Hi I'm Korena Darnelle
A Barbados (Bajan) photographer
Creative | Passionate | Professional
Photography has always been a huge part of my life. I still remember sitting in a darkroom, watching my images develop – it was the greatest feeling in the world. While I miss those days, seeing your face light up when I show you a quick preview on the back of my camera screen makes my day just as bright.
For me, photography is about telling stories that matter and adding a little of my personality to each image. I specialise in lifestyle photography, event photography, portrait photography, and product photography throughout Barbados, creating images that capture authentic moments and genuine connections.
My Photography Style: Real Life, Beautiful Moments
My photography style blends candid and posed shots, and here’s the best part – you don’t have to be a model to feel comfortable in front of my camera. We’ll sit and chat to discuss the story you want to tell, then capture it in a way that feels natural and comfortable for both of us.
Whether you’re a family wanting to document everyday moments, a couple celebrating your love, or a business showcasing your products, I believe in creating a relaxed environment where your true personality shines through.
Why I Love What I Do
Lifestyle Photography: Capturing Life as it Happens
The mother in me understands how quickly our little ones grow up, which is why I’m passionate about lifestyle photography. From maternity sessions documenting your journey as a mother-to-be, to newborn photography capturing those precious first moments, to family sessions showing you simply enjoying time together – I love photographing life as it naturally unfolds.
No stress about forcing smiles or breaking up sibling fights. Instead, we focus on you doing what you usually do, letting genuine moments happen.
Event Photography: Every Celebration Has a Story
I absolutely love attending events – the food, the people, the energy of celebration. Your event has its own unique story to tell, whether you want to show guests having an amazing time or ensure sponsors are highlighted so they’ll want to return next year. I capture it all with the same enthusiasm I feel when I’m there enjoying myself.
Portrait Photography: Embracing You With Confidence
I know standing in front of a camera can feel intimidating – trust me, I get it. Maybe that’s why I prefer being behind the lens! But I also understand how important it is to have beautiful photos of yourself, even if you’re camera-shy. My goal is to help you embrace who you are with confidence, creating portraits that truly reflect your personality.
Product Photography: Making Your Brand Shine
Products are fascinating subjects that help highlight your brand and introduce the public to what you offer. I love the challenge of making each product stand out, showcasing what makes it special and compelling to your customers.
When I'm Not Behind the Camera
I’m a self-proclaimed ambivert who loves the mix and mingle of family and friends, but I also treasure quiet moments alone with my thoughts, hopes, and dreams.
You’ll find me at home with my family, eating ice-cream (any flavour except for peanut butter or bubble gum), helping with homework projects, washing hair, giving tickles, and kissing away tears.
I’m also a serious food enthusiast – I probably eat more than my husband and children combined! I love trying new flavors and cuisines.
The ‘weirdest’ thing I’ve tried so far is crocodile, bit I know there’s so much more to explore. Though I do draw the line when food looks like what it originally was – I nearly cried when my lobster arrived still in its shell!
Ready to Tell Your Story?
If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading! I really hope I get the chance to meet you and work with you. Whether you’re looking for lifestyle photography, event coverage, professional portraits, or product photography in Barbados. I’d love to help you capture the moments and stories that matter most to you.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
