Des was truly amazing. She knew exactly what we needed from the start. Communication was easy, and she made sure everyone was aligned from day 1.

I could not recommend Des enough.

It's been a pleasure working with Des. Des takes the time to truly listen and understand your vision and brings a thoughtful and collaborative approach to every stage of the process. I really value her opinion and creative expertise and feel this really helps to ensure we deliver the best content and shoot experience on the day.

I look forward to working together again soon!

Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer but she brings the best energy and has a true understanding of community and the wellness space. She captured the exact images we wanted and got the vibe check - instantly. Approachability, collaborative attitude, and a bend and flex approach (solution solved) when things may not go exactly as planned on set. She adapts gracefully and again I can speak on behave of the arc family that we truly have so much love and appreciation for her!

Des captured our 5-night Marrakech Retreat in 2024 and is a true professional. Right from the first conversation, I knew she would capture the energy of the retreat. She was easy to work with, very relaxed yet incredibly focused. We will always book Des for future retreats as she captured the most beautiful content yet gave the students space on the retreat too! We love you Des!!

I had never done anything like this before, and booking something like this felt like a huge investment of both time and money. I didn’t have a clue where to start. But the discovery call changed everything—it turned my nerves into excitement and made me feel completely at ease. I’ve learned so much from the entire experience and couldn’t be happier with the images.

I had wanted to work with Des for a while having heard amazing feedback from a couple of friends but due to my struggles with self-image and body dysmorphia, I delayed updating my content for about 4 years. From our very first call, Des put me completely at ease and she quickly understood the brief. We co-created a mood board which embodied a true sense of confidence and a balance of strength and grace. The shoot day itself was incredibly fun and I have never felt so calm when having my photo taken.

I instantly felt at ease throughout our session and felt Des captured me so honestly despite being a nervous person behind the camera.

Des has the most wonderful ability to make you feel totally at ease from the moment you arrive and is able to find magic in small moments. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Des is a magic maker through her consistently excellent photography work. It is in the way she captures the unseen beyond technical excellence. Her works make you feel. Always a wonderful listener, Des is open and keen towards collaborative processes and trying out new ideas. There's really no one I trust more to bring to life my creative visions.
