  • "Desmond is such an open-minded and talented individual and I 100% recommend shooting with him. I have been working with him for several years and each experience has been absolutely amazing. I have always been so impressed with the amount of passion and effort he puts into his work. When shooting and editing images, Desmond consistently ensures that his clients are satisfied. Additionally, he genuinely cares about his clients and is willing to accommodate to their needs during shoots. Desmond is definitely one of my favorite photographers to shoot with because not only does he create a safe space for his models, he also encourages creativity to flow!"

  • "Dez was awesome to work with for portraits! Prompt communication & extremely professional execution. His photos speak for themselves - really highly recommend!"

  • "My daughter was a model, and began doing TFP work with Desmond whe was about 16. He always conducted himself in a professional manner, and I felt very comfortable with him photographing her. He took stunning photos of her that I will always treasure. I recently hired him to do her college graduation photos, and I could not be more pleased with how they turned out. He also did some photos last year of my son who is on the autism spectrum. My son is not that comfortable in front of the camera, but Desmond was very patient and managed to capture some great shots of him. I highly recommend him for his skill and professionalism"

  • "Everything about the experience and process was stress free and went smoothly. Dez was professional, intentional, and detail oriented. He comes to the shoot prepared with items such as double sided tape, link rollers and even graciously brought a bottle to pop for the graduation shoot. It exceeded my expectations, I recommend him!"
