I wanted to thank you for capturing our daughter so wonderfully at this signicant moment in life. We'll treasure the images for a great long while - remembering her entry into the world.

We're very happy and have gotten rave reviews from family as well!



WOW WOW WOW, Debra you are an excellent photographer. We love the photos. (They made Dave a bit teary eyed!)



Deb, I can't thank you enough, it is so rare that you get a chance to capture a normal day in such a timeless way. All of our photographs are snapshots of "special" occasions but as Mies Van Der Rohe said, "God is in the details" and the most special things are not when we put our faces on to go out, but at home, hanging out.



The visual and graphic arts are very important to us, so when thinking about photographs for our wedding, we needed someone who could work beyond the typical posed pictures, and find the candid shots and hidden moments between guests at our event. Deb excels at seeing the subtle and emotional moments that pass between people and environments, and delivered exactly the artistic vision we were looking for. She got so many shots we never even realized she caught, and made sure to pay special attention to the setting and small details that we had so carefully thought out. We can highly recommend her as a wedding photographer, most especially if you require a more creative take than the typical, and are happy to share our wedding photos or provide a recommendation. Additionally, we've since purchased two of Debra's art shots as gifts for others... (of course, one I loved so much I couldn't give away...)



Debra has such a natural instinct for light and contrast. Shooting with her is so easy and enjoyable because she allows you to be yourself and produces pictures that really reflect her subject's individuality and inner beauty.



I was again in awe of the special photo you took of my grandmother and me, which brought happy tears to my eyes.



First of all Debra so many thanks for the wonderful photo selection, the lovely album. I keep looking again and again at this great selection.



Deb: You are the photo Meister!!! We never looked that good in real life. Amazing pictures.
I particularly love the one of my Grandma.



Debra was a joy to work with. She helped me to relax while keeping the energy level focused on creating top quality photos. She both evoked and captured different parts of my personality with her keen eye. Her expertise led to the best headshots that I've taken.
