Why we ranked them

Why we chose DTS Photography

Jennifer Dema owns and operates DTS Photography out of her studio in Bellevue, serving families throughout the greater Dubuque area. Voted a Platinum winner in the 2025 and 2026 Community Votes for the Dubuque region, she built her reputation first as an award-winning senior portrait photographer -- her work has been featured in Senior Year Magazine's "Best of the Year" -- before expanding into maternity and newborn sessions for local parents. Her newborn work leans toward simple, timeless posing: swaddled wraps, quiet studio light, and portraits that put the whole family in frame rather than just the baby alone. Sessions run about an hour, with add-on options for parents, siblings, and pets so the whole household ends up in the gallery. Jennifer also shoots sports, team, and dance banners for regional schools, which keeps her active in the same communities her newborn clients call home. Parents looking for a photographer who already has deep roots in the Dubuque area, rather than someone new to the market, tend to gravitate toward her studio. Every session's images are delivered as an edited digital download with print rights included, and maternity clients can borrow gowns for their sitting at no extra charge. For families in Dubuque, Bellevue, and the surrounding Tri-State region, DTS Photography offers a locally established alternative to studio chains.
