About

D on the Shots

I'm Deserae — the face behind "DONTHESHOTS"

Photography has always been more than a job for me — it's the thing I genuinely love. There's nothing like the moment behind the lens when someone stops posing and just is — laughing, crying, dancing, whatever it is — and you catch it. That's what keeps me chasing this work.

That love is what shaped DontheShots. Every session, every event, comes from wanting people to feel truly seen in their biggest moments — the milestones tied to growth, new beginnings, and everything in between. College years teach you that the moments people remember most aren't the polished ones — they're the candid laughs, the nervous excitement, the people around you. I've carried that with me into everything I shoot, whether it's a portrait, a graduation, or a full event.

That passion is why we didn't stop at photography. Our photo booth and video guestbook experiences come from the same place — the belief that a great event isn't just about the photos, it's about giving your guests a moment they actually want to be part of. Whether I'm behind the camera or setting up the booth, it's all in service of the same thing: capturing the real, unscripted parts of your celebration that you'll want to look back on for years.

Let us be a part of your moment.
