D&orfs Photography central Iowa photographer based in ames. capturing love one click at a time. Hi! Let me introduce myself to you - my name is Destri (pronunciation: des-tree).
(252)

I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia and moved to the United States in 1999 to pursue my bachelor degree in Graphic Design from Iowa State University (ISU). Why Iowa? Yeah, everyone asked me that (back then and even now!). My brother was an Electrical Engineering student at ISU at that time, so it was easier for my mom to “ship” me here too . Anyway, as you can see in my portfolio tab, my

photography style is about color and capturing those bright and cheerful, candid moments. I do love black and white photography, but I personally believe that black and white is an easy way out. ANYTHING can look pretty when you turn it into black and white. I love colors. I love chasing kids and making them giggle and laugh. Capturing their real spirit during their happy moments is my goal. I will do my best to make sure your photo session time is full of fun, painless and free of meltdowns . Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. STUDIO ADDRESS:
Beedle Dr
Ames, IA 50014


Best Regards,

Madison & Taylor - 08.29.2026
What a perfect day celebrating these two!

The day started with rain, and we were all keeping an eye on the sky… but somehow, like magic, the rain stopped right around noon just as we were ready to start photos! And from there, the day couldn’t have been more perfect.

This one was extra special for me because I’ve known Madison since she was just 12 years old! Getting to photograph her wedding day and watch her marry the love of her life was such a full-circle moment.

Congratulations to the beautiful bride & groom! Thank you for letting me be a part of such an amazing day. It truly was PERFECT!

Here’s a little sneak peek from today!

Their family photos are beautiful because they are beautiful inside and out. ❤️

If you live in Ames, there’s a pretty good chance you know this family—or at least know of them! They are truly such an amazing family, and I’m so honored that they’ve trusted me to be their family photographer for all these years.

Still not entirely sure what I’m doing, but somehow they keep coming back. 😅😅😅

I absolutely loved photographing these three and watching their personalities shine. It's a beautiful reminder that the best photos aren't always perfectly posed, they're the ones that feel like home.

Apparently Facebook decided nobody can see my posts anymore unless I pay to boost them 😂 So I’m just gonna leave this amazing photo of 9 grandchildren under the age of 5 that I did last weekend here as a little PSA:

Yep, I’m still in business.Yep, I’m still taking photos of all my awesome clients.And honestly… at this rate I’ll probably still be doing this in 2045. 😅

I may not post on here a ton anymore, but I’m still behind the camera, still booking sessions, and still super thankful for every family, senior, couple, and client who’s stuck with me all these years.
