10 Happy Things for April
/
HAPPY SPRING!
How beautiful is the B family?
Sadly, last year, their youngest daughter, Phoebe, started having seizures and was diagnosed with SnyGAP, a rare neurogenetic disorder.
On Saturday, April 27 at 9:00 am Phoebe's family is hosting a fundraiser - Sprint for SynGAP - at the Palisades Recreation Center in DC (the tagline is "no run, just fun") with music, games and snacks.
100% of all proceeds from the event will go to the SynGAP Research Fund, which provides funding for research and clinical trial readiness for gene therapies and other treatments.

We used Darcy for a family photo session and could not be happier with the results. She is a pleasure to work with - she answered all my questions ahead of time and made us all feel so comfortable during the session. And the photos are spectacular! She captured our family of four in the most authentic way. I know we will treasure these gorgeous photos for years to come. We are so glad to have found Darcy! - Rachel

Darcy is amazing to work with and she is truly an artist! Our engagement shoot and wedding photos were done by Darcy and they look straight out of a fairytale movie. She has a keen eye in capturing unique moments. I even had to share some of the candid shots that she took of the guests, cause they were so good! She asked all the right questions to make sure we got the style and vision we were looking for. Yet, the images are so uniquely Darcy :) The best decision we made for the wedding was working with Darcy! - Nevetha
