Summit Studios Photography

“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
Karl Lagerfeld

I’m a Louisville-based photographer who values emotion + composition equally.

I capture events, portraits, and brand stories that reflect people as they are: real, expressive, and in the moment.

From My Clients

Booked Desiree for a portrait session [...] vision and knew exactly how to direct the session in a way that felt natural and lighthearted. The final photos looked cinematic and exceeded my expectations. I’ve already recommended her to a few of my friends

"I'm always awkward in front of camera, this outfit, this style is very much out of my comfort zone but Desiree showed up & did that! Thank you so much for this fun & stylish shoot!

Mal P.
I was really nervous before my shoot with Desiree and had no idea what to expect. But she made it so easy and fun. The photos turned out amazing and actually feel like me. I’m already thinking about booking another shoot soon.
