Celebrate Children & Babies


Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change, and Lori specializes in capturing these special moments. She takes the time to find the perfect location for each session, and encourages each child to play and be themselves while she captures the magic of their childhood. Infant and baby photography is particularly special, as this is a time in a child's life that will never be repeated. The little details, such as tiny fingers and toes, are so precious and will soon be gone, making photographs a timeless way to remember this fleeting time in their life.

In addition to capturing those special moments, VanDeusen Photography also offers the Watch-Me-Grow package, which is designed to document your child's growth and development throughout the years. This is a wonderful way to keep track of your child's milestones and create a comprehensive record of their childhood. So, if you're looking for a way to celebrate your child's milestones and preserve the memories of their childhood, VanDeusen Photography is here to help!

"Watch me grow, from a baby so small,
To a child with laughter, standing tall.
Time flies by, with each passing day,
As I learn and grow in my own unique way.
So hold me tight, and never let go,
And watch me grow, from head to toe.
Memories we'll make, of this special time,
Forever in our hearts, forever to shine."

Testimonials

Karen B.

We consider our annual VanDeusen Photography photographs of our children an investment in a work of art. We feel we are supporting a local artist for our community and a small-business for the economy. The quality and personal relationship we have with Lori and the studio is fantastic!
