What a gift Deborah Kalas has for photographing children. This was our second season working with Deb. We received our book and were completely blown away. We absolutely LOVE it!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Such a priceless possession! Thank you for capturing our little girls just how we’d like to always remember them.

– Whitney & Andrew, Family Portrait Client


This was our first time working with Santa Barbara Photographer Deborah, and the photographs we received are amazing! Thank you, thank you. I can’t get over it, they are stunning!

– Andrea & Michael, Family Portrait Client


Working with Deb was nothing but a pleasure! Her work is simply beautiful. She is flexible, honest, and really aims to please! We will always cherish the stunning pictures she took of our baby Ella down by the ocean in East Hampton.

– Allison & Allan, Portrait Clients


Deb Kalas has artistically captured the spirit of our daughter throughout her three years of life. Behind the lens, Deb has documented her changes in looks and personality (and managed lately to keep up with an always-on-the-run toddler!) Everyone advises me and my husband to savor each moment with our child, given the fleetingness of childhood. But each photograph we have of Deb’s is a gift to relive, as it contains the completeness of a moment – the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual.

– Kyle & Liam McCann, Hamptons Portrait Clients


Working with Deb could not have been easier and more comfortable. She brought the best of our family (which isn’t easy!) and it showed in the beautiful prints that followed. We could not have been happier with the quality of the photographs and had such a tough time choosing which prints to use. Everyone keeps telling us that our Christmas card is the best they have ever seen.

– Kathy & Andrew, Portrait Clients


Thank you for your professionalism and talent. It is a pleasure to own a product of quality and special images.

– Deborah and Eric Tantel, Wedding Clients


We hired Deb because her style and sensibility seemed a perfect fit for our wedding concept, which was to hold a dinner party, where everyone could have fun, and at which we got married in front of our closest family and friends. Therefore, we did not want many posed shots. Rather, our aspiration was to capture “moments” in a photojournalistic style over the course of the evening…a series of photographs that would reveal the essence and spirit of our wedding through the character, charisma and interaction of the people in attendance. Deb came through in a way that we could not have even imagined. Her work was nothing short of fabulous and stunning.

– Jennifer Schweitzer & William R. Brooks Jr, Wedding Clients


We have known Deb for over five years. We first met when she photographed our Hamptons Wedding. We just loved her work. We recently asked her to do a Family Beach Portrait session in Westhampton. Her work is tremendous; she is very particular and has a great eye for the “perfect shot.”
– Carol & Tom, Westhampton & New York City, Wedding & Portrait Clients


Our heartfelt thanks for your donation of professional photography. It makes such a difference in the quality of our publications.

– Kathleen Conrad, The Nature Conservancy


Deb Kalas’s photographs of our son Chris are wonderful! She captures the harmony of horse & rider and the intensity of the moment. We have many professional horse show photos and Deb’s rank with the best!

– Diane & Frank, Equestrian/Portrait Clients


Thank you so much for the beautiful book. I have shown it to everyone! I will treasure it and all of the photographs for many years. My mom loved her picture. The frame is beautiful.

– Susan Miller, Portrait Client


While the memory of Meri’s wedding day becomes faded through time, the beautiful pictures help to bring back into focus that wonderful day.  Your professionalism and skill as a photographer are top notch.

– Selma & Sid Sherter, Parents of Wedding Client


Thank you for coming to the rescue on such short notice. The photographs are wonderful. Many thanks for your time and professionalism.

– Eliza Damicki, Bay Street Theatre


Deb photographed my fiancé’s proposal to me back in May and it was the best decision he made (after the proposal, of course)!  Deb was honest, kind, and captured my moment! She even went along with my fiancé’s whimsical proposal idea. Deb was a pleasure to work with and a wonderful Santa Barbara Photographer.  I would highly recommend Deborah Kalas Photography- they truly were the best for capturing our special moment!

– Stacy and Frank, Wedding engagement, Westhampton
