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.

give me an idea and I’ll work by butt off to make your senior vision board a reality. The vision here was “Nantucket” — do you think we managed to pull it off. Obsessed is an understatement for how I feel about these pics 🐚🌾🤍

it might have poured in Bel Air all night, but we only got about 10 minutes of rain down in Sparrows Point thankfully. And it once the rain cleared it made for the most beautiful sky 💞
