I've got an old soul with a baby face, and a burning fire to capture your unique story. You can find me in Northern California, surrounded by our iconic rolling hills, just trying my damndest to make my dreams come true! I can help dress y'all to the nines in the cutest getups, but most days you'll find me in an old rodeo or drag race event tee, a pair of well worn jeans, and my favorite pair of checkered vans. My love for random road trips and adventures far + wide often times ignite new location ideas to photograph pretty people in. I can't tell y'all how many times I have said "oh my gosh, I could totally do a photoshoot here" as we drove past a random field on the side of the road. I'm the girl who has a notebook by her pillow, sticky note lists all over the house, a spreadsheet for every occasion, and yet still living in "organized chaos" because well, I'm a creative at heart. I want to push boundaries, try every single new idea that pops into my head, capture breathtaking photographs,
have a boat load of fun, create create create.

My home base is here in California, but I travel often with my camera in hand to Nevada, Idaho, Texas and the rest of the USA making memories and capturing wildly in love people. I've got a thing for western + rustic weddings and out of the box elopements, but I do love me some PDA filled couple's sessions, bold + beautiful boudoir sessions, and maternity sessions celebrating the miracle of a new babe. I'm here for the people that love love, yummy bbq + a cocktail, and good ole fun; for those that are building their legacy and want it to be shown off beautifully through photographs for years and years. I promise to be your newest down to earth friend, show ya a good time, and make you feel comfortable in front of my lens.

I can back up any trailer, all thanks to my dad handing me his truck keys on my 13th birthday and telling me to "figure it out kid"

My hair in a pony tail, always, but add a scrunchie to throw in some spice!

I am sentimental as all get out; I truly cherish simple times with people that matter the most, making memories that last us a lifetime.

"If you're looking for a photographer that will make you feel super comfortable in front of the camera, Desirae is your girl! I absolutely love very single photo she took of us and she gives the perfect amount of direction on how to pose. Not only is she personable, sweet and great at what she does but her turnaround time for photos was so so quick. I'd give her 10 stars if I could"
Heather D.
"Desirae was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. Her eye for detail is insane! Our photos came out better than I could have ever imagined; I was absolutely speechless looking through them all and know they will be ones we appreciate forever. Thank you so much Desirae, you are truly the best of the best!"
TORI A.
"I've never worked with a photographer as talented, professional and down to earth as Desirae! She truly loves what she does and it's so clearly displayed in person and in her work product. She made it such a fun experience for all of us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend her for all of your photography needs."
