About This Blog

Hi and welcome to my Donna Lou Photography Blog!!


I will be using this blog to give my clients a preview or “sneak peek” of some of the edited photos from their photo session. Also, from time to time I will be doing specials, like mini-sessions, or other fun things and I will post all the details here.



I would love to do a session for you, too! :)


I would love to hear your comments! So kick up your feet, get comfy and enjoy my images!
