Hey there!  I'm Deb Mitzel, a portrait photographer specializing in high school seniors.

I have always appreciated photography, and the way a photo can transport you back to a particular time and place.  Whether looking at photos of loved ones who have passed, babies who have grown up to be high school seniors, or seniors who are now getting married or having kids of their own, photos play a very important in our lives, and they help us tie together our life stories.  Without them, we may never get to see how much little Johnny looks like Great Grandpa John, or reminisce about that family trip to California in the back of the station wagon in the 70’s…and that is exactly what I LOVE about being a photographer!  I love being there to capture special moments in people’s lives, and to make photos that they will love right now, but even more importantly, to know that the photos I capture today will live on even after they are gone, telling the story of their lives to future generations. 

As a kid, I would often pull out the boxes of photos my mother had collected over the years.  Whether I was looking at photos of people I knew and events I remembered, or photos of people I had never met and places I had never been, they transported me into that time and place, and gave me a great appreciation for the power of the printed image.

Senior year is a pivotal time of life, and one that deserves to be documented.  That’s why I focus my photography on high school seniors.  Perhaps I’m reliving my youth, but there’s just something so exciting to me about this time in your life. For me, the fun part of being a photographer is getting to be the one to help you tell YOUR story.

As a senior photographer, my mission is to help you tell the story of your senior year, not just the day you chose for your senior photo session. 

If you'd like to learn more about how I can help tell YOUR story, please get in touch.  I'd love to chat! :)
