Prints for Sale!

Traveling abroad is an incredible thing to experience. Even when I am not traveling, I enjoy reading National Geographic for the articles and for the amazing photographs from other travelers. Its a great way to get a dose of what others see and get a sense of what a place is.

Traveling to around 30 different countries, I must admit to having the 'Travel Bug' and I can't get rid of it. Working for a cruise line like I did for that long opened my eyes to so much and to see how others live is AMAZING!!!!!!!! These photographs take me back to the moments, the smells, the sounds...everything. Even before digital photography, I have 1000's of photographs (seriously) taken on film. Since digital, I have gone overboard and don't regret one bit going crazy with my camera! When out and about, I'd bring my camera along with me (and still do here in Kentucky) in search of the moment to photograph. That one moment may just as well be the one photograph or article that moves you like no other has, reminding you of a moment in your own life that could be marked as 'one of the best days ever'. That is what I personally like to capture and want to share with everyone!

We have a HUGE variety of prints that are interesting, beautiful, inspiring, and will look amazing in your office at work or anywhere in your home. We have a variety of sizes as well as beautiful framing available (perfect to compliment your decor and personal style). Please check out our website for more information and for a sample of the photographs we turn into prints for sale. Please check out our website, call or email for more information! ~Rhiannon~

Meet Deana Williams Johnson

Well hello there and welcome to our blog!
My name is Deana Williams Johnson. I was born and raised in eastern Kentucky. I graduated photography school in 2003 from Nashville State Technical Institute. I love beautiful lighting, thanks to my friend and mentor, Skip Jackson. Skip is the backbone of the photo program at Nashville State. He teaches digital and lighting. That man could light a golf ball so beautifully that you'd want to marry it!! He does actually have a great shot of a golf ball that is really gorgeous. LOL
I recently married the LOVE of my life, Brandt Johnson. We have a home studio in Pikeville, KY.


I travel all around the country shooting portraits and weddings. You can see me in '09 in New York, South Dakota, New Orleans, Nashville and all over KY.

If I were to try to explain my shooting style I say: quirky, casual, relaxed, modern, sassy, and ever changing.

A photo session with me is sooo comfortable. I've never met a stranger. I'll talk your head off and you won't feel a bit camera shy.
I don't limit my sessions to minutes or x-amount of frames. I shoot your session until we are both satisfied with the end results. Sometimes I'll take 1 1/2 to two hours to achieve this and sometimes we can get it in 30 minutes. I'm open to new ideas and techniques and I'm big on not having your portraits look like anyone elses. I love uniqueness and having a client's images reflect their personality.

I love love love photographing animals and I actually have my own Hallmark greeting cards. My designs and greetings were chosen among 7,000 entries to be published and printed in Hallmark, and other retail stores across the globe! So if you have a fur baby, bring it on over and lets get some photos of you and your waggy tailed friend.

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!! Just found out last week one of my dog photos will be on another Hallmark card!!! Look for it this summer on a Thank You card!!!!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Meet The Photographers: Rhiannon Hedrick-Sukedana

About Rhiannon Hedrick-Sukedana
Hello! My name is Rhiannon Hedrick Sukedana and I too grew up in Eastern Kentucky. I graduated from Prestonsburg with Deana in 1997 and went to Morehead State University. While at MSU, I studied Music and Psychology where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2002. This is the time in my life where photography and traveling became a hobby and a passion. Towards the end of my studies at MSU, I got the chance to travel to the Caribbean and fell in love with culture! From then on out, Eastern Kentucky was something that had to wait as I had to get out there and travel. After completing University, I decided to take a walk on the wild side and work traveling with a major cruise line where I became even more inspired with photography and photographing diverse people, lots of color, architecture, culture, and events. This was a huge moment in my life because all these years I was afraid of change. I packed my bags and off I went to Boston where my life changed forever.I have photographed all throughout the US in places like Key West, Miami, Charleston SC, Philadelphia, NYC, Boston, Lexington, Memphis, New Orleans, and all over Hawaii to name just a few. Also, I have photographed in at least 30 different countries in Asia, South America, and North America-heavily throughout Central America, Caribbean and Indonesia. While working on board a ship in Hawaii, I met my husband, Wayan Sukedana, from Bali, Indonesia. This man is so amazing and there is no one in this entire world like him! We traveled everywhere together and sought out some wild and amazing things! Traveling to Bali for the first time was so exciting and I absorbed everything from the sights, sounds, the riches of the lands, the poorest of poverty, and fell in love with their culture and the ways of the Balinese. Many people from his village have never had their picture taken ever until I came! Thanks to me, almost everyone there has a portrait. I donated one of my digital cameras to them to capture moments like weddings, ceremonies, and everyday moments.My true passion with photography is finding natural moments and making them into art. I love photographing people and capturing them in their element. I love shooting at Sporting Events, Weddings, and Portraits. I truly believe that everyone has something about them that is unique and specifies who they are... I love bringing that out in with my camera. I am so excited and honored to have the opportunity to work along with Deana!!!!
