An excellent priced photographer! We used her for 4 separate families and then a group photo with lots of young... children. She is engaging and the kids responded very well. She was quick in her work ( less than an hour for ALL of us). She also has lots of tricks to keep everyone relaxed and naturally smile. None of our photos look staged. She moved us between 3 close proximity, natural forest/ocean areas with a keen eye for the natural environments and sun location! I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Nanaimo to Qualicum area!read more

Friends, I must share my experience with an outstanding business here!! I reached out to Devee Photography for a... personal project and not only did I get incredibly fast response time, she fit me in in a short time-frame. This worked out great for me! Deanna was very responsive to my messages and inquiry. Is there anything better than someone who LOVES what they do? I not only had a ton of fun getting my headshots, but I could tell that Deanna was completely in her niche! I felt comfortable, she gave great direction and I felt confident that I would get the images I desired. And no surprise, I did. Again, Deanna was very quick to get the photos to me. I had a hard time choosing because she made me look amazing in all of them! I would 110% recommend Devee Photography (and already have) for a fun yet professional experience. Thank you!read more

D is amazing very friendly asked alot of questions to get to know both of us and learn about our relationship. She... worked well with our ideas and put her own spin on some of the ideas to make the photos special to us. Unique eye. Very well priced for all the detail and hours she spent with us. Love the photo book at the end with all our favourite photos. Very friendly but also was like she wasnt even there taking photos, it was like she became part of the scenery to capture special hidden moments. No forced poses or faces. Will use D for all special monumental moments throughout our lives that we want documented.read more

My family hired Deanna to do our family photo shoot this year, after seeing the amazing wedding photos she did for Erin... and Jake. The weather turned out to be completely uncooperative, with gale force winds and rain on the day that we had chosen. We’d hoped to have them taken in places around our 5-acre property, but it wasn’t to be. :( And, since the day we chose lined up with when we could have everyone (kids and grandparents) at our home, the photo shoot had to go ahead with the pictures taken inside. I was pretty disappointed when we couldn’t have the photos taken outside as I was worried they might be boring or too staged looking, but it turned out not to be the case as they turned out AMAZING!! In fact, for this year’s Christmas card, it will be hard to select our photo of choice! :) Deanna was unbelievably professional, patient, and paid attention to every detail. She spent time ahead of the day, memorizing all of our names (include the dog’s) and went out of her way to ensure our photos reflected who we are as a family. And though the photos taken inside our home turned out fantastic, she offered to make a separate trip for a 2nd shoot, at no extra charge, the next day (when the weather was predicted to be much nicer). Unfortunately, the grandparents couldn’t be here on the second day, but the pictures of us and our children (and of our family dog, Ella) turned out incredible!! Oh, and last, but not least, we received a link to the final proofs from Deanna, in less than the 3 weeks she’d promised. Nice! I would not hesitate to recommend Deanna and look forward to her returning for our next family photo shoot in a year or two’s time. She is one talented gal!read more

Deanna is amazing!! She took so much care in finding the right lighting. I wanted it to be near the ocean and she... picked a fantastic location to take the photos. The type of photoshoot was new for both of us but she helped coach me throughout the shoot. The theme was "love yourself exactly as you are". She asked me to hug myself for a pose and it turned out to be my favourite shot, with a big smile on my face. She helped make me feel comfortable in a situation that was very new to me. Can't wait to work with you again xoread more

Dee is AMAZING. I was so concerned about getting our wedding photos done simply because I've see so many wedding photos... that are beautiful and I thought to myself how is it possible for me and my husband to look that good? Let me tell you, it's possible. Dee made it easy to just be ourselves which showed through on camera. I have our engagement and ultimately our wedding photos throughout our house. She has a way of capturing the beauty of the island along while making the bride and groom (or whoever she's shooting) the focus of the shot. Trust me, you will not be disappointed! Thanks for everything Dee!! :)read more
