Don’t just take my word for it…

  • Absolutely incredible photos that we can’t wait to share with our friends and family. Darian made us feel comfortable, she was professional, great with the kids and so fun to work with!! I can’t recommend her enough. On top of that her photos are gorgeous and they were ready so quickly!!

  • Darian was amazing. My Fiancé and I we’re very pleased with the entire process. We did an engagement shoot and she did such a good job at making things less tense and feel more natural. She knew exactly the poses to use and they turned out perfect. From the minute I booked, she was very responsive and helped me with every detail. Afterwards she kept us updated along the way until our pictures we’re done. We couldn’t be more pleased. Shelby has cried over them since we got them!

  • Darian was amazing! What a fantastic photographer. She was great at incorporating our inspo photos with her own style and gave good direction. She made us both feel comfy and made the experience super fun!

  • Darian was excellent from beginning to end. The surprise proposal could not have happened without her spot-on coordination. The photos turned out so much better than we had even imagined. We will cherish these captured moments forever, thanks to Darian.

  • You know when you first meet someone and the connection and vibe is natural and easy? That’s how Darian made myself and my partner feel. We didn’t know what to expect, it was our first time using Flytographer, (and our first time getting ANY kind of professional photos done!) and Darian made the entire process so easy and fun. She had us laughing a lot and it released all the tension we were feeling about how to pose, how to smile, etc. We highly recommend working with Darian. She brought our personalities and silliness to light in all of our engagement photos which we will look back on and cherish for a lifetime.

  • Darian was AMAZING!!! My husband and I don't typically do things like this so I warned her that we would be pretty awkward (haha)... I don't know how she did it, but she made this one of the most fun things we've ever done together. We were relaxed and we had a GREAT time and Darian got some amazing action shots. We will definitely be using Darian every time we do pictures around this area :)

  • I highly recommend shooting with Shimonek & Co. - Shooting with Darian made me feel so comfortable. She is easy to work with and the sweetest person. Anyone and everyone should book a session with her, she accomodated all insecurities I had and made sure they were non existent during the entire process. Fast turn around for your edited album as well! High, highly recommend!

  • Darian was absolutely AMAZING. We loved her so much. She was discrete and played the whole surprise off perfectly. Her pictures also came out beautifully and we have not stopped receiving compliments. Thank you so much Darian for everything!

  • Darian's attention to detail and artistic vision truly shone through in every shot, and she went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with the final result. Not only was she an absolute joy to work with, but she also made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking high-quality photography. Thank you again for an incredible experience!

  • Darian was very sweet! She was able to get some wonderful pictures of our little family, which isn't always the easiest with an active toddler. We highly recommend her!

  • Darian was wonderful! She texted me earlier in the day to confirm our shoot, as well as when she parked. She arrived early, and we chatted about my style and goals for the shoot. She was fun, energetic, easy to talk to, and I'm so happy with my photos! She captured exactly the vibe I wanted. Highly recommend Darian, and I will certainly use her again next time I travel to San Diego!

  • Darian was a great photographer! She made sure to call days in advance and set up the details of our engagement photo shoot. She texted earlier in the day to confirm the timing and a place to meet. She had so many great ideas for our sunset shoot and they all came out so great

  • Darian was absolutely fantastic. She helped me plan the perfect photoshoot, made recommendations on potentially better locations, and provided detailed instructions on how to get there. On the day of, we were running 30 minutes late to our 1 hour photoshoot, and Darian ensured no one stole the ideal spot for our surprise proposal pictures. Despite being 30 minutes late, Darian was still able to capture hundreds of pictures in the limited time we have, and her post-processing looks amazing. I highly recommend Darian for any of your photoshoot needs!

  • Darian was fantastic to work with! She communicated well, listened to what we were looking for in the photos, and was able to capture beautiful photos of our family. She was great with our infant and toddler, getting really lovely photos of them that were candid but also looked natural. Very grateful we booked her and can’t wait to print and frame the pictures.

    — Carmen

  • Darian was great and easy to work with and the photos we received are amazing.

    — Lisa

  • I loved working with Darian! Super flexible and was able to capture our story authentically. Worked to make sure we could be accommodated despite the rain and traffic. Would love to work with her again!

    — Chelsea

  • Darian was so fun to work with. We had a blast connecting with her and capturing milestone memories.

    — Austin

  • Darian was GREAT! She messaged me ahead of time so I knew the easiest parking (which was really helpful considering we had a toddler with us). I chose a 30 minute session and she was so quick and efficient to make sure we got in all the shots we wanted. My son loved her and she made him feel so comfortable he had the biggest smile throughout the shoot!

  • What a wonderful experience! Trying to capture photos on the beach with 3 kids that only want to jump in waves and dig in the sand is no easy feat, but somehow Darian was able to make it happen! She was so patient and wasn’t afraid to give my kids direction (and us). The turn around time getting the pictures back was mind blowing, especially for how beautiful all of the images were. Highly, highly recommend

  • Darian is absolutely amazing. She's got great ideas to capture natural poses. She listens to requests and takes swift action. She was extremely accommodating in our day/time request for the shoot even though she had Thanksgiving travel plans later that afternoon.
