Deanna’s Bio

Creating is a way of life for me.  It is my favorite form of communication.  I love to tell stories through images and footage and movement. Everyone has a story worth telling if we are willing to listen. I not only listen with my ears, but also with my eyes. My goal is to tell the stories I see and feel. Sometimes those stories are of the people I meet, the environment we live in, the creatures we live with, and the society we sometimes struggle with.  All of these stories have a place in the world.

For 40 years I was a Visual Art and Dance high school educator. During that time I created a vibrant after school multi arts program and for the last five years designed and managed a school day multi arts academy. My students and I created performances and exhibits that combined movement, music, spoken word and photo and video projection. The collaborative nature of this work and of my classroom taught me time and time again that the results are stronger when we work together. It is why collaboration is still so important to me when working with clients. 

Besides private photo sessions with maternity clients, newborns, horses, and dancers, I am involved in…
