NOSTALGIC PHOTOGRAPHER WHO BELIEVES YOUR PHOTOS SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL SOMETHING.
I’VE ALWAYS LOVED THE WAY A PHOTOGRAPH CAN BRING YOU BACK TO EXACTLY HOW SOMETHING FELT.
The laughter you can almost hear. The kind of moments that somehow become more meaningful every time you look back.
I believe that:
YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS AND BEING FULLY THERE FOR THE DAY.
HI, I’M DES
A Maine photographer who’ll fix the flyaway, give you direction when you need it, and quietly disappear when you don’t.
I picked up my first camera in high school, but photography really became something more for me in 2020. What started as something I simply loved grew into the thing I couldn’t imagine not doing, and in 2025, I took the terrifying leap into doing it full-time. It was one of the scariest decisions I’ve made, and easily one of the best.
Outside of photography, I’m a major homebody who somehow also wants to see absolutely everything. Most days you’ll find me at home with my dogs, Sage and Oakley, but give me an excuse to go somewhere new and I’m there. I love camping and fishing with my boyfriend, trying a restaurant I’ve never been to, wandering around Portland, being anywhere near the coast, and dreaming about all the places I haven’t traveled to yet. When I’m home, there’s a very good chance I’m halfway through a crime documentary or pretending I don’t love a ridiculous dating show.
