"I cannot recommend Desiree enough as a photographer! She made my husband and I feel immediately at ease during a recent couples photoshoot - we felt as if we were on a fun date and forgot someone was following behind with a lens. The photos were incredible- we felt they captured our personality and love- and had the stunning backdrop of a lavender field! To that point, she has plenty of ideas for local locations that are creative and scenic. We have many photos from the shoot hanging in our home."

I'm based in Stow, Ohio, and I do travel.
Travel fees are included within 40 miles of Stow, Ohio.
I recommend starting to book around 1 month out so we can ensure there is enough time to secure your preferred locations and activities. Running on a shorter time frame? No worries, just reach out and we can start planning ASAP!
This could look like you going on a date in an art museum, walking through the aquarium together, having a romantic picnic, capturing board game night... in short, it can be anything you want it to be! I'll just be hanging out with y'all and taking your photos as you have fun!
As we are planning your session, we will think through some back up locations and activities in case of inclement weather. If it is just sprinkling day of, we can likely continue on as normal. In case of more severe weather, we will work together to pivot.
Yes, I am happy to go on an adventure with you!
Yes! Depending on the location of your session, you can bring your pet(s) along for the fun! You'll just want to be aware of any leash laws or similar policies.
