Testimonials

Deb is wonderful! I’ve never worked with a professional photographer in the studio before, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! Deb is amazingly talented and very welcoming. Needless to say that the photos turned out gorgeous!

— Arina N.
Finally found a photographer that gets it! I have booked two sessions with Deborah now and have enjoyed it for many reasons. She has a clean, inviting, and quiet professional studio space that is easily accessible. Deborah is friendly, approachable, and open to collaborating with your own ideas. She is a Mom, and it shows - she is excellent with small children! Our kids (4-4-3) have never taken as nice of photos for anyone else. I also love that her work is not overly edited or processed, images are crisp and faces are clear in natural colours. Her family portraits make for incredibles prints on feature walls too!
— Courtney S.
