Family Session


Absolutely love using Dusty Desert Photography to capture my families memories! She is amazing at guiding poses and also catching memorable candids. Communication is quick and easy and the second i met her she made me feel so comfortable as if i have known her for years! Highly recommend having her become a part of your families memories!

Couples Session


I've done almost a handful of session with Carlie and every time, it's been fun and welcoming! She's laid back and professional. Never a reason to be nervous infront of a camera with her. And her natural styling is so refreshing. Her website helps you with every question you might have too! We love her!

Maternity Session


We got a maternity photo shoot done at 30 weeks pregnant. Was an amazing time. Not to long, and every picture came out so beautiful.

Individual Session


"A year ago Carlie did my maternity photos and just recently we got to work together again for some fun post pregnancy mommy oral boosting pictures! She is phenomenal! I didn't second guess myself not once. She encouraged every pose and made me feel confident and beautiful."

Maternity Session


"Carlie is so easy going and sweet! She knows what images and angles she wants to capture, when she gets the picture she was going for she gets excited and in turn the client gets excited! Photoshoots aren't meant to be so serious all the time. Trust the artist and trust and respect their profession. I fully trust Carlie and I'm looking forward to working with her in the future."

Newborn Session


"It may have been her first newborn shoot but she handled it like a pro. She made me and my husband feel super comfortable and was very patient with our little one. She was always quick to respond to my questions and flexible when I had to change dates due to our daughter's early arrival. I would highly recommend!"

Maternity Session


"I first contacted Carlie in October about wanting her to do our maternity pictures and she did not disappoint! When we went out in February, she mentioned it was her first time doing maternity and she absolutely killed it!

Styled Shoot in Prescott Valley


"Carlie traveled to Prescott to do a stylized shoot for my business and two other business owners. She did amazing at capturing each individual business, and then all of them as a whole. We also worked with a model and she did so good at posing her and coming up with creative photo ideas. She's so sweet and very professional. Highly recommend her!"
