Orange County, California Photographer

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Come, sit, chill, have a margarita. Okay, a little about me. I am Desiree. I've been married since I was 18 to my awesome husband, Jon, and we have two kiddos. I love salsa (not dancing, the kind that goes with a chip.) Love the color red. I'm a vegan. I like to be goofy. I usually have bad roots because I can't stand to sit still in a salon chair for three hours. Let's just say it's the ombre look. :P

I live in north Orange County, California and will update when I can!

Session from this past weekend | Orange County Boudoir

Went down to Carlsbad this past weekend and did a session with the gorgeous A, she did an awesome job! It was fabulous to meet you, girl! Sneak peek time!!

See, I do have a son.

He normally hates when I take his picture but you can see his expression here like “I see you!” Then “Fine, ok and maybe even a little smile!” Haha! We met up with some friends at Laguna Beach a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post. I always post random ones of Daphne but here is Jevin! Yesterday was the last day of school for us so now I officially have a 5th grader (and Daphne is going into 1st!) Time flies!

A Wedding | Palm Springs, CA

This past weekend I went and second shot for my awesome friend Kelly Mendoza of True Bliss Photography.  (Seriously, if you need a wedding photographer you should definitely hire her.  She does beautiful work. I don’t do weddings anymore because I can’t commit to the huge amount of editing and album design time right now but I love to go second shoot with Kelly.  She is so awesome and laid back and I still get to do weddings but none of the after work! Ha! So go hire her, and maybe I’ll see you there!) Anyways, here are some shots from me from last weekend’s wedding for an adorable couple who got married at Miramonte in Indian Wells.

Kelly does a lot of “first looks” at her weddings which is awesome because it just seems so special to have the two of them alone together AND then they have time to enjoy their cocktail hour because the images are already done pre-ceremony! Win win!

Congratulations to the happy couple and thanks again, Kelly, for having me!
