We had an amazing experience with Darcy for our baby’s first birthday shoot! She was incredibly patient, creative, and knew exactly how to capture our little one’s personality in every shot, including the cake smash. The photos turned out beautiful.

Darcey was wonderful to work with and took beautiful photos of our newborn son. She was great at communicating before the session, made us feel very welcome and comfortable at all times and took a wide variety of shots. It’s easy to see how much Darcey cares for her work and it really shines through in the end product, the photos are fantastic. Would highly recommend Darcey to anyone!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Darcey Stone, and I am beyond impressed with their talent and creativity. Their eye for selecting the perfect locations was nothing short of genius, each spot adding a unique charm and atmosphere to the photos. The poses they guided me through felt natural yet artistic, resulting in images that captured my personality beautifully. Every shot felt thoughtfully composed, with stunning attention to detail. I couldn’t be happier with the final photos—Darcey is a true artist!

Darcey accommodated my request on short notice. She spoke to me on the phone and prepared me for the shoot sharing advice on attire and color choices. As a result, the shoot was efficient and successful. The photos were beautiful.

Darcey is a true professional at her craft! Our daughter’s graduation event with family pics turned out beautiful and elegant! It was a smooth and efficient process from start to finish, Darcey was very easy to communicate with. She offered suggestions and ideas to think about beforehand (in case of illness or elderly family who may have different needs and timing) and even discussed a rain plan (shoot was outdoors). Everything was disclosed and discussed upfront which was very appreciated especially when dealing with a hectic day and family. Darcey and her associate arrived onsite and everything executed very smoothly. She gave clear and prompt instruction and guidance for posing, lighting, outfit adjustments to ensure we were looking our best for optimal photos. She has natural leadership to keep us on task and was very courteous to our family of all ages and mobilities. It was a very hot afternoon and we were impressed at Darcey’s energy, enthusiasm and stamina! Her strong work ethic and passion were obvious - just hire her for a worry-free, 100% positive experience and delivery of professional photos of your special person or event!
