PORTRAIT

From toddlers to adults, the core of my approach is conversation. Questions about anything from light hearted matters to personal interests encourage those being photographed to focus less on the photography in favour of relating to those present during the session.

Testimonial: “Our children have not only matured as individuals but through multiple sessions with Darren they’ve become more confident in front of the camera. We focused on regular photo shoots during the fast changing times of ages ranging from under ten to their early twenties and are now very glad that we did so. When guests visit our home we have a framed series of family photos in sequence on the wall. It often becomes a talking point in regards to what we did when.” The Banerd family.
