The girl with the red cameras, the red backpack, the red branding...

Hi I'm Desiree
and I am a full-time traveling photographer

Since November 2019, I’ve been living this fulfilled life of being a full-time professional photographer with my 2 red cameras.

In September of 2019, I started Photos By Dee.
In November 2021, I stepped down as a supervisor in my corporate job, jumped on a plane to Oregon and attended my 1st photography retreat. I was ready to fully commit to chasing love stories.
In 2023, I am living this DREAM!

I studied in New York for 4 years & lived in Europe for 4 months so my obsession with traveling + photography started pretty young.

BESIDES photographing + traveling, you can catch me playing in the sun with my super cool pup or sharing something new I learned with my husband. Talking about things I love… Astrology, self-help books + hanging out at coffee shops are my jam.

,

Loving people has been a part of me since forever...

leading with love has always been my strength + weakness in this lifetime.

Maybe we can blame astrology? (Shoutout to all the Pisces out thereeeee!)

I wouldn’t change a damn thing about it.

This is it... 

Being a professional photographer — I LOVE my “job”.
I love the families I meet (and who often return).
I love the whole process of a wedding -- being surrounded by people who came together witness LOVE.
I love seeing my couple smile and giggle, after they told me "please pose us, we are awkward!"
Sounds crazy to fall in love with my couples, or the kiddos I photograph, or the badass lady I took headshots of— but it’s me.
It circles back to my brand color being RED.
Red means love, at least to me.

Fun-fact: I fall in love with people, places, things VERY quickly.
I believe love is the most powerful thing in this world and I run my business based off the heart.

my whole heart poured into creating & capturing for you.

Making       
together is kind of my thing...
