About Us

About Gail and Dennis, The Desert Haven Photography!

We’re Dennis and Gail Hildebrand, a married duo thriving under the sunny skies of Arizona alongside our beloved cats, Peaty and Chloe. I’m Gail, the heart behind the lens and the creative force designing our unique home décor. I’m a doer—always on the move, juggling our home, pets, family, photography, and my work in residential real estate. But my true passion lies in capturing the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert through my camera.

Before settling in Arizona, Dennis and I spent our primary working years in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), where we balanced careers with biking and hiking amidst stunning landscapes. That adventurous spirit and a lifetime of experience now fuel my photography and design work, infused with a keen eye for detail and a deep love for the desert. Together, Dennis and I explore Arizona’s hidden gems—Sierra Vista, Bisbee, Show Low, Sedona, and beyond—drawn by our shared passion for its wild, breathtaking scenery.

As your dynamic desert duo, we’re excited to share our world with you through art that celebrates the spirit of the Southwest.
