Your Story Photographed by Desiree Menk

People have different forms of love and freedom. For me, I love telling peoples' stories through photography. You will always get photographs of who you are, and memories with sessions with me. I'm committed to showing the beautiful and true story of you-if it's through weddings, boudoir, family, etc photography.

Bio:

I am based in Jamestown, ND, and from Minnesota. Most of my clients are in the Fargo-Moorhead area, and all over the states of North Dakota and Minnesota. I love to travel for photoshoots, weddings and events!

I fell in love with photography at 18 so much so that one of my emphasis is in photojournalism (art + storytelling) from Minnesota State University Moorhead.

Feel free to message me with any questions!

Fun facts:

-I had no idea what lutefisk, lefse and knoephla soup were before moving to the Fargo/Moorhead area. I still have no desire to try lutefisk.

-I have experience working with kids who have intellectual and/developmentally disabilities. They’re fun!

-My very first tattoo happened in Las Vegas (March 2023). My little camera outline tattoo is my only one…so far.

-I am a LGBTQ+ friendly photographer.

-I do not like edit people’s skin to the point they look…plastic-y. You’re beautiful. I just magically get rid of the acne and things that may be distracting.

-I got married in 2021. I planned a wedding through the pandemic. I love photographing weddings even more now because I remember what it is like. All the nervousness, excitement, etc.

-My husband and I have one cat, two dogs and a lizard.

-I’m a natural blonde who got bored and decided to go red. People think I’m a natural red-head. They never believed me when I told them I was blonde with my natural hair color.
