Vandie Parsons
Owner/ Photographer
Full-time photographer, part-time magician- turning everyday moments into stunning boudoir, pin-up, engagement, and milestone memories! Whether it's capturing the fire between couples, the glow of sensual maternity, or the sass of a milestone birthday, I specialize in celebrating people exactly as they are. Proud fur momma to eight (yes, eight!) fabulous dogs and one sassy bearded dragon. When I'm not behind the lens, I'm either in scrubs as a dedicated registered nurse or elbows-deep in a craft project. I'm a loving wife, a devoted granddaughter, and resident multitasker of our cozy home in Troutman, NC- where family, creativity, and a little chaos rule the day.
Ashley Cline
Asst. Photographer/ Social Media Manager/ co-pose coordinator
Client turned Assistant!!! Ashley is our talented and energetic photography assistant who brings a perfect blend of organization, creativity, and heart to every shoot. When she’s not helping behind the scenes — fluffing dresses, calming nerves, or chasing the perfect light — she’s balancing life as a full-time recruiter, mom of three amazing kids, and proud dog mama to one very spoiled fur baby. Her superpower? Keeping calm under pressure and making everyone feel at ease — whether it’s during a family portrait session or a high-stakes job interview. We’re lucky to have her as part of our team, helping every shoot run smoothly and making sure no detail is missed.
Lindsey Bortz
Hype Woman Extraordinaire/ Behind the Scene Assistant
Lindsey is the ultimate hype woman and a powerhouse of positive energy on our team! Whether she’s wrangling kids for the perfect family shot, getting genuine laughs out of camera-shy clients, or dancing behind the scenes to keep the vibes high — she brings pure joy to every session. When she’s not helping create photo magic, she’s a full-time stay-at-home supermom to two awesome boys, a fur mama to two dogs and two cats (yes, it’s a full house!), and is currently planning her dream wedding with her fiancé. Her secret talents? Making toddlers smile on cue, fixing flyaways like a pro, and turning every shoot into a good time. We don’t know what we’d do without her energy, heart, and all-around magic.

Michelle Shaver Local Guide·6 reviews a month ago Unforgettable Boudoir Experience at Drangonfly Designs – Five Stars for Vandie & Ashley! From the moment I walked into Drangonfly Designs, Vandie and Ashley made me feel like the star of the show. Their warm welcome instantly calmed my nerves, and they guided me through each step with genuine enthusiasm. The glam session before the shoot felt like a red-carpet transformation. It made me feel both pampered and powerful! Vandie’s eye for detail truly set Drangonfly Designs apart. She has beautifully decorated the studio in a luxurious and romantic feel and has curated a wardrobe of outfits and accessories that not only matched my personal style but wove in my husband’s favorite color so subtly it felt like a private joke between us. Every piece highlighted my best features—especially that one body part he adores—so that when I looked in the mirror, I saw exactly what he loves most about me. During the shoot, their encouragement and expertise shone through. Soft spotlights, the perfect backdrop, and their playful direction had me striking poses I never thought possible. And when it was all over, Vandie presented the photographs in a custom leather-bound album—truly the best gift my husband will cherish forever. The craftsmanship and attention to detail made our memories feel timeless. If you’re looking for a boudoir studio that balances professionalism with heartfelt personalization, look no further than Drangonfly Designs. Vandie and Ashley don’t just take pictures; they craft an experience that leaves you feeling beautiful inside and out. Highly recommended! — Michelle, Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vandie focuses on you and bringing out your confidence through her lens. Being in front of the camera was something I wasn’t comfortable with before my first session. She put me at ease, and the photos made me see myself in a new light.
