Deborah Cota is a photographer based in Evergreen, Colorado. Her passion for visual expression, design, photography, nature and personal relationships fuels her creativity and aesthetic. Her ability to understand the story each photograph needs to tell allows her to see the subject, be it an environment or a person, with clarity and intimacy.

A lifelong creative, Deborah pursues diverse projects and directions. Her varied experience includes interior space planning, small dwelling design, furniture design, being a business owner and entrepreneur, graphic design and advertising, and photography. The disciplines often overlap and complement one another, energizing her vision, talents, and creative spark. Deborah has lived and worked in Miami, Florida, New York City, and Colorado.

Designing and building her own right-sized 1,245sf home in Evergreen, Colorado, became a reality in the past three years. Not only would she do it again in a heartbeat, but Deborah looks forward to collaborating professionally with like-minded small-dwelling enthusiasts and entrepreneurs.

When not working on client projects, Deborah spends time with her daughter, extended family and friends, xeriscape gardening, and exploring Colorado’s trails and outdoors.
