Hello & Welcome!

My name is Dez and I'm so glad you found my website! First impressions matter, and I'm hoping that by reading this. you will gain a better understanding of who I am and why I should be your photographer!

First things first, I have been practicing 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 have been hooked on the craft 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 a business but I will forever remember all my 2020 clients and my mask selfies haha.

Nowadays, when I'm not taking pictures or editing, I'm chasing my little girls (4 & 1) OR working my full time job as an Engineer. Some fun facts about me:

  • I married my high school sweetheart (he is also my assistant)

  • I live off of Nerds Gummy Clusters when I edit photos late at night

  • I can make 97% of my clients laugh (please don't be the 3% haha)

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 website and while I can talk more about why you should hire me, I think you are better off looking at my images and letting them speak for themselves! Trust your instincts with this decision and I hope to hear from you!

  • 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.
