So! The other day I was live on Instagram for the FIRST TIME. EKKKK. I was nervous but I knew it was important to pop on to talk about our Mother’s Day Gift Certificate. Here is a little recap if you missed it or you couldn’t hear me (yikes, tech issues). This is for the […]

Over the summer, I realized it was time. It was time to start taking myself seriously and treat DeaLea Photography the way it deserved to be treated! Let me back this up a little bit and talk about why I needed a change. Katya (my wife) and I bought a house a few years ago […]

This family did not let the rain stop them for their portrait session! Hooray!!! Bobby, Lauren and their little love decided on Botanical Gardens for their session due to the rain.
