Destaing shoots candid photos and captures kids as they behave naturally. She's happy to incorporate input from clients and usually stays for the whole party, taking an average of about 300 pictures.

Destaing uses a digital camera to take color or black and white shots, or, for an extra $25 per roll, shoots black and white 35mm film.

The photography fee is $350, and parents usually purchase a photo CD for $100. Destaing can also print and enlarge digital photos. She does offer packages, and tries to work within clients' budgets.

For a party during the holiday season, please book several months in advance.
