We had such a great experience working with Daniel for our corporate team photo shoot! He brought such great energy to the session and made everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He was professional, personable, and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable.
And the photos turned out AMAZING! We were so impressed with the quality and how well he captured our team. I would absolutely recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a talented photographer who knows how to create a fun, professional experience while delivering fantastic results!
My associate and I were looking for somewhere to get professional headshots, and Daniel knocked it out of the park. Not only is the pricing reasonable, he is extremely communicative and efficient. His set up is next level, with various lighting and background options, and our photos turned out fantastic. Daniel overdelivered on his service and we are very satisfied. Highly recommend if you are looking for a photographer in the DFW area!

Our firm of six, with colleagues from Houston and Dallas, attended a conference at a hotel in Dallas. We engaged Daniel to take group photos to update our website. He researched the hotel in advance and found the perfect place to shoot. We enjoyed the whole experience with him. He made us feel comfortable, laugh, and think out of the box. His photos turned out great. We are very pleased and will engage with him again when the need arises. If you are on the fence, take the chance. You will not regret it!

Thank you so much, Nancy, this truly means a lot. I really enjoyed working with your team. The energy everyone brought made it easy to create something natural, relaxed, and a little outside the box. I’m so glad the images turned out the way you hoped and that you enjoyed the experience as much as I did.
I’d love to work together again anytime you need updated visuals. I really appreciate your trust and kind words.

We had a great experience working with Daniel! He did an excellent job capturing our signage and graphics products with a perfect mix of wide shots and detailed close-ups, really showcasing the quality of our work.
Communication was smooth and professional throughout the entire process, which made everything easy and stress-free. The photo selection process was also seamless and well-organized, allowing us to quickly find exactly what we needed.
Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who delivers both quality results and a great overall experience!

Thank you so much for this, it really means a lot Nicholas! I enjoyed working with you all, and it was clear how much pride you take in your signage and graphics. Capturing that level of detail and craftsmanship was important to me, so I’m really glad that came through in the images.
I appreciate the trust, and I’d love to work together again down the line! God Bless!

I cannot recommend Daniel enough for corporate headshots. We had a complex schedule and he was incredible accommodating — even coming out in two separate days to two different locations to make sure everyone was covered.
He arrived early both days and was a total breeze to schedule with. Even when our final headcount shifted, he remained flexible and efficient. What really impressed me was his approachability; he was so patient with team members who wanted to tweak their hair or poses for a redo, ensuring everyone was actually happy with their shot.
The turnaround on the finalized photos was fast, and the quality was top-tier. If you need a photographer who is professional, flexible, and genuinely great to work with, Daniel is your person!

Thank you again for the trust, I’d love to work together again anytime in the future. God bless!

We worked with Daniel Motta for professional portraits for a magazine ad for our new clinic, and the experience was excellent. Daniel is very professional, approachable, and has a sharp eye for his craft. He communicated clearly throughout the process, and the photos turned out exactly as we envisioned. It was very pleasant to work with Daniel. His pricing is transparent and reasonable. We would definitely work with him again for future marketing photography and highly recommend him.

Cynthia RigneyLocal Guide · 12 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Cynthia has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I cannot say enough great things about Daniel Motta Photography! I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Danny was so quick to respond, and gave me step-by-guidance on the process. (I also felt his website really prepared me for what to expect. His insights on what to wear and what not to wear were really helpful because they explained why certain colors, patterns, etc. aren't the best option.)
The shoot itself was so easy. Danny gave great feedback, and coached me on how to stand, tilt my head, stick out my chin... all these things that seem silly but just show his incredible attention to detail. The final images were great, and the turnaround was really fast! Danny is an amazing photographer. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for professional photos.

We contacted Daniel for some outdoor headshots and team pictures and he did a fantastic job through and through. He gave us tips and pointers on how to present ourselves in the photos to match the aesthetic and theme that we were going for. He also did an excellent job making us feel comfortable and confident in our pictures we were taking. Daniel is super personable and got back to us within a day of us shooting our photos. All in all, the process was very quick and efficient and we got an excellent set of photos from his shots and editing process. I can't recommend Daniel enough!
