Testimonial


"We absolutely loved our experience

with VanDeusen Photography. Lori was very accommodating, positive and I could tell she really enjoys doing her craft. She photographed our dogs and was extremely patient. She knew it would take a few minutes for both dogs to feel at ease. In the end I had an extremely difficult time choosing a photo that I ended up getting a book. She captured both dogs so well and can see their personality in each of the pictures. We will definitely use her again. I will recommend her to everyone!"

-Elizabeth, Rosie & Waffle's Mom
