Desiree made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and could really capture my personality and character in each photo.  With her personality and creativity she is able to explore so many ways to make each photo and session special and unique.

Desiree was knowledgeable when it came to poses and technique and made sure my daughter was comfortable and confident from beginning to end.  The images she produced were absolutely breathtaking and captured my daughter's strongest features. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!​
