Darren was an absolute dream to work with. He was extremely detailed and put the utmost effort and care into our collaboration. I needed new headshots and media photos for my website and he truly went above and beyond. He made sure to ask me specifics on what I needed, even inquiring about other people in my field who I'd like to emulate so that we could be as specific and successful as possible. In an hour and a half, we were able to get almost 250 INCREDIBLE shots, which he was generous enough to give me full access to after the shoot. His demeanor was warm, welcoming, friendly, and I felt comfortable enough to be myself for the camera. I was very nervous as I am not very experienced with professional photo shoots, but he made me feel confident and excited. He charged $200 an hour, but it is my firm belief that this shoot was worth well over $1000 and ALL of my friends who have seen the results emphatically agree. I can not recommend Darren enough!

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

Darren was wonderful to work with! He was quick to respond, I enjoyed his portfolio and gave the advice extra time to get to know us and what we were looking for! It’s the next day (a holiday at that) and he is already sending me sneak peeks of the photos!
