Hate having your picture taken? Feel like you aren’t photogenic?

I see you.
You put everyone else first, thinking it’s safe being the one behind the camera capturing cherished life moments that everyone oogles afterwards.
But as you flip through family albums and cast your gaze across the frames on your walls, there’s something missing…
YOU.
It’s your turn. You deserve the spotlight. You deserve a beautiful photo on the wall too. One that captures this moment in your life’s journey.

Your organic portrait photography session will reveal your inner beauty, showing you (and the world) your soul essence… your strength and presence.

“Darius offers a welcoming and natural way of capturing the true essence of the present moment in his photography. I highly recommend Darius’s creative gift of using this art form so beautifully with his clients.”

Show how magnificent you really are.

Quite often, clients hide behind excuses like:
"I'm not photogenic"...
"I look terrible in pictures"...
"I have to drop some weight before we do that"...
...and many others.

Truthfully, that’s only because no one has ever helped them feel at ease in front of the camera.

If that’s you, Darius Photography will guide you through a photographic journey and prove to you that you're good enough to experience this moment just for yourself. When you have that alluring portrait in your hands, you’ll see and feel that beauty within looking back at you like you’ve never experienced before.

Let us capture you in this moment of time. The real you.

Stand out…

  • Advance your professional career

THE EXPERIENCE STARTS HERE…

Before your session...
Before booking your shoot, we start with a free phone consultation. I’ll learn more about you and the type of mood you want to capture. Once we book the photographic session, we will discuss any props that could be incorporated that tell your story. And if you’d like to compile a few inspiration samples to emulate, all the better. We’ll discuss wardrobe selection and if there will be more than one wardrobe change. If you’d like hair and makeup, that can be provided at an additional cost (although not required).
Day of…
Your scheduled photoshoot starts with taking a moment to get to know each other a bit more so you’re at ease with being the center of attention. We’ll review your inspiration file (if any), and discuss possible setups before getting to work. The session will last about 1 to 2 hours and include a wardrobe change if desired, and we need an additional 1 to 1.5 hrs if makeup is required.
During your portrait shoot…
This is your time to shine! Leave your self-consciousness in the car and let’s work on transforming ‘photogenic’ to ‘soulgenic’. I want you to feel safe and at ease while we capture your beautiful inner essence. You will be directed through the best poses and expressions so that you’ll get those stunning images you’ve always longed for but never thought possible. Intermittently, I’ll stop and show you what the camera is capturing so you can rest assured you look amazing.
After your session …
Once we’ve wrapped the shoot, I’ll get to work hand-selecting the best images. In about 1 week, we will schedule the reveal session to preview your portraits. You’ll have the opportunity to select from an array of poses and expressions and pick an assortment. Once purchased, I’ll get to work retouching your choices to really make them outstanding works of art and have them ready for you within approximately 2 week time. You’ll also have the choice of digital or print.

“Stop looking and book him!
I’m uncomfortable having attention on me. Heck, I even hesitate being on Zoom. I’d rather be behind a keyboard. But with Darius’ guidance I morphed from pinched and stoic to totally at ease. I didn’t want the session to end! And he showed me what the camera was capturing along the way so I could learn and adjust. It was an amazing experience!”
