Darcy is exceptional in every way! Professional, personable, reliable and a great photographer. She worked so well with getting the 9 of us (including 3 kiddos) organized and situated for our photo shoot on our Winter Park family vacation. She was always responsive and expeditious with all of her correspondence, from start to finish. We ALL absolutely adore our family photos. Couldnt recommend her more highly!

We had Darcy take our family photos this fall and it was such a wonderful experience. From our first conversation Darcy was fantastic, she listened to what I was hoping to achieve for our shoot and was able to provide multiple options. The shoot was fun and the resulting pictures are wonderful. I would highly recommend Darcy!

I am thrilled with the photos that Darcy took for my son's Bar Mitzvah held in Boulder last month. Darcy is respectful and caring and took the time to meet with our family before the event. Our comfort with her came through in how beautifully and authentically she captured each of us. Darcy is an exceptional professional and human and I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Working with Darcy has been a joy. We asked her to photograph our daughter and family in a rare moment in our lives we decided to commemorate. Never having done this before, she made us all feel comfortable and talked us through the experience. She was professional, personable and very easy to work with. On a personal level, she is a warm and kind person. The pictures are beautiful and we will cherish them.
