I'm Daezerae — Your New Bestie!
This brand was built on guts, heart, and a little girl’s dream — one that never quite fit into the “real job” box.
I’m Daezerae Gil — a Winnipeg-based photographer, professional hype woman, soft-hearted spicy girl, and the kind of creative who cares way too much to just snap a few pretty pics and call it a day.
Daezerae Gil Photography exists for that little girl wanting to make her family proud. It started with a dream: to be my own boss, invest in myself, and prove the doubters wrong.
My grandma, Erlinda, was told she should be a nun or a doctor and said, actually, I’m going to run a business and move across the world. She built something from nothing, treated every person like family, and never forgot who she was doing it for.
That’s the kind of legacy I want to build too — one that’s meaningful, community-rooted, and bold as hell.
Every image tells a story — these are just a few of my favourites.

Recipe for a Spicy Mango Margarita!
We vibe, we shoot, we slay— here's how we shake things up and serve unforgettable photos.
Line the Glass with Tajín
We kick things off with a burst of flavour—getting to know each other, vibing, and dreaming up the perfect shoot. This is where we set the tone: bold, meaningful, and totally you.
Add the Tequila + Triple Sec
Time to take the shots—literally. This is photoshoot day, where the energy's high, the vibe is real, and the magic happens in front of the lens.
Add the Mango Juice
Once we've nailed the vibe, we pour the foundation. We lock in the date, choose a juicy location, and start setting the scene for something unforgettable.
Mix It Up + Garnish
You relax—I work my magic. I take the best of the best and edit with intention, adding the perfect blend of sweet and spicy to make every image hit just right.
Sip That Sweet + Spicy Goodness
Your gallery is delivered, packed with energy, emotion, and images that are bold, beautiful, and totally worth savouring.
Testimonials
All reviews sourced from Google Reviews for Daezerae Gil Photography
"Daze was great to work with! We had a mini photo shoot and she helped keep me at ease, gave me cues and we had fun the whole time. 10/10 recommend doing a shoot with her!"
"She’s amazing!! We did a family shoot and my children were wild, typical in the way that they weren’t sitting still (and she has photos to prove it) and would listen in domino effect. But she worked with their goofiness and made sure they had fun in the process. We laughed throughout and really had fun. And the photos turned out amazing!!"
"100% will be collaborating with Daez again! I was so nervous for this shoot and she did the best job guiding me thru it. And the pictures turned out lovely."
"Literally the best photography experience I've had so far. I felt so comfortable with Daezerae. I'm not like 100% confident in being in front of the camera but this was for work and honestly she made it so fun. So easy! So relaxed and I would 100% recommend booking a photo shoot for yourself just to see how amazing you can actually look 20/10!"
"I recently had photos done with Daezerae and I couldn’t be more impressed! She was professional, and had so many ideas to capture the best shot. She was also very friendly. I loved the music that she brought along to make the shoot more relaxing! After a 30min session, I came out with over 300 photos! Would highly recommend!"
"We had an incredible session with Daezerae Gil Photography this summer and she incorporated our dogs into the family photos, and they can be a LOT to deal with so we were so thankful that she was so accommodating and kind. Highly recommend going to Daezerae for any of your photography needs!"
"Wonderful"
"Our family has been photographed by Daezerae three times now, and we couldn't be happier with the photos!. She is energetic, intuitive, and quick on her feet. Our family is very high maintenance and she has been so accommodating to all of our antics! Thank you a million!"
"Dezi not only captures you in your main character moments, she turns you into the main character of your life, right in front of the camera! All it took was one shoot with her and I’m hooked!!!..on her fun, sassy vibe… her attention to detail, and how she made me feel! Dezi is also the definition of a hype girl and spreads love into any room she enters! What’s the occasion? Doesn’t matter, HIRE DEZI!"
