Darcey was great! Arrived early, took way more photos than we could have possibly dreamed of, and captured excellent candid and posed for shots. Would highly recommend!

We’ve worked with a bunch of different photographers for our annual shoot but needed to find someone who worked in the area we wanted to shoot in this year and came across Darcey! She and her assistant were such a pleasure to work with and even helped pose our 2 dogs, which we’ve learned is a skill in itself. On the way home from our shoot before we even saw the photos we agreed that she’s easily the best we’ve ever worked with. We got so many photos to choose from we are having a hard time picking them out! We will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we shoot in this area!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Darcey was great right from the initial contact. Making an appointment was smoothe and easy. She was very accommodating to come from CT to Queens and arrived on time. She was professional, had an assistant, and knew her craft. She was able to give clear instructions and put me at ease so that I looked calm and relaxed in the photos. The pictures came out great and for a terrific value! I highly recommend Darcey!!

Details: Professional / business • Office • 1 person • No outfit changes • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.
