TESTIMONIALS

  • Kayla

    Deborah did my boudoir photos and let me just say, WOW. From the moment we started discussing the shoot, Deborah made me feel comfortable and really excited about the photo shoot. While shooting, I felt so confident and beautiful! Deborah put me at ease and really understood what I wanted out of this shoot. The pictures turned out AMAZING! Viewing the photos after the shoot was complete was such an awesome process. Deborah walked me through everything and helped me select the best of the best. I was so incredibly pleased with the whole process from start to finish. I would highly recommend using Deborah, she knows exactly what she is doing and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

  • Nikki

    I am expecting my fourth child and had never considered having maternity photos taken, until the opportunity to have Deborah Welsh capture maternity photos for my fourth (and final) pregnancy. I decided to give it a try and wow, I am so grateful I did!! My photos turned out absolutely stunning!! We took the photos in her studio, which is absolutely gorgeous with both indoor and outdoor settings and a range of diverse setups in each room to take a variety of stylish photos. She took her time to perfect the lighting with the photos and to capture the best angles suited to my figure. She made for a very comfortable, delightful and unforgettable experience and my only regret is having not had the chance to have her capture all of my previous pregnancies!! Highly recommend Deborah Welsh for your portraits - especially women!

  • Lauren

    I absolutely loved working with Debra! I did a boudoir photo shoot, something I've never had done before & Debra was a welcoming, compassionate ray of light for me. She made me feel at ease & it was a blast! I highly recommend her!

It all started with an idea. Too many women over 40 feel invisible.

I want to help change that and make a difference.

WHY OVER 40, WHY ME AND
WHY NOW?

Hi, I’m Deborah, a boudoir and portrait photographer based in Martinez, CA. I have been a professional photographer for over 30+ years and this is the most powerful Self-Love Experience I have worked on with clients to date.

I opened my boudoir photography studio in Martinez because I wanted to offer a safe space for all women, of all sizes, to feel comfortable and at ease. This is where the magic happens in creating beautiful images that are true to who YOU truly are, a confident and beautiful woman. I want to create something very special for all women to enjoy.

It will be fun, fulfilling and transformational. The REVOLUTION is within you . . . and I want to bring it out! Join me on a fun and incredible adventure. Remember . . . it’s all about you. I can’t wait to meet you!
