Through the lens of Peggy DeWitt

By QAC Team

Professional photographer Peggy DeWitt, grew up on a farm near Orono, Ont. and has been a resident of Prince Edward County for most of her adult life, raising three beautiful daughters on a dairy farm near Cherry Valley. With an agricultural background, DeWitt has photographed and captured the beauty of the area in all its moods and seasons since 1992 when she embraced photography fulltime in Picton. DeWitt’s work is well known and appreciated for its distinctive interpretation with a rural flare.

DeWitt demonstrates her professionalism in everything from studio photography, portraits and weddings to commercial work for the web and magazines including the original County Magazine.

She has published four books of Prince Edward County: “County Scenes, A Photographic Celebration of Prince Edward County” (2001), “Sandbanks, The Golden Beaches of Prince Edward County” (2003), “The County through the lens of photographer Peggy DeWitt” ( 2008) and “A Four Season County – Prince Edward” in collaboration with Phil Norton, Rob Garden and Jason Pettit (2020).

Her online gallery offers a wide array of images with over 3,700 stock photos of the favourite Prince Edward County landmarks, including the golden beaches of Sandbanks, remote lighthouses, old barns, romantic vineyards and wineries, historical buildings and aerial views of the town and villages. Her note cards, matted prints or framed images can be found at many retail locations throughout PEC.

DeWitt enjoys sharing knowledge about photography, having taught camera courses and leading travel workshops in Portugal and Turkey, and recently (due to COVID) a webinar on Promotional Photography - how to take better photos to promote your business.
