Having grown up with a camera in hand, Désirée has been practicing photography for the better part of her life, turning pro in 2017. Shooting conferences and fashion shows by day; galas, parties, and live shows by night; and portraits and headshots in between, Désirée has a knack for making people feel at ease whatever the setting, always capturing something special and unique to the individual, no matter how unsure they may feel in front of the camera. Her striking images have appeared in Rocket Magazine, Retro Lovely, Bombshell Magazine, Time Out, The Phoblographer, and she has been featured in The Queens Gazette.

April 13, 2026Désirée was an absolute joy to work with. She shot my 40th birthday party and absolutely nailed it.
She showed up early, blended right into the crowd, and somehow managed to capture every real, heartfelt moment without anyone even noticing the camera. The photos are gorgeous — creative, vibrant, and full of personality.
Booking was easy, communication was great, and I was happy with the final results, would hire again in a heartbeat!

Hiring Désirée as your photographer, you can be assured of clear communication and expectations, personalized collaboration, friendly professionalism, and creative artistry. Having begun her career running multi-million dollar retail stores, her foundation is providing genuinely personalized customer service while maintaining operational excellence, and she brings those same skillsets to her business, whether shooting a 10 hour conference, a 1200 person gala, or a one-on-one headshot shoot. She’s known just as much for her mastery of light as she is for how she makes clients feel, and there’s a reason clients come back over and over again for more.
As the house photographer for The Glasshouse venues in Manhattan since 2021, Désirée has shot over 200 events including:
-Fundraising Galas like City Harvest, United Way, God’s Love We Deliver, The Fashion Scholarship Fund, and Lambda Legal, Two Ten Foundation
-Fashion shows for LIM and Parsons
-Corporate conferences such as SKIFT, Capgemini, Content Square, CeraVe, Nespresso
-Industry Showcases and Product Launches like Strong NY, James Suckling Wines, Bose, The Inkey List, Cherry Bombe Magazine
-A variety of social events including weddings, Mitzvahs, birthday parties
In Nightlife, Désirée is a go-to photographer for a variety of burlesque shows throughout the city including Hotsy Totsy and Sins&Stardust as well as The Triad Theater.
As accomplished as she is with event photography, portrait photography is her favorite type of collaboration, and she is equally at home shooting with seasoned burlesque and drag performers as she is people who’ve never had a professional photo taken and is always seeking new opportunities and partnerships.
