RAMONA, CA PHOTOGRAPHY

Twins are so special! I am always honored to photograph twins. The Romine twins are identical, and oh so adorable. During their session, I took lots of photos of them together, but I also did each pose for each newborn so that each image can be displayed side by side. I also had the honor of photographing their older brother as well. You can see his recap here. I've always been fascinated by twins. As a photographer, I realize that they may take longer and may be more di

A studio newborn session with me consists of family portraits, siblings, and solo newborn portraits. The resulting photos are classic portraits that are timeless. My goal is to capture your new family in a way that shows your love. Believe it or not, these portraits will become more of a treasure as time flies by. Your baby will grow so fast in the first year, and you'll look back at these newborn photos and you won't believe how small your child was. I am so honored to ha

Usually, about a month before Valentine's Day, I offer Kid's Valentine's Sessions. This is one of my favorite sessions of the year. The kids are adorable, and the cards that result from these sessions make the perfect little Valentine. This year is a bit different, and private sessions are needed in order to allow cleaning between sessions. Space is limited! If you're in San Diego, I'd be happy to help you. I'm in Ramona, a gorgeous little farm town tucked away in the mo

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ramona is one of the most gorgeous places on earth. Every nook and cranny is filled with natural wonder. 3 Hills Winery and Mount Woodson Castle are perfect examples of the country charm that is Ramona. The Thomsen family owns Thomsen Learning Center (TLC) and has a long history of Ramona lineage. I've been told that they were one of the first families to settle in Ramona and from speaking with them, it's obvious how proud they ar

A green couch session is a fun way to get photos that are Christmas card ready! The sessions are rather short, and produce very pretty portraits. The Pierrons have entrusted me with their holiday cheer for many years and I am grateful each time I see them. Watching their little family grow is a joy! I love working with them to create their Christmas cards. We customized their card to make sure there was enough room on the back for all their favorite photos to be displayed

The Hart Family wanted family portraits as a part of their goodbye. He's leaving his girls to deploy for our country.

The 4th of July is the perfect theme for a family portrait session, don't you think?! The DeYoung family wanted to show their patriotism during their family portrait session. Karen did so by styling her family in Americana attire reminiscent of Tommy Hilfiger or American Eagle Outfitters. She tastefully pulled from the colors of the American flag. I think the spirit of America came through in their portrait session. They chose the Iron Mountain trail head as their family

Facebook and Instagram are a fun way to keep up-to-date on all the beautiful portraits, but they are not a reliable source of information due to computerized algorithms that moderate your viewing on these two social media platforms. How can you get the information on portrait events and discounts if you don't see them? Thankfully, we have a few ways to keep in touch Memories by Deanna VIP: You can join my private Facebook group, which is an exclusive group of local fans. I

One of my favorite kid's themed portrait sessions of the year are the Valentine's Day portraits. They are full of cheer and vibrant colors.

A recap of a family of four portrait session that took place at the William Heise Park in Julian, CA.

Where do you envision your next portrait session? In Ramona, we have natural beauty surrounding us. Why not have your portrait taken in your own back yard? That's what the Ilic family chose to do. Their yard is filled with lots of interesting scenery. We used an old log as a seating area for their portraits. There was also a bench tucked under a tree and the wispy branches framed them beautifully. The resulting portraits on the bench are some of my favorites! There was

2020 is right around the corner, and there is no better time to book a family portrait session.

Your child's first birthday is so special, and deserves to be commemorated! Let's celebrate with a Cake Smash. What is a Cake Smash? Basically, about 3 weeks before your child's first birthday, we will throw a little party in my studio with the same theme as their party. You can opt to bring a cake and balloons, and we will let your child have a blast making a mess. What is included? You will get one hour of photography time with me. The photo session is geared towards g
