Dechance Photography

I am a wife, mom, and rugby player, with a love for the outdoors. I enjoy sports and nature photography when I am not making beautiful portraits for seniors, couples, and families. Originally from southern California, I moved north to the San Luis Obispo area in 1995 and didn't look back. The fresh coastal air and abundance of wildlife with breathtaking sunsets locked me in. It has been a great pl

ace to raise 3 kids and a husband. We have a little ranch with horses, chickens, dogs, and cats to keep us busy. I have a particular fondness for the sport of rugby and travel to tournaments as often as possible. The community is like no other that I have experienced and it is the same no matter where in the world you go. I tell incoming rookies that there are no strangers in rugby, just family you haven't met yet. When it comes to nature photography, everything is fair game! Bees, plants, flowers, birds, marine wildlife, cats, horses, lions, tigers, and anything that I can capture in my lens. I hope to someday be able to travel to Africa and capture elephants, zebras, lions and jaguars. For all wildlife prints, I will be donating a portion of each sale to the related conservation fund to secure the future of the planet's wildlife. Each conservation fund has been researched to ensure the priority is wildlife.
