Hello There! I have always had a creative side, for as long as I can remember. I am fortunate to have been able to turn my passions into a business. For many years, I was a Salon Owner, spending countless hours helping people feel good about themselves. One of my favorite events was an annual hairstyling cut and color makeover competition. I sent in an entry every year, and placed third nationally on one occasion. The best part of that job was seeing the looks on people’s faces once I had “revealed” their new look. With careful makeup and hairstyling, the proper choice of colors, I had the unique opportunity to transform people in such a way that they see how truly beautiful they are. I believe that everyone is beautiful, no matter their size or shape. Sometimes, we just need a little support and encouragement to see it. Now that I am able to incorporate photography into my work, I am able to provide another avenue to showcase the beauty I see around me every day, to capture people as they are, in the moment, in their life. Hopefully, I can do this for you. I can’t wait to meet you! Deanna
