Hi!

I'm Daphne

It's my passion to collaborate with you through a portrait experience to create stunning artwork together. Here at The Focused Lens, we start with the end result in mind. My goal is to tell the story of who you are in a creative and beautiful manner that becomes part of your legacy. Getting to know each of our guests helps determine the best way to showcase portraits for years to come. Wall art, custom albums, beautiful memory boxes, or stunning high glossy metal prints are just a few of the incredible options we have for preserving your memories. Your session is built around you and assuring the final images are preserved in a way that’s lasting. I deliver much more than just an email after your session with download links for your images and a "Thank you and good luck!" message. We really do celebrate the end by visualizing your artwork on the walls of your beautiful home.
