Hi there! I'm Deaune Boyd, Portrait Photographer and founder of Elysian Visions. I am a self-taught Portrait Photographer who started as a hobbyist in 2014 but soon after discovered that photography was my true passion. I have since gone on to perfect my craft, studying Photojournalism, Digital Media Arts, Adobe Photoshop, and many more areas of photography.

I've had the incredible opportunity to work with some amazing brands and people - The Beard Boss Company, Ri.Esstential Cosmetics, Sunflowers and Selenite LLC, Delta Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Eta Delta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Papillon Effect Apparel, and many more. I was even lucky enough to be invited to photograph the screening for Netflix's series Colin In Black & White! On top of this, I have also been able to capture some beautiful moments like Engagement Proposals with The SD Picnic Co., Portraits with Mayah Hatcher, and Podcaster/Digital Creator Louise Rumball.

I understand how it feels to be unsure about yourself; that's why I want to use my gift as a photographer to remind my clients that their imperfections make them perfect in their ways. My end goal is to show my clients just how beautiful they already are by capturing moments of real emotion in breathtaking photos that celebrate all aspects of them as individuals.

In my leisure time, when I'm not working with my camera, I love cooking up delicious meals and exploring thrilling conspiracy theories - much to the delight (and sometimes chagrin) of my friends! When I'm not behind the camera or in the kitchen, you can usually find me at concerts (especially when Jazz or Reggae is playing!) or binge-watching true crime stories. So if you're looking for a Portrait Photographer who will make your experience enjoyable from beginning to end, experience the Elysian way and see what your perfect imperfections can look like!
