Hey,

I'm Deanna!


Before I ever got my first camera, it was dance that sparked a love for creativity and capturing emotion through art. As a dance teacher, I find beauty in movement and self-expression, and I want to bring these moments to life in another way. In 2012, I decided to take up photography – and DC Photo was born.


Today, I find creative inspiration in the outdoors and in the city I call home (Ottawa). My goal is not just to capture an image that looks good, but something that feels good too. I aim to shoot photos that look natural and feel like memories. My photography is warm and candid, so it’s important to me to feel a connection with the people I work with.


We’re likely a good match if you:

  • are looking for candid and emotive photos – not overly posed
  • value simplicity and natural light
  • enjoy having pictures taken in a relaxed environment
  • want to have fun!


Outside of photography, I live with my husband in Centretown and am a dance educator. I recently completed my Master of Education with UPEI.
