Welcome

I am fascinated by light. The way it wraps around objects and leaves shadows in it's wake. The way it wraps around a person and makes them glow. The way it plays with color or creates a mood. If you ever meet me, chances are, we will talk about light.

My name is Deann Barrera and I'm a Southern California Lifestyle and Wedding Photographer located in the San Diego area, but available for travel world-wide. This is the place where I offer a peek into my newest client sessions and show the things that go on in my little corner of the world. When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy music, vintage cameras, and drinking really strong coffee.

If you like what you see here, head on over and check out my website. I look forward to meeting you soon!

E-session // Shaun + Shelly

*** Re-post ***

What’s the recipe for the perfect proposal?

Take one very excited, detail-oriented boyfriend,

Mix with one romantic weekend at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach,

Add one very unsuspecting girlfriend who just finished her first semester of nursing school,

Sprinkle with a moonlight walk down the beach,

Put everything together and shake well.

Garnish with a diamond ring!

Shaun spent months planning the entire weekend down to the very last detail and Shelly was none the wiser. The best part? He called me to be a part of his plan! While the proposal happened the night before, Saturday morning I drove up to Laguna Beach to meet with a very giddy Shaun & Shelly and celebrate their newly minted engagement with them! It was so much fun to be in on the surprise and spend the morning having breakfast and walking along the beach. I don’t think they envisioned the rock-climbing, hiking, and workout I put them through, but Shaun & Shelly were good sports and were up for anything…

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your fantastic weekend. I had so much fun and can’t wait hang out with you guys again!

And yet another teaser….

More from this girl in a few more days…

And now featuring 100% more Sahar!

My friend Sahar accompanied me on one of last weekend’s family sessions.  Having just picked up her first DSLR, she was eager to check out the behind-the-scenes-inside-scoop of a working photoshoot.  After making sure it was okay with the client, we approached the session as a team.  While Sahar appreciated the experience, I sure enjoyed the fact that I didn’t have to lug my heavy bag around by myself!

After the session, we played with various settings on her new camera and took a few shots of each other in the waning sunset light.
