A Modern Twist on School Photography

Displaying a child’s photo at home fosters feelings of love and belonging. At Desertbloom Photography, we focus on capturing the true essence of your child in every shot. It’s the greatest joy when parents share how much they treasure the images we create for them..
— Carol Davis, Owner of Desertbloom Photography

Desertbloom Photography reimagines the traditional school photo experience, offering a fresh, modern approach that feels lighthearted and fun for children. We create a relaxed atmosphere where genuine expressions shine through, resulting in timeless portraits that families will treasure.

Our aesthetic is minimalist, warm, and authentic. With a simple backdrop and a single light source, we craft images that embody our artistic vision. Each child is featured in a private online gallery with a selection of images, both in color and black & white.

We take our time with every student—there’s no rush. Smiles aren’t required; instead, we focus on connecting with each child, offering encouragement and making them feel comfortable in front of the camera. We're not just about snapping one picture and moving on.

BLOOMING TESTIMONIALS

Our school photo day was a refreshing experience! Our staff appreciated Desertbloom handling everything, from sending out emails to online ordering. I never knew school photo day could be so easy!
— Jennifer P, school administrator
We really appreciate your personal assistance on things like this, big photo studios don’t even respond to our email requests or know how to get us what we really need. You are a lifesaver.
— Elizabeth L., school administrator
Carol has taken school pictures for our homeschool group for many years. She is so personable with the kids and loves to capture their shining personalities!. Don’t expect one-shot-and-done-type of photography as she offers multiple poses of each child.
— Eileen B, Director
“I love these photos!. You just won a client for life and all the referrals I can give! I’m one happy parent!
— Jen B, parent
OMGosh...what an amazing experience with this photographer! Well done! From the on-site prepper getting the kids ready for their photos to the online galleries to the pics themselves. I just checked out my kids’ pics online and they look awesome!
— Catherine C, Parent
I’m loving my son’s pics! Looks like professional headshots rather than just boring school photos. Thank you!
— Frank P, Parent
Just a quick ‘Thank You’ for the quality of pictures you took of my children for their school photos. They are the best pictures anyone has managed to take of them and I hope the school continues to utilize your business for all future projects.
