Have you ever approached a photographer and been given a weird look because you wanted to have your family dressed as Jedis and Siths? What about having that vintage prom dress your mom wore, but let's get it caked in mud? Well, look no further! Because you will face no weird looks here. Unless our over excited school girl worthy squeels give you one for a change.
Our themed sessions focus on making you bring that unique and so off beat its weird idea come to life. No matter how odd is might sound to your neighbor, we think it's awesome. And we love awesome! Kabuki samurai? Lets! Levitation like a stuntman? Totally! How about a Doctor Who family?! OMG YES!! Don't fear to show us your weird. Because normal is overrated.
Or are you a vintage spirit looking for the right look for your Pin up or Rockabilly without being stuck in a studio? How about something sweet and special to celebrate yourself or give to that special someone? Or maybe you just want to feel like a model. We have something for each of you as well. Our sessions are relaxed, comfortable and full of fun and humor. With our extended teams, let us give you a day unlike any you've had before. Where you feel just as magnificent and look just as spectacular as that model in your favorite magazine. Because you are beautiful too!

Cosplay photography is our of leading specializations. From detail shots for entering competitions and select groups, to location specific and altered imagery, we help you bring your Persona to life.
Have you ever had such a love for a character or fandom you just had to make that awesome outfit?! Or what about a fandom character that you knew was lying in wait for you to just bring them to life? No matter what style cosplayer you are, we support and love you and the love you have for your fandom! From conventions to private locations, we want to help you bring your Persona to life.
Persona is our unique cosplay portraiture session. Where the session itself is more than just about the images, it's about the character you portray. With research into every session, we seek out the prime locations to fit your character and you.
All of our Persona sessions are photographed by Lotus. With her nearly decade's worth of experience as a cosplayer and former model, she will coach you during your session. From hand placement, to prop usage, and even facial expressions, her goal is to capture you as your Persona.
Most of our packages now include advanced editing on your image(s) of choice.

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Do you shoot destination weddings?
Will there be a second shooter?
Can I extend the session on the day of?
What kind of gear do you use?
Do I have to order prints through you?
Do you teach photography still?
Yes we are! In fact, Darkshi Creations is a proud member of Rainbow Mobile, Open 4 Business and supporter of the Trevor Project and GLAAD.
Yes we do! Please contact us directly to see if you destination wedding falls under our Top Locations or not for a chance at a waived travel fee.
Second shooters are available as an add on to your package. We do not include them since we now focus on smaller intimate weddings. But we do not shun the bigger weddings or bringing on a trusted second to assist with your day.
For a regular session, often that answer is yes. But it must be discussed at least 48 hours before the session time to guarantee that as an option.
We shoot predominately with Nikon and Sony gear. Our lighting style is considered "available lighting" and we have and use everything from natural to artificial lighting, flashes/strobes and video lights among others to capture your session.
You do not! But we do encourage you use a professional lab for the best quality and lifetime of your images. We encourage labs like MPix and Calagaz as options.
Yes we do! Contact us directly to get a custom class and price. Workshops will be available come summer 2022.
