Our Mission

Our goal at Dahse Delights is to provide you with a positive experience while taking delightful memories for you to enjoy for years to come. How do we achieve this? By taking photos in my home, awarding you a comfortable 'home' experience.

Have you ever gone to one of the 'big box' stores for your family portrait? Even though you booked a time slot, you still had to wait in line for your turn. While your kids are getting bored, tired, and louse up their nice clothes. By the time it's your turn, your child is shy or maybe starts crying. People all around you are judging you, thinking, ‘can’t you control your child?’.

Or maybe you wanted to take portraits with a different outfit? Well, forget it. You don’t get many different backgrounds to choose from. A photographer that doesn’t care is only clicking the button. In the end, you get only a few poses because you are finished with the whole experience. Then someone else tries to sell you packages with images you don't need. Who really needs 16 wallets of the same pose? Touch-ups are not going to happen with big stores photos.

My studio experience is different

  • Sessions are taking in the comfort of my own home. No store distractions.

  • We book all sessions in two-hour blocks. If you need the whole two hours it’s all your time. It takes about 20 minutes to take great portraits with many different poses. But if you happen to have a picky child who does not like to smile. Then you will have allotted enough time to get a wonderful memory.

  • You get two hours for your session. We allow outfits to change(clothing only).

  • I have many years of child development experience. I will do my best to work with your picky child to get wonderful portraits.

  • We will never try to sell something you don’t want to purchase. We also give you the option of choosing up to 5 different poses. It does not take any longer to send in one pose as it does many poses.

  • We have 20+ backdrops to choose from. We also have many unique themes with props for examples:

    1. Seasons
    2. Back to school/Graduating
    3. Newborn & Maternity
    4. Wedding & Engagement

  • With many years of Photoshop and Web design experience. We can make your memories sparkle. Does your special guy like space? How about a picture with moon and stars behind him. Or would your little princess like fairy wings. We can transform her into a fairy trapped in a jar. We can make your photos look magical with different lights or glitter. We can also touch-up the photos to make you look wonderful. (additional fees for all extras).

  • We ship your photos to your home (additional fees). We provide photos right at your sessions (selected sizes only). All other prints are printed by a company we work with to provide admirable prints in gloss, metallic, or luster. We have several different mounting options to choose from as well.

Me

“When people ask me what equipment I use – I tell them my eyes.”

My interest in photography was awakened years ago when I took my first class the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 2016. For the class, I had to upgrade my camera to a DSLR. Since then, I have continued my journey in photography by learning how the camera's features can enhance my images, I've learned the value of purchasing quality lights & backgrounds, and I've experimented by taking as many pictures as I could.
