Distinction Photo

Debbie Daanen Photography is a local, well established portrait studio, located on Northland Avenue, Appleton. We are a full service photography studio, over 1,500 square feet in size, with a large, beautifully North lit camera room and private outdoor space. Our studio was established over 41 years ago and our talent pool is second to none. We are a high end studio that combines both classic and contemporary styles of photography to create striking, classic images with a hint of photo-journalistic flare. With our full time photographer, Ashley Schmit, and part-time assistance from Stacey Hill-Foy (and the occasional assistance from our very own, recently retired, Debbie Daanen), we are able to combine a variety of photographic perspectives to ensure a variety of images in a timely fashion. Ashley, having over 21 years of experience herself, has 'seen it all', so there is rarely a project we can't handle! We take pride in our professional and exquisite customer service. We focus on one-on-one personal attention with each client’s wants and needs and guarantee your satisfaction with our services and products. With Laurie Thern, our in-house professional photo retoucher, your artwork is guaranteed to look beautiful. We always use a professional portrait processing lab and stand behind the quality of our prints. Photography is our passion and we truly believe that your final portraits will not only be treasured memories, but lasting works of art. We are always open to your ideas and would love to answer any questions you might have about your session. Contact the studio to set up an in-person or phone/virtual consultation. We look forward to creating with you! WHAT DOES YOUR STORY LOOK LIKE?
