MY APPROACH

This isn’t about getting everyone to smile at the camera.

It’s about:

The way you instinctively hold your growing bump.

The newness of those early days at home.

The way your children reach for you without thinking.

You don’t need to prepare for perfection.
You don’t need things to be a certain way.

You just need to show up.

I’ll take care of the rest.

KIND WORDS

  • A black and white photo of a family sitting on a couch, hugging and smiling.

    STEPH - Family Session

    “Darcy came to do a family photoshoot for us at home and she was so wonderful from start to finish. She made us all feel totally at ease which isnt an easy task with 4&5 year old boys. The whole shoot felt so natural and we all really enjoyed it and the outcome is amazing. We are so happy with the photos and the special moments she managed to capture for us.”

  • A family of four standing in the ocean waves on a cloudy day at the beach, smiling and enjoying the water.

    KYLIE - Family Session

    “We had a shoot with Darcy this morning, she was FABULOUS. Really organised and clear with planning and timing. She seemed to get our family vibe instinctively. Time spent with her was a magical fun family adventure, and any photos felt so easy, natural and organic.”

  • A couple hugging and smiling at each other in the ocean during sunset, with waves splashing around them.

    MALRINI - Maternity & Newborn Session

    “We hired Darcy for both our maternity and newborn photos and they both turned out absolutely amazing. Darcy is so easy and friendly and creative to work with. There's no pressure or rushing or any stress at all. And she is definitely not your "stand up, and say cheese" photographer. The photos she takes, you will want to print and frame every single one. I honestly cried when I saw the photo gallery. Each photo was like a movie coming to life, and my family and I were the stars for once.”

  • A couple standing in a hallway of a home, with the woman holding a newborn baby. The man is smiling and holding a hat in the air. There is a mirror and a small table with items on it, and a door open to the outside.

    MELISSA - Newborn Session

    “Darcy was responsive, warm and caring over emails, sharing my excitement of recently becoming a parent.

    I enjoyed answering her questionnaire sent through before our session, which made the morning feel smooth and relaxed, not at all rushed to capture everything we had hoped. Her words made us feel validated and encouraged on our parenting journey.

    It's so special to have such beautiful images of our little family, at home, during such a transformative time in our life. Darcy is so talented and such a lovely person to spend a few hours with.”

  • A family on the beach with a father, mother, and two children sharing a hug and kiss, with the ocean in the background.

    JUSTINE - Family Session

    “Absolutely incredible photographer. I am beyond impressed with how our family photos turned out. Darcy made the whole process so easy and the outcome is amazing! You’d be silly not to book a shoot with her.”
