Updates from Dultmeier Photography in Stuart, FL

Compelling and natural real life portrait photography by Diane Dultmeier in the Stuart, FL area.

A little info about me…

My name is Diane Dultmeier. I grew up in a small town called Silver Lake, Kansas. For more than twenty years, I have been a portrait photographer in Stuart, Florida. I love photographing people! My most favorite thing is to spend time totally involved in photographing a family or children or a baby and to hear later that my photographs are the best ones ever taken of them--that I totally captured their relationships and who they really are.

I am very lucky to have a career doing something I really love. I discovered photography during my junior year of high school and went on to earn my Bachelor's Degree in photojournalism. During my career, I have tried all kinds of photography--I was a staff photographer at several newspapers (daily and weekly); I have done commercial, product and architectural photography, modeling photography, weddings and bar mitzvahs. I have contributed to many publications, including Stuart Magazine, Newsweek, USA Today, The Stuart News, The Palm Beach Post, Luminaries, Palm Beach Illustrated, and Notables.

But, my most favorite thing, by far, is to photograph regular, everyday people who value my style of photography. Clients have told me through the years how much they cherish the images I did of them years earlier. How glad they are that they made time and found the money to do the portraits when they did and how they regard the images as their "treasures." I consider this work to be vastly more important than an image published in Newsweek or some other publication.

Besides photography, my other loves are my husband Mike Ballinger, and my two sons, Daniel, 10, and Andrew,7. Mike is my business partner, so if you call us, there is a good chance he will answer the phone. He is a great guy who grew up in Oklahoma and truly loves his family. He is one of the nicest people I know.

Call us at (772) 223-0451 to talk about creating portraits that will bless your heart and your home.

(Please "pardon our dust" right now as I get our blog set up all the way. Feel free to click on the main website link at the top of this page--you can see a huge number of images on there.)

Teacher Gift Idea!

Posted in by Diane, Portraits, Special Promotions No comments

Dultmeier Photography Teacher Gift Certificate Promotion

Hello Everyone!

I can’t believe the school year is coming to a close already!

One of my clients gave me a terrific idea for an end-of-year teacher’s gift and I wanted to share it with you.

She emailed me about buying a gift certificate for her child’s teacher. As I was responding to her, I thought about how neat it was that she wanted to gift the teacher in such a personal way. Then I realized it had been quite some time since she (the client) had done her own family portrait.

So I thought, why not gift HER with a portrait session?

That’s how our two-for-one teacher gift offer was conceived!

Here is the idea–if you purchase a Dultmeier Photography gift certificate for your child’s teacher, we will give you an identical gift certificate for you to keep for your own family or children’s portrait.

For example, give the teacher a portrait session ($150) plus an 8×10 ($115) and you will also receive a gift certificate for a portrait session and an 8×10 to use for your next family portrait.

What a win-win!

I can’t think of a better gift for a teacher than something that allows her (or him) to capture family memories in a way that will be cherished for years to come.

Plus, with slower summer days just around the corner, this is perfect timing for the teachers in your life to schedule their sessions!

Call us today at 772-223-0451 to reserve your gift certificates.

P.S. This is a limited offer–the first 10 who purchase gift certificates get the two-for-one deal.
