Deborah became my best friend throughout my wedding planning process. She's extremely personable and lovely. Her work is quality and reasonably affordable. You can trust her to help guide you and make recommendations for how to get the best photos. I absolutely would work with her again. If you have her as your boudoir shooter, be prepared to be blown away with how fun and easy going she is, and how confident and comfortable she makes you feel in her studio. Again her guidance during the shoot is really top notch, she knows what she's looking for and how to guide you to get there. Thanks Deb, truly!

We have not had a chance to look at the photos Deborah took for us yet but she did let us look at a few as we were taking them. They were beautiful! She made us feel special and fulfilled all our photo requests and more! She had ideas and was very accommodating. We loved working with her and felt like the only ones that mattered while she photographed us. Also, she doesn’t have a time limit per say. This sold me on her initially. We had the perfect amount of time to get all the photos we wanted and never felt rushed to finish.

Might I start by saying, Wow! Deborah’s the best ever! She made myself and my whole family feel comfortable and confident when doing our photo shoot. We literally left feeling like we made a lifelong friend. Aside from Deborah’s awesome personable skills, her options for poses and backgrounds felt timeless. All of my questions were answered so informatively and quickly. We really enjoyed working with her! Don’t look anywhere else! Can’t wait to work with her again! Thanks Deborah for everything you do!

Our family is so grateful to you for your kind demeanor with all our guests as you expertly guided us through meaningful photos in a variety of settings at our daughter’s wedding. You wore your smile for hours and hours and your enthusiasm and efforts were noticed by everyone. I knew you had to be tired when our daughter asked if you could take photos of the wedding party under the Christmas lights near the venue after our guests had left and the wedding was over. You responded, again, with let’s do it! You had to be tired after nine hours of continuous photography but you never showed it. We will always be using you in our future family events. May you continue to find joy in your talent as a photographer. The Harrison and Caldwell Families

Teri, I can't tell you what this review means to me. I honestly had the best time photographing the wedding and I feel that it was such an honor to be invited to capture these precious memories. Every detail, every smile, every emotion....such a joy to witness the love between Sarah and Austin. Thank you so much for the beautiful review and for choosing me to be their wedding photographer.

Deborah was incredible! I was scrambling for a photographer the week before my proposal to my girlfriend and Deborah responded before I woke up the next morning. We have only seen our one “sneak peek” photo so far but we have shown that picture to each of our family’s and friends and they all think it’s a beautiful picture. I fully expect the rest of her pictures to be just as good. She had us do a variety of poses and was very simple and clear with her instructions while she was getting us set up in those poses. Everything felt natural and not forced despite receiving instructions. It didn’t feel like a hassle at all to have her take pictures even though we had just gotten engaged and wanted to celebrate with family. She was very friendly and excited for our big moment, so it felt like we were celebrating with a friend instead of a photographer. I highly recommend Deborah for any of your photography needs, and I will gladly contact her again in the future if we need any other photos done!
