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!

Sneak Peek | Kansas City

I just got back from my last city on the travel schedule and what a fun city to end with! Everyone did so awesome and was so fun and friendly!  I know I already said this on my Facebook page but I wanted to say it here too: THANK YOU! I’ve had a great time traveling all over this past year and have met amazing people along the way! An extra big thank you to my clients, some of which had to arrange for babysitters, drive hours to their sessions, take a day off work, make overnight arrangements, and even flying to meet me at certain locations!  I am totally flattered by that and really appreciate the great amount of efforts you have all made! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Now onto the sneak peeks! Here is a beauty that I had a blast with.  Smooch, girl! You are awesome!

Boudoir Sneak Peek | Back from Chicago

Finally, a blog post from Desiree! I am playing catch up! My brother Levi and his wife Kelsey (who quite a few of you have had your makeup done by) had a beautiful baby girl yesterday.  She is gorgeous, congrats to them!

Got home from Chicago last week, had a fabulous time there. Met some great people and stayed at the gorgeous Elysian hotel. Now……onto one of the hotties!

We are all moved | summer + my kids

We are all moved and internet hooked up and all of that good stuff! All caught up on emails even, woot woot!  It’s a HOT one here this weekend, here are a few of my kiddos playing outside tonight. They are getting so big. As of Thursday I will have a 4th grader and a kindergartner! Kindergarten is all day here and this will be the first time in nine years that I don’t have a kiddo here with me during the weekday, it’s going to be weird. Maybe I will be caught up on work for once……OR mimosa breakfast time (ha, kidding!)

I love these popsicle molds. $3.99 from Fresh and Easy. I think I need to make some Ciroc Coconut Vodka + pineapple juice ones for mama. ;)

A + M | Los Angeles Couple Photographer

This was a fun session, you guys are awesome! I haven’t been much outside of hotel rooms lately so it was fun to go outdoors and do a couple session with this great (and adorable!) couple! Aren’t they cute? Ahh, love!

P.S.  I am moving officially tonight! Have a great weekend everyone!
