Lifestyle Family &Newborn Photographer
Benton City, Wa & Surrounding areas
Hello, I'm Deserae but you can call me Desi.
I believe in lifelong love, taking the road less traveled, creating new memories and the emotions being forever frozen though the art of photography.
When I'm not with our amazing clients, you can find me cuddled up on the couch watching movies with my kids and husband, scrolling TikTok, checking out a new location, or simply enjoying a not so quiet evening at home.
Simply put — we love, love

'Desi did a wonderful job on our family photos! Even with having one very fussy toddler to photograph, she was patient and upbeat and managed to get some great shots, even between the tears.
fyi- toddler was crying because she wanted Mac and cheese. We got our pictures back in a very timely manner and they all looked wonderful!!!'

Desi from Backwoods Photography is a total rockstar! I recently had both a branding shoot and a family shoot with her, and I'm still obsessed with the photos. She has an incredible talent for capturing genuine moments and making everyone feel relaxed in front of the camera. Desi’s professionalism and creativity made the entire experience so much fun. I can’t recommend her enough!

"I have done just about every milestone in my family's life with Desi, She always makes me feel comfortable in front of the camera, she helps us relax and makes sure we have a good time, and it isn't awkward. Desi always gets the photos back to us within a timely manner and I couldn't thank her enough for the memories she has captured for me throughout the years."

I want to start off by saying that Desi is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and patient. She checked on me while we waited patiently for baby to move her way down. I ended up having to go to the hospital after many many hours of being in labor. Once things seemed to have kicked in, I told her to head over. She brought us a gift, which we loved everything. She was quiet and out of the way. I would forget she was there at times. She made me feel very comfortable as I labored forever. She took pictures of my support team helping me and of the room.
They told us again that I was still not dilating the way I should be. Desi waited the whole time. I then got a C-section. She gave us the option to come back the next day knowing how emotional I was from my c-section. The next day she came back.
She then took the pictures of us and baby.
We got so many pictures of during labor and after, I loved them all.
She captured such perfect moments. ❤️

Honestly we got lucky with Desi. She captures in the moment photos and those are by far my favorite. She was also very Patient with our dogs who did not want to cooperate
