Documenting life’s stories, one moment at a time.

Making portraits in and around the Virginia Peninsula


Relaxed, honest senior portraits that are authentically you!

When inviting me to make your senior portraits, you can trust that the experience will be stress-free and enjoyable. You won't have to worry about awkward posing that doesn't feel like you. Instead, I will photograph you in a natural and authentic way that showcases your unique personality and story.

Your senior session will be a collaborative experience that celebrates you and your individuality. You are a work of art just the way you are, and I am excited to capture that for you. Let’s document you story!

 

THE PROCESS

 

The process is simple. We'll begin by connecting with each other and discussing your session - your vision, preferred location, and wardrobe. The end result will be a personalized photo session that reflects your personality, interests, and unique style.

Your photo session will be held at a location of your choosing and will last around 60-90 minutes. Sessions are typically scheduled for early morning or shortly before sunset. Our time together will be relaxed and enjoyable. There is no forced, stiff posing, just gentle guidance when needed, so that you can comfortably be yourself.

 

Your photographs will be ready approximately two weeks after your session. While I do offer digital files, I believe that printing your photos is an essential part of preserving your memories. From stunning wall art to custom-designed albums, I can help you choose the best way to display your photographs so that they become cherished heirlooms for years to come.

Now booking Class of 2023 and 2024.

 
 
 

KIND WORDS

 

“Deb is a wonderfully authentic human being and that shines through her photos. She will always make it her mission to make sure you are comfortable and able to express your truest self. Working with her is always a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable experience overall."

— Kallyn, Class of 2024

"Mrs. Deb helped pick out the prettiest locations for all my pictures and made it super fun for me. She let me send her outfit idea photos so she could provide thoughts and recommendations for color, etc. The process felt so natural and easy and the photos are amazing."

— Wyllo, Class of 2023

"With our son heading to college soon, Deb did his portraits as she had done our daughter’s. What is so special is that she lets their personality shine. I have a shy one and a very outgoing one…each photograph is a treasured memory that we will cherish for years to come."

— Lina, Mom

ABOUT ME

 
 

Hi — yes, that’s me in the pink sweater. Looking at my senior portrait with the dated hairstyle and forced pose makes me laugh today, but it also brings back a flood of special memories. Thankfully, senior photos today are much more authentic and creative than those from the '80s.

Your senior year is a remarkable time filled with friendships, newfound freedom, and big dreams. I’d love to get to know you and celebrate this important chapter of your life with a personalized photo session and photographs that you'll be so excited to share.

 
 

Let’s celebrate the awesome you that you are and document this chapter of your life with photographs you’ll love!
