Every Match Tells a Story. Let's Make Sure Your Player Remembers It.
Session package options starting at $65!
Whether your the parent of a player taking the field for the very first time, chasing a state championship with their club team, competing at the collegiate level or playing in a development league, every season deserves to be remembered.
I specialize in capturing authentic, true-to-color, editorial-style soccer photography that showcases the passion, determination, and unforgettable moments that make the beautiful game so meaningful. From youth recreational leagues and elite club soccer to high school and collegiate competition, I create dynamic action images that tell each athlete's story.
Proudly serving soccer families and athletes throughout Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Clayton, and the greater Triangle area of North Carolina, I create professional action photography that parents treasure for years to come and athletes proudly share with family, friends, coaches, and recruiters.
Meet the Photographer
Hey, I'm Desmond but you can call me “Dez”—the photographer behind PixByDez Photography. Based in Raleigh, I specialize in capturing youth soccer with a authentic, true-to-color editorial style that tells the story of every player, every game, and every season. My goal is simple: create timeless images that families will treasure and athletes will be proud to share for years to come.
When I'm on the sidelines, I'm looking for more than just goals and celebrations. I'm chasing the hustle, determination, emotion, and unforgettable moments that make your athlete's journey unique. I'd love the opportunity to help bookmark this chapter of their soccer story.

Booking Your Athlete Spotlight Package
Upon receiving your inquiry, I will reach out to you as soon as possible via email. I offer an optional free phone consultation if you would like? This gives us a chance to meet over the phone. If you would like to keep communications to email, that is totally fine too! Whatever is most comfortable for you.
After we have a chance to connect, I will send you a booking link which will remain active for 24hrs. If you would like to proceed forward with booking, you will complete booking through the link which includes paying the non-refundable retainer and signing the client contract. Once both are complete, your game day and time reserved!
On game day, I will meet you before the game to put a face to the voice, meet your athlete, wish them luck and head over to the field and begin capturing the warm-ups. After the game (or during half-time) I will begin sorting through the photos to decide on which are the best ones to edit and upload to your gallery for selection. This first gallery will be watermarked and you will favorite the ones you would like as part of your final gallery. Once you have made your selections, I will send a final gallery which will be in full resolution and ready for downloading and sharing with your family & friends!
Let’s chat about getting you booked!
Please allow 24-48 hours for a response. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
