Sounds incredible, right?
Incredibly interesting.
Incredibly easy.
Incredibly fun (for everyone, even the photo-grumps in your family).
And of course, incredible, memorable family photos.
But you haven’t heard of this type of photography, you have
so many questions!
What will these photos actually look like?
How does this logistically work for my family?
How much does this cost?
Are you wondering if this is really “a thing”?
ABSOLUTELY! Families all over the world have transformed their concept of what family photographs should be, and they LOVE it!

We loved having Desiree come and take our son’s newborn photos. She came to our home days after he was born and was respectful and patient as we not only handled our new little guy but also as we attended to his big sisters. We never felt rushed and she kept the big sisters engage and excited. We walked away with beautiful photos we could look back to for years and years.
Hi there, I’m Desiree
It can be a mental leap - inviting a family photographer (a.k.a., stranger) to spend time with your family, doing your real family things, you know…the things that can get a little hairy sometimes. Let me go first…Click here to learn more about me, and why I’m so invested in photographing families as they really are. Rest assured, the messier things get the more excited I am to create meaningful photographs for your family…the ones that will make you laugh, cry, maybe even both.
See how beautiful your family is through my eyes,
how your “ordinary” is the key to making meaningful and extraordinary photos.
