About Deborah


I am so blessed to be doing what I love - capturing smiles, tears, giggles and all those special looks that make your family unique.

As the mother of two grown children, I am very aware of how fast time passes and how quickly my babies changed right before my eyes. I am grateful my passion for photography provided me with cherished images - my daughter's beautiful red curls, my son's precious freckles and all the pictures I have showing the essence of their childhood.

Whether it is pictures of your pregnancy, your baby, your children, your senior or your entire family, every portrait is a captured moment in time.

A portrait should tug at your heart-

make you laugh, make you cry,

take you back to those precious times,

to remember when...

Session Details


As an on location and studio photographer, I offer relaxed sittings in your home, your favorite park or play area, my studio, or will be happy to suggest alternative picturesque areas.

I absolutely love what I do - capturing precious moments with your family. My style has been described as relaxed, fun and candid. I want you to have as much fun as I am having; so laugh...hug...whisper...giggle...relax. And don't worry, even the unplanned tears make for adorable and realistic portraits!

Sessions will last an average of 1-2 hours. You know your family and when they are at their best. Please schedule your session for those times when your family will be well-rested and fed. For outdoor sessions, morning and early evening will provide the most beautiful light for your portraits. 

Clothing

Infants and Children photograph best in simple clothing. Pastels and whites are always beautiful and classic for any age group, while older children also look adorable in bright and colorful clothes, hats and jackets. Please keep patterns to a minimum as well as logos and brand names. I create portraits that reflect your true child, so bring that tutu, cowboy hat, tiara...whatever will bring a smile remembering those special phases of your child's life.

Pre-teens and Teens love to express their unique personality through their portraits. If they have hobbies or outdoor activities they participate in, feel free to bring props or equipment that will reflect who they are. Again, simple clothing photographs best. For outdoor portraits, earth tones are always a great choice.

For Families and Group Portraits of 2 or more people, it is important that clothing type and colors be coordinated. Long sleeves and like-solid colored clothing make for the most beautiful portraits. Classic clothing choices include: white tops, shirts or sweaters with khaki pants & skirts; black tops, shirts or sweaters with blue jeans; and coordinated earth tone shirts or sweaters with jeans.
