This is Us

We’re Lauren and Dave Clark—partners in life, photography, and the never-dull adventure of raising five rescue pups. Our furry family includes Desi Mae, Kent Clark, Sir Elton "Hercules" John (we’ll let you guess who’s rocking that name), and the inseparable duo, Travis and Coco Barker.

Our house is full, our bed is crowded, and our hearts are happily overflowing.

After 13 years of photographing families, weddings, and commercial projects, it was our own pack of lovable chaos that sparked the idea for DesiLu Pet Portraits.

Time and time again, clients would say, “We would’ve brought our dog, but they’re just too wild.”

To that, we say: bring on the chaos.

Because pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. They fill our lives with belly laughs, sweet snuggles, and those moments we wish we could freeze forever.

So whether your pet is full of zoomies, nose boops, or a little unpredictability, we get it.

Life with pets is perfectly imperfect, and we’re here to capture all the moments that make them yours.
