I fell instantly in love with D’Ann’s portfolio of work, and knew right away that I wanted her to capture my baby’s newborn photos. What sets her further apart is all the extra intangibles that she brings to the table. There is something so precious, and the right moments are so fleeting in capturing those perfect first pictures of your baby. Working with D’Ann is to completely and effortlessly entrust her in this once in a lifetime opportunity. — Aenny
Prior to our photo shoot with D’Ann – the charming owner of Smitten & Swoon – I didn’t realize we would so thoroughly enjoy the experience of being photographed by her! When I made the appointment I was just thinking of the end product: the photos that would hang on our walls. However, being at D’Ann’s home was like a sanctuary for us, a much-needed break from our apartment and more urban Boulder living. And it was incredibly fun! Thank you for making the whole experience wonderful for my husband, newborn daughter, and me. — Jen
“I chose D’Ann for my last child’s senior photos after looking at a number of other photographers’ galleries. It was so obvious to me that she was passionate about what she does. She’s not just trying to make a living taking photos; she’s ensuring we have treasures for life. Her artistic ability is blatantly obvious. She captures emotion and personality in an elegant and soulful way. I was also so struck by her infant photos, I knew she was the right person for this pivotal time in my son’s life. D’Ann was so kind, professional, prompt and easy to work with, that once I contacted her, I knew I made the right decision. I am so glad I found her. It was a wonderful experience, and we have the most amazing keepsakes to show for it!” – Debra
“D’Ann and her team has been photographing our family for over three years. Smitten and Swoon artwork adorns our house, including the first days of our baby and now pictures of him as a pre-schooler. D’ann’s photo art products are sweet reminders capturing fleeting moments and we treasure them. D’Ann and her team are consummate professionals.” -Jean
“D’Ann is the best photographer! She has excellent taste so I always know our pics will turn out amazing! She is a great listener, enjoys trying new things or suggestions of poses we’ve seen and wanted to incorporate, cares deeply about what she does and the memories she is capturing for her families. I love, love, love her! Her studio is on a gorgeous piece of land that gives many different options of backdrops. She is so easy going and has such a great personality. We’ve done pregnancy pics, newborn pics, 3mo, and 6mo so far and have loved each session.” -Mary
“D’Ann of Smitten and Swoon Photography has been nothing short of amazing. We have had two sessions with her so far, when my daughter was 10 days old, and when she was 6 months. Both sessions felt completely unique and well suited to our style and ideas. D’Ann so easily made my daughter feel comfortable-she has a natural way of working with children, which is so apparent in her photographs. I was blown away when I saw the photos. They went above and beyond my expectations. It was so difficult to choose which were my favorites. I could have easily purchased all of them! The colors, the poses, the light; it all capture the beauty and innocence of my sweet daughter. I will undoubtedly continue to have session with D’Ann for both individual and family photo shoots. She is wonderful, so sweet, and fun to work with. And the photos-well, they speak for themselves!” -Jenny
“D’Ann has been taking photos of our family for years. Every shoot we’ve had with her has resulted in images that are exquisitely beautiful, natural looking and fresh. She’s not just a photographer, she’s an artist. You can see it in the way she poses tiny newborns into her handmade props and wildflower bouquets. The way she captures a child’s smile so precisely that you can almost hear the giggle behind it. Or the way she knows how to choose just the right cool urban backdrop or fairy tale field to bring out the confidence of a high school senior. As if all this wasn’t enough, her country studio is perhaps one of the most darling places you’ll ever visit. It’s so lovingly decorated and nestled between her family’s personal gardens and horse pastures. It’s quiet and serene and offers an intimate experience unlike any downtown studio.” -Channi
“D’Ann has an eye for photography unlike any other. From newborn pictures to senior pictures she captures the most amazing moments! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind photographer!” -Hope
“I loved everything about my pictures. D’ann is so warm and bright and amazing!!” -Caitlyn
“I couldn’t be happier with D’Ann and her work! I am so impressed with how efficiently our newborn photo shoot ran with 4 kids under the age of 5. She is truly a baby whisperer and was able to capture beautiful pictures of my newborn. The process of selecting our pictures afterwards was smooth and delightful and I was amazed when all of our items (including a large canvas) arrived in just a few weeks! The quality of her work is beyond words and we will definitely be returning to her!!” -Rachel
If you are looking for an out of the ordinary experience and photographs to last a lifetime, I cannot more highly recommend Smitten & Swoon. D’Ann’s technical and creative talents are outstanding (her use of lighting, coloring, landscape to accentuate a message) yet the way she captures the hearts of those she films, the way she attends to every detail of the experience and photograph, sets her apart from her peers. She worked to ensure we had success in every detail of the shoot by the time we got to the selection of pictures and products we were once again delighted with the care, quality and selection offered. From invitation design, to metallic based wall art to top of the line photo albums we were again blown away with the level of professionalism, quality and selection. The surprises keep coming. We selected pictures for products and D’Ann’s design team put together extraordinary books and invitations which they allowed time for us to edit, including adding inspirational quotes and leather binding to match our home decor. The prints were exquisite quality. There is not one detail left unturned. I cannot more highly recommend Smitten & Swoon!” -Kelly
“Our photo sessions with D’Ann are always a pleasure! She has taken our family’s photos for holiday cards the last 3 years and the entire process is fun and professional. The entire team at Smitten & Swoon is incredibly creative and a joy to work with. D’Ann has also photographed our 3 year old son for birthday invites each year. Somehow she manages to get a great smile from him each time (he can be a tough cookie) and he has so much fun. D’Ann is unbelievably talented! She has a very unique ability to make anyone feel at ease and then she captures the most natural and beautiful images. I always look forward to working with her and her team and would highly recommend them!” -Stephanie
