Happy New Year from Darcey Stone Photography. As 2026 begins, I'm wishing you and your loved ones a year filled with health, joy, and meaningful moments both big milestones and the quiet, everyday memories that matter just as much.
A new year often brings fresh momentum. New opportunities at work. New goals. New chapters for families. New celebrations on the calendar. It's also a time when many people realize how quickly life moves and how valuable it is to preserve the moments that won't come back in the same way.
Photography is one of the simplest ways to hold onto those moments. Not in a staged or overly posed way but in a way that feels real, warm, and timeless.
The start of the year is a natural time to refresh your professional presence. A strong headshot is more than a profile photo it's often the first impression someone has of you.
Updated headshots are especially helpful for:
Darcey Stone Photography creates clean, natural headshots that feel polished and confident without looking stiff or overdone.
Corporate events are fast-moving and full of key moments: arrivals, networking, speakers, leadership interactions, and the details that reflect your brand. Professional event photography helps you preserve those moments and use them in a way that supports your business long after the event ends.
Corporate event images are useful for:
Whether it's a conference, panel, client gathering, or company celebration, the goal is simple: deliver images that feel professional, energetic, and true to the moment.
Not every meaningful event is corporate. Birthday celebrations, anniversaries, family gatherings, and holiday parties deserve photos that feel genuine candids, group portraits, and the small moments in between.
A well-documented party gives you more than a few posed shots. It gives you a story: the people who were there, the joy, the laughter, and the atmosphere you'll want to remember later.
Graduation is a proud moment, and a dedicated photoshoot is a great way to capture that transition from one chapter to the next. A graduation session can include:
It's a milestone you'll look back on for years especially as life moves forward quickly after graduation.
Family photos don't need to feel posed or forced. The best family sessions capture connection small interactions, genuine smiles, and the energy that makes your family yours.
Whether you're updating your family portraits or celebrating a new stage of life, Darcey's approach keeps the process relaxed and comfortable so the final images feel authentic.
Those first weeks with a newborn are brief and unforgettable. Newborn photography is about preserving the softness and detail of that time tiny features, sleepy moments, and the calm closeness that defines the earliest days.
Newborn sessions work best when they're paced gently, with comfort and simplicity at the center of the experience.
As you look ahead at 2026, consider the moments you already know will matter:
You don't need to photograph everything just the moments you'll want to keep.
