Darcey was absolutely wonderful to work with for my son’s college graduation photos. I have to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first because her prices were better than others I had received quotes from and she was willing to travel an hour, even at the lower price. However, once she began working, I knew I had made the right decision. Prior to the appointment time, Darcey researched the campus so she would have an idea of areas that she felt would be the best background for great photos. She was meticulous about every detail for every shot. She adjusted his cap and tassel, the cuff on his pants, his tie, the way he held his hand and crossed his leg and more. Darcey made sure everything was, “just right” for every photo. When we got in the car after our session, my son who does not like getting his picture taken, immediately said, “She was really good and she was so nice. When you have ‘M’s’ (his sister ) done, you should definitely go with her.”
When I received the pictures back, just a week after they were taken, each and every one came out great!! All that attention to detail was obvious in every shot. Darcey was also great with communication. She responded to my initial message quickly, answering any and all questions I had. She communicated during the process with time and date confirmations, advice and any questions she had. After the photos were taken and sent, she reached out to make sure I was happy with them. I honestly can’t say enough good about our experience with Darcey and her assistant. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

Darcy was so energetic and what a fantastic photographer! Responded immediately and kept in contact during the booking process. The final photos were amazing and we did not wait long after the photo shoot for her to send them to us. We used Darcy for our daughters Medical School Graduation photos and can't wait to hire her for our family photo! Thank Darcy
