My Journey
"Photography is the story I fail to put into words." - DestinPhotography has been a passion of mine since 2020, when I first discovered the power a single image has to tell a story. What began as simple curiosity quickly turned into a true passion as I dedicated myself to learning, growing, and capturing meaningful moments for friends, seniors, and local events.
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place.”
FAQ
How do you photograph People?
I believe the best photographs happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself. Before your session, I’ll be there to help you prepare with a planning guide that includes everything you need — from location details and timing to weather updates and outfit inspiration.
When the day arrives, my goal isn’t just to capture how you look, but how the moment feels. I focus on the genuine emotions, the little details, the quiet moments, and the fun, unexpected memories that make your story unique. Whether it’s calm, exciting, or a little chaotic, those are the moments that make your photos truly yours.
Where are you based out of?
I’m based in Phoenix, Arizona, and serve couples, families, and individuals throughout the Phoenix area and beyond. I’m always open to traveling to new locations and exploring places that create the perfect backdrop for your session. Whether it’s a desert sunset, mountain views, or a location that feels meaningful to you, I take the time to find spots that fit your vision while making the experience easy and enjoyable.
Do You Require a Deposit to Book?
Yes! A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date, as I can only accept a limited number of sessions and weddings.
Weddings: A 30% non-refundable retainer is due at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding day.
Engagements & Portraits: A 20% non-refundable retainer is due when booking your session, with the remaining balance due on the day of your session.
Once your retainer is received and your contract is signed, your date is officially reserved!
When will we get our photos?
You’ll receive a private online gallery filled with your fully edited photos within 2 weeks of your session. I take the time to carefully select and edit each image so your final gallery feels complete, intentional, and true to your experience. From there, you can download, share, and enjoy your photos wherever you are.
How many pictures will we receive?
The number of photos you receive depends on your session type, package, and the moments we capture. Most engagement and portrait sessions include around 50-150 fully edited images, while wedding galleries typically include 300-350 fully edited images.
Every image in your gallery is carefully selected and edited with intention. My goal is not just to deliver a large number of photos, but to provide a collection of meaningful images that tell your story, capture your personality, and preserve the moments you’ll want to remember for years to come.
