10 HAPPY THINGS
As always, this list is pretty random, but hopefully something will make you smile.
-------
1. 20 Virginia summits with 360 degree views.
Also, 2-3 Day VA backpacking trips.
-------
2. This photo series on motherhood and pregnancy is AMAZING.
------
3. A few great "red" movies this month - Loved this one. And this one.
-------
4. Spring in DC (so much to do and see!!)
-------
5. Let's talk about light!!!
I wrote a blogpost detailing what I see when I look through the lens, please check it out! Especially if you have questions about why I like to take photos close to sunrise/sunset.
Also, there are several new families, engagements, and weddings up on the blog as well.
-------
6. Lately, I keep making soup (so random),
so I can't wait to dive into this list of spring soups.
And also try Roberto, a soup gone viral.
Further, so many chickpea options.
-------
7. "Why have kids? It sounds hard." (I understand that kids aren't for everyone, but if you're on the fence this is a pretty good list).
-------
8. Made me laugh.
------
9. Would you retire to Margaritaville? I sound sarcastic, but these people seem to be having a ton of fun.
------
10. YES!!!!! (As a wedding photographer, I always appreciate a good love story).

BUSINESS UPDATE
***PERSONAL & BUSINESS UPDATE ***
As many of you know, for the last six months I have been flying back and forth to Chicago on a regular basis because of my mother's declining health. My mom passed away last Wednesday and I'm glad she's finally at peace.
As we settle her affairs, I will be working a reduced schedule through July 2022, meaning I have no plans to cancel anything already on my calendar but will be taking on a very limited amount of new work.
Thanks in advance for understanding!!
-------
FOR WEDDINGS - 2022 IS REALLY FULL (though I still have a few openings) & I'M BOOKING INTO 2023!
Also, if you're thinking of eloping or planning a mirco-wedding, please get in touch - I have lots of advice/suggestions!

"Five stars is not enough!!
When I open the link of the finished work I cried.
If you want something pure and authentic that will stand the test of time then this is your girl.
Professional and seamless from start to finish.
Haven’t a chance to download all of the photos and there ones loved even more than these I am posting but they are still downloading yet. Can’t imagine anyone else Darcy is incredible inside and out and her work speaks for its self.
The entire experience was incredible. I can’t express my gratitude in the short paragraph." - Alia

I would highly recommend Darcy! She photographed our engagement and wedding festivities! She is an absolute delight to work with, I am still amazed at her ability to capture multiple moments in one single photograph. She is super flexible and has an energetic yet calm personality which makes her a perfect choice for any wedding or event.
Once our big day was over, the only way to relive the festivities and memories from that day was through the photographs and videos, Darcy managed to capture every single moment and now we have beautiful photographs to look back on for the rest of our lives!
I would 10/10 recommend Darcy to anyone looking for a photographer! She is the best!" - Sharanya
