ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

DESMONE GAMBRELL-CLAXTON
Photography has always been my way of telling stories. It’s how I connect with people, capture emotion, and turn precious moments into something timeless. From the moment I picked up a camera as a little girl, I knew this was more than just a hobby—it was a calling. I became the family photographer early on, and that natural love for documenting life eventually blossomed into a full-blown creative business.
I have a nomadic soul and a deep love for travel, which has allowed me to photograph incredible people and places all over the country—Connecticut, New York, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Austin, Miami, and even the stunning Palo Duro Canyon to name a few. Each location adds a new chapter to the stories I get to help tell, and I bring that sense of wonder and intention to every session.
With a Master’s in Business Administration and a career rooted in marketing and advertising, I merge strategy with creativity. My experience spans digital media, print, out-of-home campaigns, in-store merchandising, and national TV and radio planning. Having a business-savvy background helps me approach photography with a unique edge—whether I’m capturing your brand or your most meaningful milestones.
I believe every person has a story worth telling, and I’d love to help you tell yours—authentically, beautifully, and boldly.
