About Me

Hi! I’m Debbie Schurr--often answering to the name “Debs”. I am a wife to a Military Man, a mother to 2 crazy “Littles”, a Photography-Ninja (nicknamed because I’m known for jumping and climbing all over the place to get the shot I want!), and a Veteran of the Air Force. I’m a tattoo addict who wishes she had enough money to pay for the habit, I believe that hair color should be anything but boring, Superheroes exist in the real world as well as Comic Books and Movies, and that chocolate can heal many wounds! I moved to Philadelphia in 2004 from Colorado--and, while my artists’ eye is happiest in the big city, my heart yearns to move back out West (back to Colorado, if given the choice!). However, since I’m living here in the city until further notice, this has given me the travel bug! I’m always on the lookout for somewhere new and exciting to go, that might just have that hidden gem just waiting to be photographed! As a Photographer, I tend to see things differently. I see beauty where others see destruction. Where people see flaws--I see perfection. I use my photographs to show others what I see. Whether its vibrant colors splashed (or sprayed!) on a wall by a stranger, or the subtle, yet sassy, beauty shown in a portrait, I strive to capture it. To see more of my work, check out MaydayMayhem Photography on Facebook, or at www.maydaymayhemphotography.com.

Hey! I'm Debbie (Debs, Deb, Deborah....whichever), and I'm the face behind the camera of MaydayMayhem Photography. I may live in Philly, but my mind is anywhere else about 98% of the time.

Most days find me awake entirely too early, coffee cup in hand, and driving my 2 kids to school. Don't be jealous of my glamorous life!

I love stories. Reading them and telling them. Everyone has their own story to tell, even if they think it's boring!

For instance, behind my Mom Mask:

--I hide 11 tattoos
--Usually sport Blue Hair
--Sarcasm is my native language
--Believe that Gryffindor is the best house to belong to (fight me)
--Clowns terrify me
--I have survived Air Force Boot Camp...on Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches!

See. Behind what everyone shows the world, there is another story. And I want to tell yours.
