Welcome,
I’m the face and heart behind the camera here at Deanna Addison Photography. For over 20 years, I’ve been right where you are—scrambling to get everyone dressed, keeping the peace, fixing hair last minute, and praying for smiles on picture day. So, because I’ve lived it all, I truly understand what families need.
My husband and I have been doing photos together for more than two decades, and as parents of two young men (once tiny toddlers, now 15 and 20!), I can promise you… I get it. In fact, I was you on picture day! That’s exactly why my mission is simple: to take the stress out of photos and turn them into something fun. This doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Instead, I’ll walk you through every step, offer wardrobe tips, wrangle the wild ones, and, most importantly, be your official hype-woman for the day.
My goal is more than just pretty pictures. Ultimately, it’s about building core memories with your people, capturing the laughter in the chaos, and freezing this wonderfully messy season of life before it changes again. Here, we celebrate the real, pause for calm moments, and create images that feel just like you.
So, take a deep breath—you’ve got this, and I’ve got you.
Photography isn’t just about images—it’s about the experience. I offer hands-on studio mentor training to help photographers sharpen skills, build confidence, and create sessions that feel effortless. Whether you’re just starting out or leveling up, you’ll leave with practical tools and fresh inspiration.
