About

Ever since my earliest of memories, while I was growing up in Scotland, I have enjoyed stories. Picture books, novels, poetry, movies, art, theatre, television. Every medium in which we can escape to a magical place, or look at something we enjoyed, over & over & over.

As an adult, my love of these things never changed. Only now, I can finally realize my dreams of TELLING those stories. As I work away in the stillness of the evening pursuing the literary fantasy I am passionate about, I get to spend the day working hard at building my photography business.

I have been dreaming about this for a while, as a single mother to two daughters, Lauren & Caitlin, 23 & 16. By the grace of God, 2013 brought a lot of changes to my life, most significantly starting my business and marrying the funny, sweet and good-hearted husband of mine, Aaron, and becoming stepmother to his daughter now 6-year-old daughter. Through my business, I have met so many wonderful people and families, and been part of so many special moments in the lives of my clients. It truly is a blessing, getting to do what I love and love what I do! In 2017 we made our way to Aaron's hometown of New Braunfels, in the Hill Country of Texas!

When not working on my business and spending time with friends and family, I am actively involved in my church. God is so important in my life, and in how I run my business. Truly I am so grateful for everything I have gone through to get to where I am today, and it is all because of Him. I love to give back, through photography, because of this, and often volunteer to photograph events and community happenings as a way to remain thankful.

Some of my most favourite things: My Scottish-ness! Heritage and culture are very important. I love being me! Cooking for my family, Coffee, diet coke and wine, my wonderful friends, cosy p.j's and blankets, autumn, twinkly lights, anything that sparkles, Red, boots, fun socks, reading, writing, bubble baths, chocolate and concerts.

Most Splendid Photographer Ever

Debbie is such a sweet caring soul that makes every photography experience a memorable one! My husband and I have worked with her several times and each time is a blessing. She captured our wedding beautifully and made our day even more special. Her work is always outstanding and she is great at communication.

My wedding pictures.

She's been a friend to my wife and I for quite a while, but don't think my opinion is biased. She's a mazing, punctual, and precise. You may think you know what pictures you want and she ends up taking even more great ones that you won't love without! 10 out of 10. If she's available, we're booking her, for almost any event.

She is fun to work with and is great at guiding everyone into place to get the best picture. Debbie is very prompt, professional and reliable. I’m so happy we had her there to capture our special day!

Best Photographer Ever!

I just want to start by saying Debbie is amazing! Wedding photography is the most important thing to have on your wedding day. We are still on cloud 9 from our wedding day a month ago! Each time i look back at the picture (pretty much every day); i feel like i am reliving our special day all over! Debbie was extremely professional and so easy to work with. I was a little concerned that i wouldn’t know how to pose or what looked the best i photos. I had no worries because Debbie guided every shot & i had no worries. Looking back at the photos, my husband and i joke about the shots thinking “Wow, how did Debbie get that shot? I didn’t even see here right there” lol! She was just the sweetest and my family loved her. We are extremely out going people and Debbie just fit right in with my family the day of our wedding. We also had videography through another vendor and Debbie was able to work well with them. Everyone thought they were a team! Words can’t even express how satisfied and happy we are with her work. We also received our photos back extremely fast! Debbie, we thank you for making our day even more special! We will never forget you!

The Amazing Debbie Laughlin

Debbie is amazing with her work. She has done many shoots for me and everytime she succeeds. She did my engagement shoot, and I am so so so excited for her to be my wedding photographer. Her turn around is very fast and is always available to contact. I wouldn't use any other photographer.

Debbie is amazing! She photographed my wedding on April 28th and my husband & I couldn’t be happier with her pictures!! They are stunning & I find myself looking at them over and over. Debbie was great to work with too! She communicated with me a few times before the wedding and met with us so that we could get to know each other beforehand and make sure she knew what we were wanting. On the day of the wedding she was professional and efficient yet still made picture taking fun! I highly recommend her!

Debbie is absolutely amazing! She came to Virginia for my wedding and I am so thankful she did. My photos are stunning and she is so kind. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease through the whole process. We were running behind with the ceremony but she utilized the short amount of time given and was able to finish all the photo’s needed. I highly recommend Debbie for any event!!!
