Desiree Priest

chattanooga, tn

I fell in love with photography because life is ever changing and it seems the older we get, the faster moments pass us by! But the only way to freeze moments in time and relive them over & over, is through photos.

Time is truly a thief and when you have kids, I think it starts moving in 2x speed lol my goal is to capture all those little details of whatever season of life you're in that you don't want to forget! 

We don't do stiff and awkward prom photos around here! We create genuine MOMENTS to capture through movement.

Those little tiny hands and how they hold your finger or that gummy smile and those leg rolls. 

How the love of your life looks at you during your engagement session. With so much admiration.

Photos to announce to the world that your little family is growing maybe for the first, second, or third time! But in that moment it's still your little secret.

Or the pure bliss that comes after you finally ask her to marry you & you're wrapped up in each others arms in your own little world! 

Those little details, THOSE are the moments to capture. The ones you'll want to relive again & again for years to come!


Here to capture every season 

my why

Hey there! I'm Desiree. Just a Florida girl who moved to Chattanooga, TN 8 years ago & met the love of my life! We've been together almost 7 years & have the worlds fluffiest dog, charlie lol We also just welcomed our first child a beautiful baby boy, Micah, in August '23! They are my entire world & the inspiration for why I do what I do - I never want to miss a moment to capture & relive over & over!

First and foremost, I love Jesus! I couldn't do any of this (or anything) without Him. He truly saved & transformed my entire life and I will forever be grateful & sing His praises! 

I also love a good chai latte, fall weather, car rides with these guys, some good food! The beach (forever a fl girl lol), romantic comedies, and being at home (where's my introverts?!) lol 

I truly LOVE what I do because I have met so many incredible people while documenting their stories & some even turned into beautiful friendships that I couldn't imagine life without! I want to know YOU, a little bit about your story & truly capture those details & your personality. Every time you look back at your photos I want you to feel the warmth of that season again & smile every time!

Are you ready to freeze a moment in time?!


I couldn't do it without them.
