Northeast Ohio Family Photography

You want a photo experience that feels fun and stress-free. Maybe something that even just feels like a peaceful date with your love spending quality time together? No cheesy poses, no forced smiles, just the two of you being yourselves.

I'm here to help make that happen for you. Let's say "goodbye" to stressful, awkward photos.


For families who want a stress-free photo experience.

My passion is helping you feel comfortable and have fun during your Northeast Ohio couples photography session. That's why I take a different approach: focusing on candid moments. My sessions are about embracing the beauty of real life. 

During your session, we'll work together to capture moments between you and your love that feel natural and authentic to you. I'll give you prompts to help you interact naturally or you can focus on a favorite activity to ensure you get gorgeous photos.

"I am obsessed with our photos from Desiree! I love her style. She captures the essence of the moment in such a magical way with her documentary-style sessions!

Desiree was so easy to work with! Both her booking process and gallery website are user friendly and easy to use. She is quick in her responses and very easy to communicate with. She was SO great working with my children and I will treasure how she captured tiny moments with them."
