D'Ann Boal
Award-winning portrait photographer and photography educator D'Ann Boal’s first photographs were of her baby son, and it wasn’t long before documenting his life turned into a hobby, then a passion, and eventually a boutique business aptly named Smitten & Swoon Photography.
D’Ann specializes in creating romantic and ethereal family images both in-studio and in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, where the scenic landscape provides ideal locations for distinctive and personalized environmental portraits.
Her enthusiasm for teaching began with a master’s degree in education and her early career as a fifth-grade teacher. She’s now come full circle with workshops and in-person and online classes that cover imaging techniques as well as strategies for running a successful photography business.
D’Ann is also a Click Community Mentor and a Profoto Ambassador and has led retreats internationally, spoken on stages at WPPI, Imaging USA and Click Away, and has taught for Click Photo School, PPA and numerous industry retail outlets.
Finding new landscapes for the perfect photo background keeps me constantly inspired.
