Meet Deanna

Your storyteller, memory-maker, and biggest fan behind the camera.

I'm based in Newport News, Virginia. Serving Hampton Roads and beyond.  

Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and in 2024, I followed my heart and made it official. Since then, it’s been the greatest joy turning life’s fleeting moments into lasting memories for families just like yours.

I offer a little bit of everything because life is made up of so many beautiful seasons and I love capturing them all. From sweet, posed portraits to heartfelt lifestyle moments. Im here for all the moments and memories!  Oh, and don’t even get me started on styled interactive mini sessions , they’re totally my jam!

I'm all about the real, the raw, and the beautifully imperfect, those tiny in-between moments that often mean the most. I aim to create a relaxed and fun experience that lets your true self shine through. You’ll find I’m super easygoing, a little silly (especially with the littles!), and always tuned in to what makes you feel most comfortable.

We all have little things we’re self-conscious about, and I get that. So if you have a favorite side, a pose you love (or one you don’t!), or anything you want me to know,  I’m all ears. My mission is to help you feel confident, beautiful, and truly seen.

When you inquire, feel free to share all the details no such thing as too much! Let me know who's joining the session, what kind of vibe you’re dreaming of, color palettes, inspiration photos… anything that helps bring your vision to life. And if kids are involved, I’d love to know what makes them smile, laugh, and feel at ease. The more I know, the more magic we can make together.

From the first message to the final gallery, I’m here for you every step of the way. Let’s create something meaningful, beautiful, and uniquely you.
