More...

I contacted Daniel literally the week before our wedding. We were lucky enough that he was able to do the photography for us on Sunday, October 5. It was a beautiful day, we got married outside in an Aspen Grove and he was wonderful. He is fun and funny and he engages with everyone and doesn't leave anyone out and took so many fabulous photos. Every picture was exactly what we wanted. I am so thankful that we were lucky enough to get him such last minute. Jennifer Bennett More...

Daniel is the best! We traveled to our venue so we met over the phone and he immediately felt like a friend. His energy was great as soon as he arrived to shoot. He is personable, professional, and great at giving direction. Everyone at the wedding loved him, and our friends who are engaged want to use him next. We knew the photos would be amazing during the shoot, but we got our sneak peaks and we are in love!! We are incredibly lucky we found him. Highly recommend!!! More...

We worked with Daniel for our first professional photo shoot to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery. If you're in the South Lake Tahoe area and need a photographer who's talented, personable, and genuinely cares about your experience, Daniel is the one. More...

It was serendipitous that I came across Daniel's instagram randomly in the early stages of wedding planning, and the most recent photos happened to be from the venue we'd chosen so it was clear he knew the venue and that his pictures were magical. Our wedding planners were thrilled that we had found him as they have all worked together and have a great working relationship. Daniel is exuberant and brings such authentic enthusiasm to his work. He was super helpful in the day of planning, and on the day managed our timeline with great efficiency and professionalism. All of our guests were highly impressed at his commitment to getting every shot both posed and candid of us, our families, and portraits of our guests. My husband's most important moment to capture was sunset and our sunset photos are beyond stunning. We had a really positive experience working with Daniel as a person and photographer and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a wedding or any special event. More...

We had such a wonderful experience with Daniel during our family vacation in Lake Tahoe! From the very beginning, he brought so much energy and warmth to our session. Our kids immediately felt comfortable with him! He was playful, patient, and knew exactly how to keep them engaged (which is no small task!). His bubbly, energetic personality made the whole experience fun rather than stressful, and it really shows in the photos. The images themselves are absolutely beautiful. He captured both candid, joy-filled moments and stunning posed shots with the gorgeous Tahoe backdrop. The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations, and we will treasure them for years to come. If you're looking for someone who not only delivers incredible photos but also knows how to connect with kids and families, I couldn't recommend Daniel more highly! More...

We recently did our very first family photo session, and I'm so grateful we chose Daniel to capture it. From the moment we met, he made everything feel easy and natural. We shot at a popular beach location, and I appreciated how he was constantly scanning for the best backdrops while also guiding us through every pose. He told us where to stand, what to do with our hands, and how to tilt our heads--small details that made a huge difference in how comfortable and confident we felt.With a 9-year-old and an 11-month-old, I wasn't sure how things would go, but Daniel was amazing with both of them. He knew exactly how to get their attention and even made it fun for them, which took a lot of stress off me. I usually feel super awkward in front of the camera, but having someone direct us so clearly took all the pressure off.He sent us a sneak peek within two days, and I'm already in love with the photos. I can't wait to see the full gallery. On top of his talent, Daniel is just a genuinely kind and personable guy--you can tell he really cares about his work and his clients. He's passionate, incredibly skilled, and someone I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer. I feel so lucky he was the one to capture this special moment for our family. More...

My experience with Daniel was phenomenal from the very beginning. I'm that last minute mom where I try to plan a family portrait a week out from my trip to Tahoe in hopes that an amazing photographer would be available. I was so excited that Daniel responded to my inquiry so fast and was detailed and sweet in his response! He made the booking process quick and easy and was flexible working around my toddlers nap schedule. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my shoot with him when getting to Tahoe as I had a bad eye allergy. He was very empathetic about the situation and was happy to reschedule for a later date. I was so upset that I had to cancel with him because I'm sure he would have made our first family portraits so magical. I would absolutely recommend him and the next time we're in South Lake Tahoe, will rebook him! More...

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel Cewinski Photography during a recent family reunion vacation in Lake Tahoe.

We had requested more candid, fun shots rather than formal posed photos, and Daniel was incredibly responsive to our vision--finding creative ways to capture genuine moments that reflected our family's spirit.On top of that, when one of our family members suddenly fell ill and needed to visit urgent care, Daniel was kind, flexible, and incredibly accommodating with rescheduling.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Relating to the subject. Technical knowledge is a must, but when you capture true personality and emotion.. it shows.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are the end result of these? Your wall, a book, online, prints?
What do you love most about your job?
Getting a glimpse into peoples lives with freedom and flexibility to live mine with my family.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love people and I love photography, so the answer was simple... open my own service. It makes me so happy and proud that you hang images we make together on your wall.
Why should our clients choose you?
So I create wonderful images. There is a lot of talent out there. My service starts at your inquiry and never ends. I am local and am happy to help with any questions, related to me and my service or just the area.
