Sample redesign by WebologyWORX · Concept for Deborah Kates Fine Photography, not the official website
Seniors, newborns, families, boudoir, headshots and commercial work — in our studio or on location.


Deborah loves senior sessions — and limits how many she takes each year so every set of images is truly unique to the student. Studio, downtown, ranch, river or the ball field: locations and outfit changes are flexible.


Calm, unhurried studio sessions designed around baby's rhythm — feeding, soothing and cuddling breaks included. Sessions include image processing, an online gallery with downloads and two 11×14 fine art prints.


Relaxed sessions focused on the way your family actually interacts — laughter, snuggles and all. Choose a favorite park, your home or the studio. Maternity and mini sessions also available.


Elegant, empowering imagery created in a private studio — or outdoors, if you prefer. Deborah guides every pose so you can relax and enjoy the experience. A meaningful gift for a partner, or for yourself.


Polished, approachable headshots for professionals, realtors, executives, actors and entire teams — in studio or on location at your office.


Product, catalog and brand photography with the same lighting expertise that has appeared in national publications. In partnership with Don Kates' Shooters Images, specialists in automotive, motorcycle and product photography.
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.
Tell us about your day or session. We'll talk vision, locations and timing — in person, by phone or over coffee.
Once we've chosen a date and time, a deposit officially books your session or wedding.
Deborah (and often Don) photographs every moment personally — guiding you gently, never stiffly.
Your edited images arrive in a private, password-protected online gallery for viewing and sharing.
Heirloom albums, fine art prints, canvas and metal — all printed, mounted and framed in-house.
Sessions are scheduled around your schedule — in our Bismarck studio or anywhere that feels like you.
