about your presenter
D’Ann graduated with a master’s degree in education, but it wasn’t until her son was born and she moved to the Caribbean that she picked up a camera and never looked back. Photographing her family’s quiet life by the sea inspired her photography journey. Today she runs a highly successful photography boutique specializing in newborn, child, and family photography. Living on a farm in Colorado with her husband, son, and daughter, she is inspired by capturing the light and magic of her children’s lives. She treasures her daily cup of jasmine tea, hikes with family, and long swims in the sunshine.
I just went trough this course once again. An as always, everything you do and create is magical. This another course from D’Ann that you have to do it.
I loved this breakout so much! I am such a huge fan of D’Ann and her work and she is so generous with her knowledge and expertise here. This breakout is packed with information from lighting to composition, clothing choices, so many editing tips and she even provides photoshop actions for you to download too. The photo examples D’Ann provides are all so incredible – they really show you how you can find magic everywhere if you look for it! One of the things I loved most about the breakout was D’Anns words, they were so beautiful and inspiring. It was so uplifting and thought provoking, actually made me feel quite emotional! Thank you D’Ann for this amazing breakout!
Hi I’m interested in buying this BO but I was wondering if the editing section would still be beneficial for me if I only use Lightroom? I don’t use photoshop… thanks!!
Hello Kim!
I do use Lightroom to edit as well as Photoshop, so you’d be able to see my process in both software programs. :)
Wow!! I very much enjoyed this breakout. I wish her shooting videos were longer because I’m so fascinated in her images but when you’re that good it probably doesn’t take long:) I learned so much and was sad when I got to the last page of the pdf- I didn’t want it to end. Definitely worth it!!
D’Ann’s photography is a window into life’s most beautiful moments. This course, All That We Love, masterfully walks you through every angle of how to capture your precious memories through this exquisite medium. True to every thing D’Ann does, this course goes above and beyond what it promises. D’Ann takes the overwhelm out of the many elements of photography and gracefully opens her heart and brings her skills to the table to walk with you on this journey. You’ll also be given the gift of knowing D’Ann and her beautiful soul as she welcomes you in the back door and shares her secrets of illuminating the details that capture that moment in time you want to hold in your heart forever. She points out the elements that create magic and pop, focus and mood. This course gives you easy to follow steps, valuable tools, and immeasurable how-to’s right down to her humble tenderness saying, “Here’s where I started and what I did to create what I do now. I’ll be with you every step of the way.” She does exactly this. Just when you think “Oh, that’s interesting, now I understand how to create that effect with f-stops, exposure or shutter speed,” she’s right there to pick you up and take you to the next level deepening the pictures with lighting, colors, angles, posing, and editing. This course is a masterpiece delivering far beyond photography. It captures heart, meaning, and the reminders of the emotions behind the photographs. You will be blown away by the gift this provides and the blessing of knowing one of the most talented photographers as she shares her secrets so your story can start off shining!
Kelly!!! You just made me cry. Your words are like a beautiful love-poem. Thank you for taking the time and heart and energy to write such a loving review for my course. I am grateful beyond words!
I’ve been a huge admirer of D’Ann’s photography for years and was thrilled to hear that she was doing a breakout. I knew it would be wonderful, but WOW, I didn’t know it would be SO WONDERFUL! Her 150+ pdf is literally bursting with useful information and beautiful images. Her shooting and editing videos are fun and effortless to watch. She’s an exceptional photographer, but she’s also an exceptional teacher – which is what makes this breakout so darn fantastic. Thank you D’Ann for every little detail you shared with us. This was by far, the wisest $50 I have ever, ever spent.
Oh Channi, thank you, thank you! I’m so completely honored that you signed up for my breakout. Thank you for your sweet words and for taking the time to read my words and watch my videos.
D’Ann’s BO is one of these I’ve ever purchased.
It is incredibly concise and in-depth from beginning to end. D’Ann takes you from inside her own camera-settings—how she sets everything up, alongside showing you how she works on her own photo sessions. She’s really covered everything. There are also videos on “how-to-in PS”, plus bonus material and she explains everything so welll. I’ve gained new skills, and look forward to adding what I’ve learned to my photography.
Thank you D’Ann for putting together such a rich and informative break-out for us.
I am so happy I’ve been able to be a part of this.
You are so kind, Joanne! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind and heart-felt words. I’m so honored you signed up for my class and happy that you learned and grew as an artist and storyteller. I can’t wait to continue to watch you grow!
Wow! The BOs just keep getting better and better. D’Ann not only takes heart-moving and jaw-dropping images, she went above and beyond my expectations to answer my questions and provide vital feedback on my photos. I learned so much in this class and highly recommend it to others. Her PDF was packed with good information and beautiful photos. I learned the most from her editing videos and helpful suggestions for individual growth. Thank you, D’Ann, for such an amazing experience and for your encouragement throughout the course.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review, Jen. I’m so happy you loved your experience!
This is the first breakout I’ve done and it completely exceeded expectations. D’Ann was so thoughtful and thorough from start to finish in the materials to allow participants to reach “their own next level”. I’ve been inspired by her work, challenged by the exercises and encouraged by her feedback. I’d highly recommend it!
Michelle, it was such an honor to have you join my class. Thank you for being so wonderful! I look forward to watching you grow and grow!
All that we love, is exactly what I needed right now. The PDF is so jam packed with information, D’ann discusses everything from the technical aspects to composition to light, color, perspective, lenses, all with great pictures as examples. I especially love the section where she talks about lenses and how a lens choice can change the outcome of the exact same picture so dramatically. The creative exercises forces you to really think and slow down before you press the shutter! But I have to say the shooting videos are a hit with my family! My 5 year old daughter and my husband(who absolutely have no interest in photography) have watched these videos with me several times! We go over them at least once in a day. So glad I purchased this during the Thanksgiving break, I was able to work on lot of exercises and incorporate them in my pictures! You wont go wrong with this one!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Heena! Oh my goodness I can’t believe you’re all watching the shooting videos! I’m so happy that you’re learning and growing as an artist. You’re work is beautiful.
I have been a huge fan of D’Ann’s work for some time, and when l saw that she was going to do this breakout l knew that l couldn’t miss this opportunity. I am half way through the PDF’s and I can already say that l have learned so much and l am so happy that l am part of this.
Thank you so much for your kind and loving words Juliana. I’m so happy you’re loving it. :)
Wow this is an amazing breakout, D’ann’s photography and editing are simply superb and she covers so much information here in the PDF’s and all video’s, i will reading and watching these over and over, there’s so much to learn, my advice is don’t hesitate to get this breakout well worth every penny!
Thank you so much Adrian. It’s been an honor to have you in the class. Your photography is always so beautiful!
Take Action! Do not hesitate. This breakout with D’Ann is unmatched. The material put together in her book and videos is filled with heart and soul. “All That We Love” will make you fall in love with your photography, the world around you, and yourself. The value far exceeds the investment. Thank you D’Ann for sharing your gift with the rest of the world.
Lizzy, I so appreciate your kind words. I’m so happy to have you in this class!
I just finished reading through D’ann’s magnificent PDF. Not only did I find so much helpful information, I was just completely blown away with how much ‘LOVE” was expressed in her explanations. Between her beautiful quotes and her genuine authenticity of wanting to share her talent, I was re-energized to dig deeper within my own work. Her love for connection and capturing each beautiful moment is contagious. I found myself going back through pictures I have already edited and looking at them in a new light and perspective! It was like she somehow knew what unanswered questions I have had and had the answer already there! Thank you!
Jeanette, thank you so much for writing such thoughtful, kind words. I’m so happy you’re learning and finding inspiration.
I have just purchased D’Ann’s Breakout “All That We Love” and I have been enamored from the very start! The pdf is BEAUTIFUL and is something that D’Ann obviously put her heart and soul into. The material is put together in a systematic and meaningful way with fun periodic exercises to help the information sink in. And the images throughout this pdf will have that you swooning! D’Ann helps one see what is possible and teaches how to achieve the results with your own vision. I know I will definitely see photography with fresh eyes because of this Breakout! I highly recommend this Breakout! It’s truly worth it!
Theresa, this means so much coming from you. Thank you so much! I’m honored you signed up.
I’ve only read through the PDF so far and WOW!!! D’ann has poured her heart and soul into this breakout, it is packed full of material and her images are stunning. I can’t wait to watch all of the videos and dive in.
Thank you so much for the kind words Lisa!
All that we love–by Smittenandswoon is a phenomenal class and I can say that even if it was over right now–but I’m not even half way done! The ways it challenges your thinking and the tips on every detail of your photo, will be inspirational and helpful throughout your career. No one will regret this class. Taught by one of the best photographers I’ve seen who also happens to be super helpful and encouraging! Just do it…….
Thank you so much Christine! I’m so happy that you’re here!
I have been searching for something to give me some inspiration and perspective. When this breakout popped up I looked at D’ann’s work and immediately purchased it. I cried through the material, and picked up my camera to begin taking photos of my family. It has inspired me to find the magic in the every day and has lit a fire in my soul!

I cannot wait to delve into this information to take my photography to the next level and add some magic to my everyday photos.
Thank you so much Liz! I’m so happy you’ve joined this breakout!
D’Ann a true storyteller. Her images and words are infused with life and heart. Just reading through the first few paragraphs of her breakout filled me with inspiration. She truly balances magic and real life in the most beautiful way and shares that perfectly in this breakout. The pdf is incredibly informative, absolutely gorgeous and captured my attention until the very last word. She includes amazing exercises and videos to enhance the learning….she really shared so much! I am blown away and beyond thrilled with everything. I can’t wait to pour over all of this again and again and again.
Thank you sweet Natalie, for your kindness and love. I so appreciate you and am happy you love my breakout.
Best breakout I’ve done! The information is valuable and D’Ann is incredibly active and helpful on the forum, which I believe is the most part. She is invested in every participant’s growth. Couldn’t be happier to be a part of this BO!
Oh my goodness Staci that’s the kindest thing you could possibly say! Thank you! I’m loving all your shares on the forum. Can’t wait to keep watching you grow. :)
D’Ann did such a wonderful job with this breakout! The PDF is wonderful and absolutely packed full of material. Her images are inspirational, and I have learned so much from her expertise.
