Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I'm Deanna.

I'm a Syracuse area photographer specializing in High School Senior Photography, Fine Art Dance Portraits, and Family Photography. I live locally with my husband and two children, where you can find me chasing after them with a camera in hand! Before pursuing photography, I was a 4th grade classroom teacher and dance instructor. I have had a deep rooted love for photography since childhood. In recent years, I have spent countless hours in numerous professional development courses, online workshops, and traveling to intensive photography retreats to hone my skills to capture the best moments of my clients’ lives. Taking pictures has been a passion of mine and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to document this important milestone for you!

FAQs

How do I book my session?

Click the “Book Now" link at the top of this page and you’ll be directed to a booking page.

What should I bring to my session?

This session is about you! My goal is to capture your personality and dance ability during our time together. You should bring costumes, dance clothes, tights, dance shoes and any make-up you might want for last minute touch ups. Please bring a parent/guardian/friend to the session with you to help with holding all of your outfits and accessories. We will have music playing while we take pictures and you can bring your favorite playlist to help you feel relaxed and comfortable.

How should I do my hair and makeup?

You should have your hair and makeup done when you arrive to your session. You can check with your dance teacher how they will have you do your hair for the recital, or you can choose your own style for the pictures. Having your hair slicked back allows us to see your face and costume clearly - one tip is to keep your makeup more of a matte finish for photos, shiny makeup catches the light.

How long does it take to get my photos?

You can expect your completed images to be ready for viewing within 2 to 4 weeks of your session date. You will receive a gallery link that will allow you to choose your photo packages for the images we create.

When will my products arrive?

You can expect your products to arrive about 2-3 weeks after ordering them.

Can we do a group picture with our dance class?

Yes! Use the “Book Now” link to reserve a spot for your class, and coordinate a time that works for everyone!
