Debora Spencer's career is her passion; she enjoys to be around people while creating. Her goal as photographer is to have people exposing their personality and uniqueness. She is excited knowing that she is capturing a moment of time that can be enjoyed and remembered forever. Her style isn't traditional photography. She likes her work to have a slightly edgy, fashion oriented feel. But the person she is photographing directly relates to the style and feel of the entire shoot. Art and photography are such a huge part of who she is that she doesn't even remember it not being a part of her life. Debora has worked in fashion for nine years and has art directed fashion shoots for Nordstrom, and Macy's. Her work has been in such magazines as Town & Country, WWD, Las Vegas Life, Washington CEO, Seattle Magazine, Seattle Home & Gardens. Clients have included President Barack Obama, President Jimmy Carter, Prince Andrew, Nordstrom Family, Pearl Jam, Seattle Sonics, Magic Johnson, Paul Rusesabagina, and portfolio shots for the models of major modeling agencies throughout the world.

Didi Miles, photographer, describes herself as crazy, zany, intense, and a work-a-holic. I am Natural Approach Photography. I adore that kissy spot on the back of a baby's neck, and baby feets, the smell of rain and freshly mowed grass. My mom's cinnoman rolls are the best in the whole wide world! My husband is the most amazing man on the planet- and my kids- rock my world and take my breath away....I absolutely adore them. My life is usually in super crazy over-drive- and I love it!!!! http://didi-mycrazycrazylife.blogspot.com/
