Niagara Photographer

I admit it ... I am a bad blogger. I met with potential clients tonight about a future wedding and I first, forgot to mention my blog but second realized that I hadn't posted here in a while.

Fall and Christmas sessions were very busy for me! As much as I enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season I do tend to get a tad overwhelmed trying to balance full time teaching, my family and my photography which I love soooo much.

If you are thinking about booking a session in the studio this winter please do not wait to book. If you are expecting, please contact me at the start of your third trimester if you are thinking about newborn photos. A newborn photo session is a great baby shower gift and I do have a great "BABY'S FIRST YEAR PACKAGE" at a great price. At this time I can only book up to two sessions per weekend and weekend appointments are booked at least a couple of weeks in advance.

I thought I would share a few photos I've taken lately ... enjoy!

Deanna Williams Photography Studio had many visitors a couple of weeks before Hallowe'en for our Second Annual Hallowe'en Photo Mini-Session. There was 3-4 setups here at the studio that day, both indoors and outdoors. It's my hope that one day I will have many more spaces to photograph around my yard outside. Here are a few of my favs ...




It has NOT been since September since I last blogged ... nope, that date on my last post has got to be wrong! I admit it! I am an awful blogger. I prefer to photograph rather than post to my blog but I have been wanting to share a few of my most favorite photos from my latest sessions. Today I am most proud that for the first time I had twins visit the studio! Twins! Beautiful, gorgeous cuddly twins. I tell ya, I was in my glory!



Christmas is approaching fast. I have a selection of Christmas props and some new props coming in any day now just for the season. New backdrops have arrived and I was excited to actually use them today with my twins!
There are three session types available for Christmas. The last session to guarantee Christmas delivery is Sunday, December 12th so don't hesitate to get into the studio. Limited weekend appointments are available and some evening appointments are available too!

and now ... some of my favs from the last month or so!

Niagara Engagement Photographer

It has been a busy weekend that's for sure but I absolutely love it and as I said to a good friend the other day, "I wouldn't have it any other way!"

Here are a few photos from our engagement session with Jayde and Curt.

Niagara Baby Photographer | Seth

Wow! I was so excited to try out some new props today that I've just acquired for the studio! New props and setups are always coming in so check back often!

Busy day today. One six month old and an engagement shoot, dinner with friends, editing early into the morning ... long day but awesome!

Where has the summer gone? | Niagara Region Photographer

Where has the summer gone?

As the summer winds down and everyone is preparing to go back to school I can't help but look back on what a wonderful summer we've had. My baby boy turned 5 in July. Wow! 5! Why does it have to pass by so quickly. I am thankful to have been busy with my photography over this summer but I just realized the other day that I STILL hadn't done Matty's 5th Birthday photos. You think that being a die hard photographer that you would have found the time to do this small task and so here's hoping that I get a chance to get out with my little man for a shoot before we both head back to school.

Had some great times up at the cottage this summer too! It's so relaxing and such a change of pace from home. I'm so very thankful for all that my mom and dad worked so hard to build for all of us to enjoy. I cherish our time together there.

As for the rest of the summer, it was filled with time spent with family and friends but my most cherished times are those that I spent with Matty.



Oh yeah ... and then there was just a little bit of photography going on too! Ha ha!

I'm just confirming a few more details about our FALL photoshoots and can you believe that clients are already inquiring about Christmas?!?!

Deanna Williams Photography Studio turns 1 year old in September. How quickly I've accumulated props, backdrops, camera equipment and experience too! Thank you to all my supportive clients. I hope to continue to offer fun, flexible, valuable and unique photography to the Niagara Region.

My mom always used to say that "Tomorrow is Another Day". I second that. Tomorrow I'm going to post my summer's best selection of photos but for now it's off to dreamland.

Niagara Newborn Baby Photographer | 3 Beautiful Babies

Wow! What a busy couple of weeks this has been! Matty turned 5 and we had two birthday parties for him. One was for family and the other, yes, wait for it - a school/daycare friend party! The kids were all great I have to say! We rented a bouncer from Anna's Inflatables. It was the hit of the party!


In the last little bit I've also photographed two beautiful weddings (blogger pics to come shortly). I've been too busy editing them! :)


And lastly I've had the opportunity to photograph three gorgeous babies! Newborn shoots take a long time but are so worth the investment (both in time and cost). You end up with these fabulous photos of your baby to cherish forever. They grow up and change soooooo quickly! Here is a look at some of the pics of the three babies I enjoyed photographing!

BABY CAITLYN

BABY RYLAN

Keep enjoying these summer days! It passes all too quickly!
