Business Portraits with DeeLee

A marvelous Monday to you all!

Your visual image is an important doorway to market perception, as well as branding, in today’s fast paced business arena.  Corporate and executive portraits displayed on the internet and print portfolios, bios, business cards, etc… are your introduction to the world when a face-to-face meeting is not available.  Your photos must compliment and align with your “best-in-class” business.  The vision and/or niche of each business have their own unique look and feel and this persona should be portrayed in the photos. 


DeeLee Photography makes it a point to visit the business site or observe my clients at work on location to get to know what makes their hearts beat prior to scheduling a photo session.  If it is agreed that we have a mutual understanding of the vision and that I am the photographer for them, we envision the portrait scenes as a team.  The next step is to produce the right portraits for the right visual images.

ON LOCATION with DeeLee

On location photography sessions present a choice of unique character and natural backdrops.  There are wide array locations in Georgia, which include streams, waterfalls, rustic buildings, etc…  In my past sessions, my clients and I have found bridges, streams, covered bridges, and open fields to be especially ECLECTIC.    

The park shown in these photos is BEAUTIFUL and makes for a wonderful on location backdrop for a plethora of genres from business, model, entertainment portfolios to family, weddings, engagement, etc… photography sessions. Each photo session is rendered unique as we take on the individual personalities of each client as the creative catalyst. The idea is to create wonderful professional photos with a variety creative candid poses and lighting techniques, which ultimately deliver unforgettable moments which become a special part of your family legacy chronicles. I love testimonials received about how family and friends were delighted when viewing the end products.

I am truly honored when I am privileged enough to partner with clients to create such important and personal memories.  I always walk away feeling like I have yet another extended family and always look forward to the next session.

Happy Monday and My Very Best to You!

Welcome to my journey!

I LOVE BEING BEHIND the LENS!

I continue to learn helpful techniques and tips from colleagues (photographers, stylists, makeup artists, etc…) as well as from each of my clients.  As my vision evolves, I find my self leaning towards a more personal and journalistic style…art that touches hearts and uplifts the unsung heroes of the world.  

Whenever I am not busy with workshops or photo shoots, I attend public functions with camera in hand.  I am drawn to facial expressions and body language of loving and proud parents and their children.  I have taken hundreds of photos of children in parks, playgrounds, and other public places .

I have now developed a great passion for a family portraiture series, after an truly inspiring and fun afternoon of taking photos of a family member’s newborn and toddler…a whole new world opened up to me…a world in which I could create timeless visual memories…from the heart …for families…for their legacy of love and special moments.  The love is there already…my job is to capture the mood of a moment or simply to capture the beauty of God’s great creations.  

I still love all types of professional photography today and take every opportunity to hone my craft in all areas...Future posts will include open discussion of photography for infants, children, and families. I humbly invite you join in.

Until then, have a blessed day and happy photographing!
