10 Happy Things for March
/
HAPPY MARCH!
I am so excited for flowers and foliage and warmer days!
Also, shout out to the G family for this wonderful session (they won the giveaway in January!!). I photographed their wedding two years ago and it was such a pleasure to meet their newest family member!
10 HAPPY THINGS
As always, this list is pretty random, but hopefully something on it will bring you joy!
-------
1. The Bridesmaid's Speech
-------
2. A new Reading, Wacthing, Listening post is up on my blog.
Also, I just binge-read this book and I'm obsessed.
-------
3. Where to go consignment shopping in Old Town Alexandria (so cool, I had no idea most of these stores even existed).
Also, where to celebrate Women's History Month in DC
------
4. I finally opened an online print store with my favorite travel photos. Click here to check it out.
-------
5. The best instant noodles
Also, 10 truly easy meals from Trader Joe's
-------
6. Taco Bell Quarterly . . . the literary magazine for the Taco Bell Arts and Letters. We’re a reaction against everything. The gatekeepers. The taste-makers. The hipsters. Health food. Artists Who Wear Cute Scarves. Bitch-ass Wendy’s. We seek to demystify what it means to be literary, artistic, important, and elite. We welcome writers and artists of all merit, whether you’re published in The Paris Review, rejected from The Paris Review, or DGAF what The Paris Review is."
-------
7. I'm really loving Beyonce's new country song.
Also, this music video always makes me happy (yay for friendship!!).
-------
8. The Ant & The Grasshopper - a Millennial Fable.
-------
9. My friend, Jessie Whitten, paints the most beautiful pet portraits. For Valentine's Day I commissioned a panting of our dog, Happy for Dan and he loved it (actually, we all love it).
------
10. The National Park Service's instagram account keeps making me laugh.

RECENT REVIEWS
As cliched as it sounds, reviews mean the world to small businesses like mine - so THANK YOU again to everyone who wrote one!!

When we decided to do a courthouse wedding with little time or planning, I seriously doubted we would find a fabulous photographer. Of the local photographers that we found in a Google search, Darcy was the only one that offered affordable, smaller packages that met our needs, matched our vibe and produced incredible, perfect photos of our day. She was easy to work with, communicative, professional, and brought out the true joy of that moment. She captured posed group shots with our family, and the greatest shots of the day when we had no idea she was even shooting. At one point she told us to just go ...walk..and be yourselves. She delivered a video within days after the wedding followed by the full gallery of shots a few days later. I highly recommend Darcy to capture any event that requires special care and warmth!! - Lynn & Craig

Darcy was great! This was our first time doing family pictures with a baby and toddler, and Darcy was great with directing us while also letting us do our thing. The final pictures are gorgeous! - Sarah

My wife and I hired Darcy for our engagement photo shoot and to photograph our wedding. After our engagement shoot, we knew we made the right choice picking her as our photographer. The photos turned out amazing and she was so friendly and flexible when it came to planning and logistics. She has an artistic eye and captured some incredible shots.
After our wedding, we knew not only was she the right choice for photographer, but Darcy is easily the best vendor we worked with. Not only did her photos come out looking incredible and capture all of the best, silliest, and most heartfelt moments of our big day, but she was such a pleasure to work with. Darcy is very kind, very genuine, and took a lot of time to really get to know us and understand who we are as a couple. She really eased our nerves on our wedding day and went above and beyond to make sure every photo came out perfectly capturing our favorite moments. We would absolutely recommend Darcy for any photo shoot and will absolutely reach out to her again in the future! - Neil
