Desiree Ortman Photography

Desiree Ortman Photography Desiree Ortman Photography is a luxury senior portrait photographer based just north of Baltimore, Maryland in Harford County. hi. i'm desiree.

I'm the mother of two pretty amazing kids - a sassy six year old little girl with a heart of gold and a sweet and shy three year old little boy. I married my very own prince charming in 2008 and he's been the driving force in helping me pursue my dreams. I guess you could say I'm the creative type. I worked in marketing and public relations for 8 years with a Fortune 500 company right here in Balt

imore, MD. I loved my job, but staying home with my babies was super important for me. Pinterest is my jam; I'm addicted to HGTV and I love decorating and crafting, too. Oh and I run my own Stella & Dot jewelry biz as well, so styling a photo shoot is so fun for me, too! I'm all about freezing time. Sure, I love a gorgeous portrait, but I love capturing real moments - the love shared by a newly engaged couple, the silliness of two siblings, the bond between mom and son. Most of my work is done outdoors because let's face it, there's nothing more beautiful than mother nature. Be sure to check out my website and Instagram to get a feel for my style. If you like what you see here... drop me a message and let's chat.

the very last of my Class of 2026 DOP REPS finally got her chance in the spotlight today… being a competitive cheerleader sometimes means pushing your senior sesh out until Mid May, but it was worth it…

To the moms behind every graduating senior, especially those behind all of my Class of 2026 DOP REPS… Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

The early mornings, the late-nights, the endless driving, the cheering from the sidelines, the calming nerves, the making everything happen without ever asking for credit… you are the reason so many of these moments exist in the first place.

You are the memory makers behind the scenes. The ones who turned ordinary years into the years they’ll remember forever.

One day these girls will look back at the laughter, the friendships, and the milestones and woven through every single memory will be you.

Thank you for making every chapter of their lives feel so loved, celebrated, and unforgettable. Happy Mother’s Day to the women who make the magic happen. ✨

this time of year is always crazy for me, but I’ll always try to find a way to fit in my previous seniors when they graduate college… especially when they reach out over a year prior to graduation 🎓

I loved seeing Sarah and her friends last night on campus! Congrats, girls on this huge achievement!!
