A heart for your most precious moments

Hello, I'm Cornelia Maria Dandarau. My loved ones also call me Nella.

I'm so glad you're here.

 

There's a very special magic in the air when a new life begins. A brief smile in their sleep, the tiny fist that closes around your finger... these moments are as fleeting as they are precious. I've made it my mission to capture this very magic for you.

Why I do what I love
My journey with photography began in my youth, but I found my true calling when I became a mother to my son, Aurelian Jeremias.

 

From my heart to yours: I know exactly how those first few weeks feel. The overwhelming love, the exhaustion, but also the worry of doing everything right. I understand the tears that flow when you look at your child, and I understand the deep desire to protect this happiness from the world.

Your Time Out – A Space of Peace & Mindfulness

As a yoga and meditation teacher, I bring a very special sense of calm to our sessions together. There's no rush here. Through mindful guidance and a relaxed atmosphere, I ensure that your baby (and you) can fully arrive in the present moment. We leave the stress of everyday life behind and create images that not only look beautiful but also feel comforting and secure.

Safety & Privacy – Your Treasures Are Safe With Me

I know that these days, a big question is: "What happens to my child's pictures?" As a mother myself, I completely understand your concerns about the internet and social media. Your privacy and your baby's safety are my top priority.

 

No publication without permission: You alone decide what is shared – and what remains private.

My "Privacy Blur" Special Offer: For all parents who want to share their joy without revealing their child's identity, I offer artistic retouching. Through gentle, aesthetic blurring or carefully chosen crops, your little one's face remains protected, while the emotion of the moment is preserved.

 

I'm here to tell your story—as gently and confidently as if it were my own.

I look forward to meeting you and your little miracle.

With love, Nella
