I am very picky when it comes to hiring a photographer, so prior to hiring Daria for my portrait/portfolio session, I observed her work over a period of time at different events and asked a few of her clients about her work. Her eye is artistic and she uses light and contrasts very well. She looks for a story or statement in every shot. After agreeing on a price, she took the time to investigate places for my shoot and upon settling on a location, we scheduled the shoot.
During the shoot she proved most patient and was able to capture everything I want to convey with the set of pictures despite me being a difficult subject. Turnaround time was super! Within a couple days of the shoot, I had the proofs and approved the shots I wanted.

Daria is a fantastic photographer. Her artistic sensibility married with a photojournalist's eye made for unusual, meaningful photos. We did miss a few shots we would have liked - so with Daria - if you are funny about that stuff - just make sure you give her strict instructions about want - because her eye and talent might just take her to a different shot instead :) We loved what we got and have learned to be more specific for the future so we get ALL the shots we need. I would certainly hire her again. The images simply were beautiful!!!

Never received my wedding proofs, never heard back from the photographer. So basically we paid all this money to have someone take pictures, but I have no pictures.
