Celebrate Life! Is not just a motto we’ve had for decades, but an action I believe in. What do you want to celebrate? Whom do you want to celebrate and be grateful for? I am grateful for my husband, son, parents, pets, and friends! Photography helps us capture those people and moments. It is a privilege for me to participate in helping families keep those moments timeless.
I continued the legacy of VanDeusen Photography , opened in 1968 by Delorios VanDeusen, then my father, Paul F McMillian took over the business in 1978. In 2012, my vision was for intimate boutique photography business focusing on beautiful photography and wonderful customer service. I provides timeless family, children, baby, pet and HS senior portraiture, as well as personal branding and events photography. I can be commissioned for masterpiece paintings and copy & restoration work on old or damaged photos.
