Hi! I am Desiree…. YOUR….

Photographer in Boise Idaho


Welcome to the page about me. I'm the chica behind the camera, a passionate and versatile professional, combining my expertise in photography and graphic design to capture moments with absolute quality. If I'm being completely transparent, my specialty spans everything in photography except birth photography. What truly ignites my creative fire are engagements, weddings, families, maternity, and newborns.

Beyond the lens and design software, you'll find me exploring, traveling, hiking, and immersing myself in landscape photography. I'm genuinely fascinated by the beauty of this world, considering God an amazing artist.

With 12 years as a professional Photographer in Boise Idaho and 4 years as a graphic designer, I've found my calling in these art forms. I love utilizing my skills to capture breathtaking photos. I strive for perfection in each photograph, devoting time to ensure every image tells a specific story or evokes authentic feelings.

Photography, for me, is an emotional experience, an exploration of feelings and moments that make me who I am. My approach may seem a bit unconventional, but it's genuine and the best way to describe my work philosophy.

Based in Boise, Idaho, I love photographing anything amid the breathtaking scenery of the Treasure Valley. Photography, to me, is a journey of discovery, a way to capture and stir up emotions from unique moments. It's an experience that allows us to understand, learn, and practice the freedom of being oneself, loving oneself, the world, and its people.

My commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in my education and mentorship under industry leaders like Sue Bryce, Tara Lesher, and Katelyn James. Winning several photographic awards has been a source of pride, pushing me to provide the best possible experience for my clients.

I can't wait to be part of your photographic journey.

With Love,

Desiree

A Little More About Me! (:

Life's essence revolves around five things for me: Jesus, God, family, fur babies, and continuous personal growth. Also, I am a proud auntie (tia) to Emiliano and Kaylayana, as well as a cat whisperer (or so I like to think!).

Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, with a military brat background, I've traveled extensively. Future plans include becoming a trauma-informed life coach. A self-proclaimed plant-aholic, cat momma, Christian hippie (minus the drugs), and a lover of all things fun and silly, I enjoy road trips and good times. I have an unconditional love for all people.

In my free time, I love to travel, take photos, hike, BBQ, write, and send countless memes. My favorite colors are blue and maroon, and my favorite foods include Fettuccine Alfredo, Tacos, Lays Baked Jalapeno chips, or Hot Cheetos and a delicious Mac and Cheese pizza from The Front Door in downtown Boise. Binge-watching shows is my jam, with favorites like The Chosen, Mindhunters, Blacklist, and Warrior Nun.

The most triumphant time in my life was surviving cancer and overcoming divorce and addiction. I also take immense pride in being a Women Owned and Latina based business.
