A New Chapter: Little Joys by Deanna Dunham Designs

The start of something joyful.

You may have noticed something soft and subtle shifting around here.

A new profile picture.

A new name.

A new feeling, really.

Little Joys by Deanna Dunham Designs has been quietly blooming behind the scenes—slowly, gently, and in a way that mirrors exactly how I want this next chapter to feel.

This isn’t just a rebrand.

It’s a return.

Over the past year—especially since last winter—I’ve felt a quiet nudge. A need to create more space for the kind of photography that fills me up and gives others space to breathe. Not just the polished or posed—but the present, the real, the emotionally resonant.

I’ve been shifting out of survival mode and back into myself. And with that return has come a deeper clarity: I don’t just want to take beautiful pictures.

I want to hold space—for stories, for connection, for memory.

That’s where Little Joys began.

About Little Joys

by Deanna Dunham Designs

This isn’t just photography.

It’s a breath—a pause—a remembering.

A quiet place to land.

Little Joys was born from the kind of moments that don’t shout.

The weight of a child against your chest.

The flicker of sunlight on the water.

The way love feels when no one’s watching.

I created Little Joys to honour those moments—the in-between ones.

The tender ones.

The kind you don’t always notice until they’ve passed.

This work is rooted in presence.

In warmth.

In the trust that unfolds when you're seen, not styled.

I want you to feel calm in front of my lens—never rushed, never posed into something you’re not.

Just you, exactly as you are, in this chapter of your story.

I studied graphic design, which gave me an eye for form, balance, and quiet elegance.

But photography? That I taught myself—one honest moment at a time.

Now I blend both to create imagery that’s as thoughtful as it is true.

What You’ll Find Here

Through Little Joys, I photograph:

– Families wrapped in connection

– Mothers in their becoming

– Lovers in stillness and spark

– Brands built from soul and story

And maybe most of all—people in their truth.

Not curated.

Not rushed.

Just real.

I take on only what I can hold with care.

Every session is an invitation—to slow down, to be witnessed, to remember what matters.

What’s Changing (and What’s Not)

While Little Joys is now becoming the heart of my photography work, Deanna Dunham Designs will continue to hold the design, branding, and marketing side of my creative business. If you’re a long-time client, you’ll still see all the things you’ve come to know—just refined, focused, and intentionally split into two meaningful spaces.

This transition is happening slowly, organically, and unrushed—just like everything else I do.

I’m letting it unfold in a way that feels grounded and genuine.

If you're looking for photos that feel like you, if you're drawn to softness, sincerity, and story,

If you want more than a gallery—you want memory—

Then welcome.

This is for you.

With light,

Deanna
