Karen — Eight years ago, after my son was born, I was at a friend's house and she had the most gorgeous portrait wall of her children (photography by Desiree!). I immediately knew I wanted similar photos taken of my son. Since that time, we've had several sessions with Desiree (and we've had a daughter!) and now I also have an amazing portrait wall of my children at all different ages and stages. As a parent, it truly is one of my most valuable possessions. The thing I admire most about her style is the natural and candid moments that she captures. There is nothing forced or posed. She is extremely patient and relaxed with the kids (and parents!). Because of this I know that she will always get the best pictures. A session with Desiree never feels rushed or stressful. It's truly amazing the shots that she captures! She never disappoints. I would recommend Desiree to anyone with children. I just wish we knew her before our wedding because her wedding shots are fantastic, too!   ( March 12, 2010 @ 1:37 pm )
