Hi, I’m Debbie—named after "Devorah," meaning "bee" in Hebrew. Like the bee, I’m driven by a strong sense of purpose, always working hard and staying focused on what matters. I’m headstrong and bold, never backing down from a challenge, but I’m also deeply compassionate, always there to support those around me. Whether it’s helping others or tackling a new adventure, I bring energy and determination to everything I do.
I love sunrises, sunsets, and the calming sound of waves while sitting on the beach for hours. Traveling to new places is a constant source of inspiration for me, and I’m always ready to explore what’s next. I’m married to a retired Navy corpsman, and together we have three big, lively boys who keep life full of excitement, along with our two dogs, the true babies of the family.
I’m a fan of murder mysteries, sci-fi, Gilmore Girls, and true crime podcasts with Bailey Sarian. With a close-knit, wild family and scattered friends who always make time to reconnect, I value relationships deeply. Just like the bee, I approach life with resilience, purpose, and a bold spirit—qualities I carry into my photography, capturing real moments full of soul and connection.
When it comes to crafting your own unique wedding experience, the possibilities are endless. You might even be feeling a bit overwhelmed with so many options, but don't be. I'm so thrilled to work with couples like you who are determined to put your own spin on your wedding day without compromising aesthetics and emotion. I can’t wait to work with you.
speaks to your soul
I believe in capturing real moments over staged poses, ensuring your experience is filled with laughter, vulnerability, and intentional memories. My approach is centered around genuine connections and authentic interactions. I strive to create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves, letting your natural emotions and personalities shine through. This philosophy not only results in beautiful, timeless photographs but also makes the entire process enjoyable and meaningful. Whether it's the joy of a wedding day, the intimacy of an elopement, or the warmth of a family session, I aim to document your story in a way that truly reflects who you are.
“Debbie was something else! Going into our elopement, we didn’t really know what we wanted. We just knew we wanted to get married. She helped us enjoy the planning process and made everything so easy. If you want to fall in love with your photos, have no stress on your special day, be truly present in the moment, and feel comfortable in front of the camera, then Debbie is your person.”
Working with Debbie felt more like spending time with an old friend who just happens to have a camera. My husband and I did a beach shoot with her, and from the very start, she made us feel relaxed and comfortable. It was like being on a fun date—with a professional third wheel, of course! As a photographer myself, I know how tricky it can be to capture natural moments, but Debbie nailed it. The photos are incredible—gorgeous, full of life, and perfectly us. I can’t recommend her enough!
