Being “Photogenic” Isn’t a Trait, It’s a Skill — and You Learn It Here
Most people who walk into my studio say the same thing: “I’m not photogenic.”
That’s never been the problem.
Confidence on camera is learned through guidance, intention, and an experience designed around you.
That’s exactly what happens here.

Me, at my "50s-look" photoshoot
Hi, I am Désirée,
I’m a portrait photographer, a guide, and someone who deeply believes that every person carries beauty worth preserving.
My work isn’t about trends or quick sessions.
It’s about helping you see yourself — sometimes for the first time — and creating portraits that hold meaning long after the moment has passed.
Whether you’re here for a powerful professional image, a Red Carpet experience, or to preserve a fleeting chapter through dance, you’re in the right place.
What Brings You Here?
People come to my studio for different reasons — but they usually fall into one of these paths:
Headshots & Branding
For professionals who want their image to match their message
Your headshot isn’t just a photo — it’s a first impression, a signal, a statement.
Through guided sessions and brand clarity, we create images that feel aligned, confident, and intentional — not generic.

Red Carpet Portraits
A luxury portrait experience — just for you
This is about visibility, presence, and honouring who you are now.
You don’t need a reason beyond wanting this moment to be about you.
You’ll be guided, styled, and photographed with care — and leave with portraits that feel timeless, not fleeting.
Dance Portraits
Preserving movement, discipline, and a moment in time
Dance portraits go beyond recital photos.
They capture form, strength, emotion, and the artistry that hours of dedication create.
Whether for a dancer or a parent preserving this chapter, these sessions are about respect for the craft — and images that feel cinematic and lasting.

The Experience (At a Glance)
Every session — regardless of type — is guided, intentional, and calm.
You are never left wondering what to do or how to look.
If you’d like a detailed walkthrough of the process, you can find it here:
Not Ready Yet?
That’s perfectly okay.
If you want to start gently — without committing to a session — my Style Guide to the Red Carpet helps you feel confident, camera-ready, and aligned with how you want to show up.

Or, when it feels right:
Portraits aren’t about vanity. They’re about remembering who you were — and how it felt.
