Preparing for Your Session

Good mood is the most important thing

Give yourself plenty of time to get ready so you're relaxed, wear comfortable clothes that suit the season, and be open to a little adventure outdoors. We'll talk through outfits and details beforehand so you arrive confident.

Connect

Tell us about your day or session. We'll talk vision, locations and timing — in person, by phone or over coffee.

Reserve

Once we've chosen a date and time, a deposit officially books your session or wedding.

Create

Deborah (and often Don) photographs every moment personally — guiding you gently, never stiffly.

Proof

Your edited images arrive in a private, password-protected online gallery for viewing and sharing.

Treasure

Heirloom albums, fine art prints, canvas and metal — all printed, mounted and framed in-house.

Studio or On Location

Let's plan your session.

Sessions are scheduled around your schedule — in our Bismarck studio or anywhere that feels like you.
