About

Hello Friends!

My name is DeAnn Payne. My philosophy is that interacting with your loved ones is the purest way to have fun.

Other random facts about me: I love living in the mountains. I have sheep, chickens, dogs, three partially feral children and my husband, the love of my life. I try and focus on the good and beautiful.

I’m can’t wait to show you just how fun photo sessions can be!

What inspires me

The land! When I was little we went to my great grandpas ranch often and it had a huge impact on me. Being chased by geese, jumping of the barn into hay, picking cherries. It fed my imagination. 

Old timey/nostalgia  My favorite movie is “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”.  My husband and I quote it all the time! I am sentimental and old timey pulls at my heart and inspire me. The history and stories and I feel drawn to it all in a deep soulful way.

Music! I very much enjoy indie folk music! Some of my favorite bands are Civil Wars,  and the Sweeplings. I’m eclectic in my tastes though.  I attribute my eclecticness to spending tons of time while growing up in my uncle’s second hand store in Gallup. It was there I found many treasures in both old things and interesting people.

Oh the stories I could tell you!
