What People Are Saying

  • We had the absolute best experience with our family photos. From start to finish, the process was easy, relaxed, and genuinely fun. She was made everyone feel comfortable, and somehow captured both the chaos and the love perfectly. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined and are something we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommend!

  • We were in Scottsdale for a family vacation and wanted photos. She was so personable putting us all at ease (even the adult children who were humoring their mother for photos). The photographs are AMAZING! I’m so thankful she was able to capture exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend her and wish she was near our home in CA as I’d use her again and again.

  • We were visiting phoenix and took a shot finding someone from the area and are so happy with our photos. Desiree was punctual, super sweet/kind and accommodating with our small children, as well as my elderly parents. She knew exactly what to shoot and when — and captured the perfect sunset shots of my family. Couldn’t recommend her more!

  • I like to use several styles of photography:

    • candids ~ most common during wedding receptions

    • documentary style ~ most common during wedding ceremonies

    • traditional photos ~ most common during family photos

    more than anything I tend to focus my energy towards creating something natural, genuine, well lit and overall happy!

    when editing, I really focus on bringing out earthy tones and the true colors of the day/night.
