Give Deja a call today to schedule a complimentary consultation for a portrait session. You can reach her at 360 385-2662.
"Being in front of a camera is not easy. Putting a client at ease, having fun & enjoying the session is all part of the experience I offer at Deja View Photography. Often as we get older we can feel uncomfortable, even unworthy of having our photo taken. I'm sensitive to meeting those concerns & use flattering posing & soft constant lighting in my studio. All purchased images are edited & enhanced with software that smooths & removes imperfections. With every archival print purchased a digital file is included to use on social media." --Deja Webster
