If you think our studio days are filled with calm, quiet elegance and perfectly timed shots… well, you’re half right. What you don’t see are the bloopers — the laughter, the funny moments, and the chaos that make every day at Debbie Leanne Portraits unforgettable.
Yes, there’s beautiful lighting, stunning portraits, and those tear-worthy reveal moments — but there’s also the chaos, the coffee spills, the tangled cords, and a whole lot of laughter. At Debbie Leanne Portraits, we’ve learned that the real magic happens between the clicks of the camera… and sometimes that includes tripping over light stands.
The Truth About Studio Life
Behind every breathtaking portrait, there’s a photographer trying to balance on a stool, a fan that won’t cooperate, and someone (usually us) talking to equipment like it can hear. 
We’ve had props that suddenly decide to roll away, playlists that take “shuffle” a little too seriously, memory cards decide to quit at the worst possible moment, and one very determined studio pup who insists on “helping” during editing. These are the moments that remind us — even professionals have outtakes!
The Laughs That Keep Us Going
When you work in a creative space, you quickly learn that laughter is the best tool in the studio. Whether it’s a hair flip gone rogue, someone walking into the frame mid-pose, or our team breaking into spontaneous dance moves to keep the energy high — it’s those little moments that keep everything light and joyful.
And honestly? They’re what make our team feel like family.
Perfection Isn’t the Goal — Joy Is
We spend so much time creating beautiful, timeless portraits for our clients, but the truth is… we love the imperfect moments just as much. They’re the proof that we love what we do — and we have a blast doing it.
Because at the end of the day, photography is about connection — between our clients, our team, and all the laughter that happens in between.
Why We Keep the Bloopers
We may not post them all (some are way too funny to explain), but we keep those behind-the-scenes memories close. They remind us that our work is full of life, joy, and a little bit of chaos — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
