Experience
Working with Desiree
I'm a fantasy portrait photographer with a background steeped in years of storytelling through reading and gaming. Every session is a chance to experiment with light, test new techniques, and push my creative boundaries. I bring fresh energy and genuine excitement to every shoot, and I'm building something distinctly my own rather than following a formula.
My background in fantasy and sci-fi storytelling heavily influences how I approach photography. I don't just take pictures, I create scenes, moments, and narratives. I think about composition the way a fantasy author thinks about world-building, and that perspective shapes everything from location scouting to how I direct my subjects.
I bring real dedication and vision to this work. I've spent countless hours studying light, refining editing techniques to achieve that moody and warm aesthetic, and sharpening my eye for what makes an image feel magical rather than just pretty. That hunger to keep improving goes into every single session.

FAQ
01. Where do we shoot?
I work primarily entirely outdoors in natural settings—forests, fields, beaches, abandoned places, anywhere with good light and atmosphere. I'll help you choose a location that fits the vibe you're going for.
 
02. What if the weather is bad?
 
We'll reschedule if it's unsafe, but honestly, moody weather often makes for the best photos. A little mist or dramatic clouds? Perfect.
 
03. Can I bring props or a costume?
 
Absolutely! Props, cloaks, crowns, swords—bring whatever helps you feel like a character. I love when people get creative! I also have a variety of props and accessories that you can use depending on what the vibe is!
 
04. When will I get my photos?
 
Sneak peeks generally arrive with in 48 hours, and a full gallery within in a week of the shoot for my standard sessions. For other types of sessions timings may vary, reach out for any questions on this!
