Debby’s photography experience began in 1978 with CPI Corporation where, as a District Manager, she oversaw operations for 30 portrait studios in a four state area.

After graduating from Southwest Missouri State University in 1988 with a degree in photography, she focused on developing her craft for the next year while using her talents doing free lance photography work.

In 1989, she took a position with Mignard Studios, an upscale portrait studio in Springfield,  Missouri.  In this position, she received substantial training and experience from working along side seasoned portraiture professionals.  During her tenure there, she chose to specialize in fine portraiture, wedding and special event photography.

She has received certification through the Professional Photographers Association where, for the past 12 years, she has received professional training  to sharpen her skills and develop her own personal photography style.

In 2001,  she chose to venture out on her own and Debby Young Photography was begun.  This career move, in which she chose to specialize in wedding and family portraiture, has become a highly successful venture.  Within two years, through  featured work in 417 Magazine and word-of-mouth referrals,  Debby has gained a reputation as the premier wedding photographer in Southwest Missouri.

Debby understands the importance of staying up-to-date with today’s ever changing visual media environment and unique photo requests.  Even with 25 years experience, she continues to stretch her abilities while challenging herself to maintain the quality craftsmanship that her reputation was built on and her clientele demands.
