Business description (provided by the business owner):

Denney Photograpy is a portrait studio owned by Amy Denney. Formerly a journalist, Amy began operating her home-based studio in March 2007. While she specializes in children, Amy also photographs seniors, families, pets, anniversary parties and more. She is also available for commercial work. See the Web site at www.denneyphotography.com for samples of her work. You can also check out her blog at www.denneyphotography.blogspot.com for the latest studio news.

Denney Photography can also come to your home! Amy offers portrait parties, a great and fun way to earn free products. Hosts invite friends and families for photos, with no sitting fees or obligation to buy. But the more money spent, the more the host earns for her own family photos. There's also a special thank-you book for the host, not to mention the fantastic time had by all. Call for more information!

Another way to bring the studio to your home is for a young child's dress up photo birthday party. I bring a chest of clothes and take individual and group photos of the children in a studio setting. This requires a 10x10 room or space in your home for setup. Three packages are available.

Denney Photography is also THE place to go if you're looking for a large-size wall portrait to deocorate your home or beautiful custom-made composites as gifts. Best of all, prices are competitve and the quality of Denney Photography's lab is among the best in the industry.

Amy does beautiful work! She is wonderful with kids and really has an eye for capturing their true "self" on film.

Denney Photography did an awesome job with my son's senior pictures! He wanted his picture taken "on location" in downtown Springfield and he wanted to involve some of his closest friends.

First, she took several shots of my son in and around the park at the old train station, then they met up with his friends and went to a parking lot on top of the Center for the Arts and took lots of great group photos with the capital in the background! They turned out to be a BIG hit with my son and all of his buds! I purchased a large composite picture that had several of my favorite shots in it, a "coffee table book" with all of our favorites, thinking that his friends could sign it at his graduation party, and lots of other single poses for family and friends. She even helped me to pick out the perfect frames! I couldn't have been more pleased with her work. Everything was handled very professionally and I can tell that she is very passionate about her work.

Since that time, I have seen quite a bit of Amy's work and I think she is extremely talented. Her pictures are very artistic and expressive. I will definitely go to her any time I need pictures taken, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for that extra special treatment - you will definitely get it!

Thanks Amy Denney - you're fabulous!!

Amy has taken several photos of my daughter and she's always done a great job! She also did my daughter's 5th birthday party. Even with 17 kids, she handled everything like a pro!

Amy has an amazing eye and really knows how to capture the personality of a child. She makes it so easy to order prints online and the quality of the prints is top notch.

We had our family portrait taken this fall with Amy. She came to our home and we did most of them outside. I have two boys, 7 & 4. Amy caught their expressions in the most natural ways. She is great with her poses and configuring collages. She even made our Christmas cards for us. I received more responses about how great they were than ever before. I highly recommend Amy for any of your portrait needs.

My first experience with Denney Photography was a Portrait Party I had for the daycare families that come to my house everyday. Amy set up right in my home so when the parents picked up their children they could just stay for a photo shoot.

The pictures she took were wonderful and everyone was extremely pleased. What made the experience even better was the fact that we were able to look at our proofs within 48 hours and had our pictures back a week after we ordered them. Amazing!

I look forward to more wonderful experiences with this photographer that I now call a friend!
