meet your photographer
Hello!
Hello! My name is Dez and I'm so glad you found me!
I have been passionate about photography since I first started high school ($10 off your next photoshoot if you can guess my age correctly!) I took a photography class my freshman year and I was hooked on the art ever since!
When I mastered my camera and all the basics, I began taking clients in 2020.. literally right when the pandemic started — crazy right?! It was such a strange time to start my business and I will forever cherish all my 2020 clients along with the unique photography experience. I’ll also remember all my mask selfies haha!
Nowadays, when I'm not taking pictures or editing, you’ll find me working as a systems engineering, chasing my little ones (4 & 1) OR exploring Arizona with the family!
Some fun facts about me:
I married my high school sweetheart (he is also my second shooter so you might meet him)
I live off of Nerds Gummy Clusters — especially when I edit your photos late at night!
I can make 97% of my clients laugh (please don't be the 3%)
One last thing to leave you with before you explore my website:
The decision to hire a creative service is a gut feeling.
Something brought you to my site today and while I can talk more about why you should hire me.. I think you are better off looking at my images, chatting with me and trusting your gut! I hope to hear from you soon! ✿

We truly loved working with Desiree! From the start, she made us feel so comfortable and confident, which meant everything to us. On our wedding day, she felt more like a friend than just our photographer. Looking through our photos brings us right back to that day. We’re so grateful for her and can't wait to use her services more!

If you haven’t already hired Dez, you’re missing out! She captured our day better than I could have ever imagined and made us feel so comfortable in the process. I feel like we totally lucked out finding her! If you’re looking for a professional, laid back photographer with a really fun, creative energy — this is your girl!

If I could give her a million stars, I would. All of our guests raved about Desiree and the photos she took. If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose her. And now, I need to come up with a reason to hire her again! 🤭 YOU WILL NOT REGRET HIRING HER. Choosing her as our photographer was the best decision we ever made for our wedding.

HOW IT WORKS
STEP 01
reach out
the first step is to get to know you, your needs and how I can help! the sooner you reach out, the sooner we can chat about your date, estimate a price and talk about my services. if we're a good fit then I'd be happy to help!
PLANNING
we're a perfect match and it’s time to plan the big day together! whether it's itinerary planning, location scouting, or simply making a list of photos needed. I am ready to help you prepare for the big day and making sure things go as smooth as possible!
STEP 02
the big day
it's the big day and your job is to enjoy it! we've done the hard work and I will make sure photos are taken care of, you focus on having a good time and marrying your best friend! Trust me, I got this!
STEP 03
photo delivery
STEP 04
a full gallery can be expected up to 6 weeks after the big day. this is because I want to make sure each photo carries meaning as well as a purposeful edit. I am a perfectionist and I don't want to give you anything less than what we envisioned!
