des haigh blog bio picture



i am a simple girl who has tried to paint her bedroom numerous colors but thinks white suits it best. i smittened for love. i am always working on being more kind. i am known to be snacky at times. i almost always talk to strangers and wonder if they like their jobs. if i wasn't a photographer i would likely be a back up dancer or do street art, knitta style.

i might ask you to jump, i might ask you to take a deep breath, i might ask you to close your eyes. i will ask you to play and i will ask you to just be you. now let's be friends.

the haighs

this is my family, the brother’s family to be exact. yes, those are their kids all of them (well, except for the one in the helmet, she’s mine!), from the 22 year old to the 1 year old. they are loud, they are funny and they would do anything for me and my family. and they are one of the few that understand and don’t  judge my s’more addiction nor my problem with nailpolish.

p.s. this is like my favorite family session, eva. so there.

tongue in cheek (literally).

working on tongue tricks and crooked mouth perfection. don’t mind the messy face, we’ll blame it on the chocolate bunny.

this love.

i am beyond smittened…

the whole gang (almost)
