Woman-run Business Profile: Deborah Ouellette Photography

When I was younger, my parents put me into modeling classes. When I grew up I realized that not every little girl had this opportunity. This opportunity included not only being able to learn how to walk the runway and put an outfit together but it also gave me the opportunity to find out my favorite part about modeling, the photography. I still do modeling today, mostly print modeling, some promotional modeling, but I will never forget where I first began my journey in print modeling with Deborah Oulette. 


Deborah has an artistic eye and it shows in her photography. She has photographed many portraits of girls, women, boys, men, pageant princesses, models, high school senior pictures, baby pictures, and so on. She is a true entrepreneur woman who has been successful in the field of photography for a very long time. As a girl, I was always so inspired by not only her lovely photographs, but her as a business woman. 


She is a Writer/photographer for the modeling/talent industry. Author of 5 books (most recent: Breaking Into Commercials: The Complete Guide to Marketing Yourself, Auditioning to Win, & Getting the Job!" -- co-authored with LA/NY commercial casting director Terry Berland. Foreword by Seinfeld's Jason Alexander). She wrote a book for dance school photographers (est. publication date: Jan 2010). 


She was taking pictures when there was only film, before digital, before photoshop, before a photographer could re-touch the lighting easily on a computer and fix every flaw as easily as they can do now. 


If you are located in Southeast Michigan and need photographs for any reason, she is definitely the photographer to work with. I credit her with many lovely images of myself as a child from modeling shows to studio shoots, to my senior pictures, which wowed my entire class! 


Always remember the people who inspired you throughout your life. Life is a journey, and you can find inspiration everywhere.

  1. Thank you Megan, for this lovely article. Brought back so many memories from my days with Feminique, Muirheads, and Crowleys.

    Quick update: The "Enchanted Moments" calendar project took over my life for a while (to say the least...lol!) so the book for dance school photographers is STILL in editing but should be ready for publication this year (finally).

    Know how very proud I am to know you, to have photographed you, and to now see you growing in your own business.

    Best wishes to you for a wonderful, happy, healthy, and prosperous year -- personally and professionally.

    (keep in touch)

    HUGS!
