Roman is 3- how cute is this little guy?

March 25, 2009

We had the opportunity to create images documenting Roman at 3 years of age.  We captured all sides of his personality during this session.  He has a serious side as well as a fun, playful side.  I chased him around the studio and we flew like airplanes outside.  I had a great time working with Roman and his parents.  I love being able to capture such a wide variety of expressions!

I wanted to include a few more images of my friend Marcy’s family.  The first post were the images we did of her husband and son in his custom saddle shop, these are some other images we created on their ranch that day.

This is my good friend Marcy’s husband and her little cowboy.  Marcy owns Old Town Art & Framery and does all of the studios framing.  Her husband Marc is a custom saddle maker (http://www.marcoliversaddlery.com), and Caden help’s out a lot.  We wanted to createa portrait of the two of them together that represented their lifestyle out on the ranch…

Hannah turns four!

March 12, 2009

Hannah was a true wild child.  She had a lot of personality to say the least.  I had fun chasing her around and trying to keep up!

Jill Robinson — Wow! So impressed with Desiree's ability to capture the moment with a subject that moves the speed of light. I felt not only that she was she an amazing photographer, but also able to entertain and keep Hannah, an energetic 4 year old, interested and participating in the process the entire time. I would without any hesitation recommend Desiree.   ( March 12, 2009 @ 2:34 pm )

Amy — Anyone that can capture a smile in the flurry of movement of my child is an impressive photographer! I'm especially impressed by how many pictures there were, to keep her attention for that many photos took a lot of patience! These are by far the best pictures ever taken of Hannah!   ( March 13, 2009 @ 11:39 am )

Rob — Glad to have such beautiful pictures of my beautiful girl. The color and quality of the photos is amazing...truly the best I've ever seen.   ( March 13, 2009 @ 2:45 pm )

Urban Kids San Diego

March 6, 2009

Sean is one of the coolest kids I’ve ever photographed.  I have been photographing him his whole life, so he is used to me and the camera- and he knows how to work it!  He goes a mile a minute, and literally the kid never stops talking or telling stories.  I absolutely love photographing him every time, never a dull moment!

Pat Jensen — Desi makes her subjects so comfortable that she can capture beautiful images even when you dont photograph well like me. Sean is a 3 year old boy who can not sit still and yet Desi always gets amazing pictures of him. I will never waste my time and money on any other photographer. Desi is a guarantee.   ( March 7, 2009 @ 9:56 am )

Linda — Absolutely, the most gorgeous child I have ever seen. Amazing how he "works the camera" !!!   ( March 7, 2009 @ 5:43 pm )
