Deborah was wonderful to work with! She interacted very well with our two young children, was very patient with them and made them very comfortable during the shoot. This fact, combined with her beautiful use of natural light and colors, resulted in some lovely, loving photos of our family. I would recommend Deborah without hesitation to anyone looking for unique, natural family portraits.

“Although Deborah has a creative vision, and expertise in her technical craft, Deborah’s key to success is her affable personality that immediately connects with her subject. Deborah and her camera were nearly hidden in the tall grasses, perfectly suited to child photography, and creating natural, candid portraits. Our two year old granddaughter was her playful self. Deborah’s lens captured her spirited movement, and expressions of joy, surprise, mischievousness, sweetness – all in the same child, all in an afternoon. Deborah’s talent and archival fine art Iris prints created precious family treasures.”
Brenda M. Cunningham, Westford
"Deborah is a delight to work with. She brings a high degree of professionalism and talent to her work. Deborah quickly understood our goals and with patience and charm guided us in terms of choosing location, time of day, etc. She has an easy-going personality and keeps the shoot moving along while keeping its subjects loose and relaxed. The resulting portrait is a wonder, displaying her mastery of composition, color, and especially light."

“In today's business, a professional head shot is essential for everyone needing to make a strong impression in a 24X7 global social media environment. Within 30 days after posting my new photo on Linkedin, my page view count increased 300%.
Deborah Bain has the expertise, creative style and personality to make the experience both fun and produce exceptional results.”

What a pleasure it was to have you photograph my girls recently! Your warm and easy approach with the children was wonderful, and the natural surroundings just added to the beauty of the photographs. You have a keen eye for the naturalness and sparkle of children. Thanks for a lifetime of treasures.”
“We wanted a family portrait in an outdoor winter setting. Deborah understood exactly what we wanted and made all of the right decisions-changing the photo shoot a couple of times to make sure the setting was perfect. Her professional, relaxed manner put us at ease. We are thrilled with our portrait and impressed with Deborah’s skill as a photographer.”
“Deborah’s photographs are a work of art! Using her keen eye as well as her wonderful manner, she beautifully elicits the free spirit and complex emotions of children. Her ability to use the beauty of light and natural surroundings enhances the personality of her portraits. Deborah is very professional and great fun to work with. She puts people at ease immediately with her warmth and humor…”
“I dreaded having our family portrait taken because all I could envision was a contrived, staid, same ol’, blah portrait session. But now, I look back on our experience with Deborah and grin. Her vivacious personality made our photo session a pure joy. Deborah had us laughing and feeling completely at ease. It’s obvious she loves her job and can’t help but enjoy the experience with her. How refreshing! Thanks Deborah.”
“From the moment we met Deborah, her gentle manner set us at ease. When she shoots, Deborah appears to work effortlessly. As I selected poses and made decisions about prints, Deborah answered all my questions patiently. In addition, she made novel suggestions, all of which I accepted. Deborah has a gift for capturing natural light and for composition. What I most love are the accents of natural light highlighting her portraits. I am delighted with the results and recommend Deborah without reservation.”

“I have been meaning to say thank you for the very positive senior portrait photo session and all your time with Sam. I love to give feedback especially when it is so positive. Sam's response to my question about how he thought it went was "That was so fun!" He was glad I chose you, because it was so casual and he felt comfortable. You were terrific with him. You made it all about him and not about the photography and that was why he had so much fun. So, thank you. I believe our kids learn something new about themselves with each new experience and Sam learned he may want to be a model!!!! I think he was kidding but it speaks volumes about the fun he had and his confidence to see himself a little differently. Looking forward to seeing the results. I've got a feeling Sam will want quite a few poses.”
Warmly,
Debra Grad, Westford
“Deborah did a great job with our two kids. The photos were taken on a glorious fall day in an orchard in Westford and she used the surroundings to create a backdrop that was fabulous. The lighting and the colors are terrific. Her warm personality got both my kids to relax and forget the camera, so she captured some real special moments which show their warm smiles and fun nature, as well as their quieter, more contemplative sides.”
