We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dee for our shoot at Hilton Farms LLC, and the results were nothing short of spectacular! Dee captured the venue in a way that truly showcases its charm. From the elegant indoor settings to the stunning outdoor landscapes, every detail was brought to life. The aerial shots were especially breathtaking, offering a unique and expansive view of the property that adds so much value to our presentation. Dee's professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail are unmatched. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their visual content.

My family booked Dee for family photos as a Christmas present for my in-laws. Dee was so easy to work with! My family all came in from out of town and she was communicative and adaptable through the process. We will definitely use Dee again for any family photos in Owensboro!
