My name is Derrek Ingalls, and I am a passionate portrait photographer who loves capturing the genuine moments that tell a person’s story. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Arts, Media, and Entertainment from the University of Arizona with an emphasis in photography, and I enjoy combining technical knowledge with creativity to create images that feel authentic and timeless.

Photography has allowed me to meet incredible people from all walks of life, and one of my favorite parts of every session is helping clients feel comfortable, confident, and excited in front of the camera. Whether I’m photographing families, seniors, engagements, graduations, or special events, I strive to create an experience that is fun, relaxed, and memorable while delivering images that clients will treasure for years to come.

Outside of photography, I enjoy spending time with my family and my pets, attending baseball and hockey games, exploring new places with my camera, and listening to Taylor Swift. I’m also passionate about supporting mental health awareness and believe that compassion, kindness, and creating meaningful connections are just as important as taking a beautiful photograph.

I believe there is beauty in everything you just have to know how to capture it.
