I Love My Clients

"I can't express what a pleasure it was to work with Des on my Friendship Shoot. Our sunrise shoot started pretty early as you can imagine but Des's energy was so infectious that we forgot we were running on 3 hours of sleep. She was professional, friendly and great to work with. The end result was nothing short of stunning. It took me forever to select my images because they were all so beautiful. I highly recommend Des if you're in Durban. She's amazing!"
