#PBDfam Reviews

I recently participated in Darryl’s #LitwithPBD mentoring session and it was great! He was informative and took his time to explain the details. I would definitely recommend if you are looking to learn more about lighting.

Darryl is phenomenal and I can't wait to book my next session! I reached out for a family session in Raleigh at Dorothea Dix Park and NC State's main campus. Darryl was so quick to reply, confirm and to finalize all the booking details. On time, professional and so much fun! There were so many great family shots, including ones of my dog-nephew (who was thrilled to be playing in the mud during our shoot). There are so many great things that I can say about my experience but why just read it from me? Go book your session now!

I'm extremely pleased with my photography experience with Phocused by Darryl. I desperately needed un updated professional headshot as my last photo was over 9 years old. I've seen Darryl's work on social media, and it aligned with what I was looking for. The booking process is very simple, Darryl was very professional and although I was feeling a little awkward, he made the process very comfortable. Not only were his directions easy to follow, but he also taught me about photography and why we were doing things a certain way. I left the session not only feeling great about the experience but also feeling as if I had a better understanding of headshot photography. Darryl was quick on the editing and my final headshot was received in less than 48 hours. I've received so many compliments on my headshot and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Phocused by Darryl Photography. 

The best mentor for flash photography! I had no prior knowledge on flashpoint photography coming into this mentorship. Darryl was patient, kind and professional during our session. I highly recommend Darryl for all your flash/photography needs. Thanks for giving me the drive and confidence to do more with flash in my future! #LITwithPBD

Mr. Moore was a Godsend to work with. He was very professional and patient. He wanted to capture the perfect memory with each flash and he did just that. I would recommend any and every to Phocused by Darryl Photography #ImPhocusedMan

Darryl was amazing! He was patient with me as it was my first time taking professional headshots. Darryl took his time to ensure my pictures were the best quality. He communicated with me throughout the entire process. I received my pictures sooner than expected! I got to see his work firsthand and it is excellentI will be returning soon for other pictures! I highly recommend Phocused by Darryl!!! 

Darryl photographed our baby reveal photos and we could not be happier with the entire experience! Booking with him was simple and he was prepared when we arrived knowing the props we wanted to use. During our session, he was creative and fun. He makes you feel comfortable, which is essential. We received our photo gallery promptly and while I may be experiencing pregnancy hormones, the photos absolutely brought tears to my eyes! We are very pleased with his services and grateful to have him capture this memory that will be cherished forever.

I had an incredible OCF mentor session with Darryl on 01/31/2021. I was not very experienced with flash (on camera) and left my mentor session feeling super confident with my skills and knowledge for on camera, and especially off camera flash. Darryl is patient, thorough and professional. I highly recommend booking an OCF mentor ship with him, you won't regret it !
