Wonderfull pictures, great artistic flare, Congradulations again !!!!
Hi Darren
I am Sammi’s Dad and I want to tell you that although she is beautiful you have done an exceptional job of capturing that retro part of her personality and enhanced her beauty. What a great layout. I wish you much success in this business…you either have it or you don’t…you got it buddy
Regards Peter
Oh Daz these are simply breath taking. I especially love the “Darren rocks” on the game board, what a great little touch
ohhh I agree with the comment that these are a sensational series of images and should be snapped up for a magazine layout seriously amazing talent and work
“Exceptional results. Very artful. It’s all about the picture “making” rather than the picture taking. A very successful collaboration. Every good photographer has to be part project manager. Your article does Toowoomba tourism a great service. They should do an editorial piece with the images.”
STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHY AND THEME i LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE PHOTOS HOW SUPERB
What glorious photos – congratulations! Of course you had some stunning subjects – Sammi you are a princess!
OMG Daz! Absolutely love these fully sick – the theme is great, the location is fantastic and what an adventurous couple.
some of the most beautiuful photography that I have seen around particulary in Toowoomba beautiful work and what fantastic clients to want to create art and photography well done to all of you

I love these photos. Adelaide is just beautiful, very very cute attire – good work stylist and photographer!
Oh I just love your pictures Darren- you’ve become something of an idol for me. You really must be down on your belly to take most of theese pictures, right?
Would you send me a mail about the postproduction on the last image (if you find the time – never feel forced). You asked med earlier if I used Lightroom, and I said I was a photoshoper, but now I started exploring LR aswell.
Wonderfull blog Darren!
