hey, I saved you a spot.

There's 110% more to me than what you'll see on social media :)

Hi, I'm Destini Serene, but you can call me Des.

I'm drawn to true-to-tone colors, genuine moments, and creating an experience that feels easy and natural. I hope you enjoy my work and the countless hours, years, and love that have gone into building it.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of creating alongside incredible people from different walks of life and from all over the world. Every story is unique, and I would be honored to tell yours.

Outside of photography, I'm a big sister to two girls I absolutely adore—they're 16 and 9 (the age gap keeps life interesting, and I love it!). I'm also a dog mom to my three-year-old mixed breed, Chloe.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me traveling, exploring new places, spending time with family, going to concerts, trying new foods, learning about different cultures, cooking, reading, or getting lost in a good arts-and-crafts project.

I believe the things we enjoy don't define who we are, but they do add beautiful layers to the people we become. Whatever brought you here, I'm truly grateful you stopped by.

I'm based in Kansas City, but if life (or the universe) leads me somewhere new, I'll happily follow.

Thank you for being here. ✮⋆˙
