The birdie backstory.
Your brand is more than just a logo and a colour palette - it’s how you show up, tell your story, and connect with your audience. That’s where I come in.
With a background in photography, marketing, and storytelling, I help business owners like you create a brand presence that’s beautiful, strategic, and oh-so-you, baby. How do we do that? Through dreamy personal branding images that tell your story, and a social media + website presence that does your images justice.
Creative, Strategic, and Obsessed with Good Coffee ☕
Oh hey there! I’m Deanna – the founder, face, and everything-in-between behind Birdie.
Photographer since way back in 2010, with a camera glued to my hand and a soft spot for small brands doing cool things. I’ve worked across marketing, communications, content creation, social media strategy, website building and copywriting - so I know firsthand how all the pieces of your brand strategy fit together.
From tradies to virtual assistants, makeup artists to accountants, homeware stores to jewellers - I’ve helped businesses across a huge range of industries look and sound their best online. I bring the strategy and visuals together to help your brand feel not just seen, but known.
Outside the inbox, you’ll usually find me chasing around my wild little toddler (she’s the best kind of chaos), grabbing a coffee (or two three), digging for goodies in my local opshop, dreaming up new ideas mid-walk by the beach, or planning a road-trip with my partner.
Why the name Birdie? Honestly - I just alllllways wanted a brand name that was one word, a little bit retro, a bit cheeky, and that encapsulated everything I do (I used to be Deanna Walker Photography - but we do waaaaay more than just photography these days). And so - Birdie was born.
“Deanna is amazing! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and my photos turned out so fun and relaxed, which is exactly what I wanted! Would recommend to anyone.”

Why i do what I do
Running a small business is no joke. You’ve got to be the face, the voice, the planner, the poster, the problem-solver, and sometimes the entire damn team.
That’s why Birdie isn’t just about pretty pictures or polished websites. It’s about giving you the confidence to show up online as yourself. Real, honest branding that reflects the heart of what you do. I believe that good branding isn’t just about how you look, it’s about how you connect. And I’m here to help you do both.
