10/10 recommendation
I’ve known Debbie for a very long time.
She has done a couple sessions for me and words cannot describe just how wonderful and talented this woman truly is. If you’re anything like me, and get camera shy, she will ensure that you feel comfortable and has a way of getting you to let loose by being sweet, fun, and personable. If you’re looking for someone who takes the most beautiful photo’s and have a blast while doing it, this is your girl.
Phenomenal photographer and person!
Birth photography
Debbie was amazing during my birth! While it was many years ago, they are still pictures that help revive a memory I never want to forget. Her work is amazing 🩷
Feels like family
Debbie has done many photo sessions for my family, from family, gender reveals, maternity, to the birth of my last baby. She fully engages in any session she is presented with. She got my very stiff husband to spin me around and engage with our kids to create beautiful memories. After sitting with me for days waiting for the arrival of my daughter, she even cut my daughter’s cord and then was given a mini session from the nurses on my placenta and completely fan girled over it.
If she was still near me I would’ve hired her for my surrogacy journey
Breathtaking work with a warm soul
I worked alongside Debbie for one shoot, and that was enough to truly show me how incredible she is. She has a natural eye for flow inside of her work, she knows how to effortlessly work with her clients and capture the raw emotion of whatever she’s capturing. Learning from her has been an honor and I can’t think of anyone I admire more as a photographer and how she highlights every stage of her clients life.
Birth Photography
I have known Debbie going on 6 years!!
I had the honor to be one of the first I believe birth session for her business!! We lived across the street from each other in Hawaii and I fell in love with her photography from the moment I saw it. She has such an elegance to her photography!! She was extremely flexible with being able to make it to my spontaneous, fast birth of my oldest baby! She captured such pure moments for me during that chaotic, beautiful moment in my life! She was patient, kind, and has an eye for the tiny details!! I cherish all the moments she has capture in my life as a mom! Her photography speaks for itself, it’s absolutely stunning!!! I wish I lived closer to get all my moments in my life captured by her!! You will never be disappointed in her work and who she is as a person!! ♥️
This is going to be a long review!
I originally use a different photographer, but was quoted over $500 for 1 hour of camera time and so many edited images.. so, I contacted Debbie about a week before I wanted to take maternity pictures because I simply kept putting it off and have not felt very beautiful this pregnancy and absolutely could not justify spending $500 on pictures that I usually am not super wowed over. After telling me her amazing prices and what the package includes, She went over dates with me and we booked it- signed the forms. Throughout the week she sent me inspiration photos and asked me questions about how I wanted the session to go! I told her exactly what bothers me in a lot of pictures I take (my ears showing, double chin, etc) and told her to not be afraid of letting me know so I can fix it. Which is very rare because most photographers just have their style and poses and that’s it. During the session she made me completely comfortable. She had me laughing and smiling. She would give me tips on how to put my leg, position my leg etc. she captured the photos a few different times to make sure she got the absolute best shot. She gave us quite a few poses to work with and even asked if we wanted to do more! It was a little cold so we called it quits! But I felt confident that she got what she needed. That night she sent me 3 sneak peaks and I swear I almost hit the floor!! I could not believe how amazing the 3 sneak peaks came out, I was actually crying. I usually hate photos of me but I was in absolute awe, and it was the first three pictures already. I told her something I did not like in the picture regarding my dress and she said she was going to work on it to improve the picture, again which is rare for a photographer because once they’re done editing they’re done with your session. I’m still in disbelief that she captured me perfectly to the way I love it.
You can tell this is more than her trying to make money, but that she really loves and cares about the art of photography. She cares so deeply about her client and their wishes that she actually brings their dreams to life. I am such a hard person to please, especially with pictures and I am just floored- actually speechless.
Debbie thank you so incredibly much. I am seriously so thankful for you and your eye for the camera and for actually listening to my wishes! You made me feel beautiful, more than what I have ever felt before!
