Testimonials
"Our family has been photographed twice now by Spotted D Photography. Once for my husband and I’s engagement photos, and the second time, our first family photos after welcoming our first baby. To say that Derian captured photographs that I will treasure forever is an understatement.
Derian’s personable, professional, and warm demeanor made us comfortable enough to be ourselves for photos that felt completely candid. It was encouraged to use settings and props that were sentimental to us, which brought the stories behind the photos to life. Her photo quality, efficiency, and professionalism were exceptional.
I cannot recommend Spotted D Photography enough, as I look forward to more special moments of my own family’s to be captured by her in the future."

Rachel Vollrath
"I have had two senior sessions with Spotted D Photography and I had so much fun both times! Derian had the best poses and always made me feel comfortable taking pictures! She guided me through making sure I was being myself, which I love!! The photos were my DREAM photos! They turned out amazing and obsessed is an understatement! I plan to do more sessions with her this spring and I definitely recommend Spotted D Photography to everyone!"

FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes - I do travel for photoshoots. Everything within a 40 mile radius of Sedalia is complimentary. Anything further there is a travel fee.
What should we wear for our session?
I am happy to help with colors and outfits - depending on location and time of year! We want to make sure you pop and look amazing!
How long does it take to get our photos?
Depending on what session you book it will take about 2-3 weeks to get your digital album back. With having two other jobs it does take a little of my time - but try to get them back even soon for you and your loved ones!
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! I have some packages with print included in them but if the package you selected doesn't have that option we can get one set up for you.
Recommendation for places?
I do offer a few different locations if you don't have any in mind. We can use the Ravenswood Mansion, pasture, cabin feel locations. We can gather what your style and feel are once connected.
