Reviews
Excellent personality, knew what we wanted and set about fulfilling our wishes without delay. He became a good friend.
Our family really enjoyed this photo session at our home. There were eight family members who ranged in age from 4 months through 80 years, ranged in skin tone from very pale through deep chocolate, and asked for many different photo combinations. Mr. McIntyre remained calm, patient, and fun through the whole process. We're happy with the photos and will definitely invite him back when we need more.
While we were unable to schedule, he was very kind and responded quickly.
Amazing photographer! Excellent quality! Great price! Worked with us to meet all of our needs and was flexible with our schedule. Very grateful for the work he did for us. Thank you!
Had a good time during photo shoot. Very funny and laid back gentleman with good eye for details. Would work with him again!
He took headshots for my 14 yr old daughter and they were amazing. He coached her through how to pose, hold her head, varying smiles and they turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend him for any photo shoot.
I am so excited to be working with Desmond!! His work is amazing, he’s very professional, honest, quick to respond, fair prices and simply put...a great guy! I was so worried about finding a photographer for my wedding, but after contacting Desmond, I’m completely confident that he will capture my special day like no one else!! Can’t wait for this day!!!
Just received my shots from today's session and I'm so pleased! Desmond's studio space was a lot of fun and he was fantastic to work with...a great balance of being laid back and directive at the same time. I'm going to have a difficult time narrowing down which photos to use because I have so many shots that are on point!
Very positive experience and beautiful pictures.
Such great work and truly cares about you and your opinion! Very talented and fun to work with!
An absolute pleasure to speak with and has a wonderful way of talking us through everything!
