The Korena Darnelle Experience
What makes a photography session truly special isn’t just the technical skill behind the camera- it’s the relationship, trust and creative vision we build together. Each client testimonial represents a unique story and connection that goes far beyond simply taking photos. From intimate portrait sessions to dynamic lifestyle photography, from professional product shoots to memorable event coverage, every experience is crafted with care and attention to detail.
My clients in Barbados and those visiting from abroad, trust me to capture their most important moments because they know I’m not just their photographer- I’m their creative partner.

My portrait session, what can i say about it? It was fun, I enjoyed it.
It was done in the heart of Bridgetown and I can say the chosen spots for the photos were unique. Korena also helped choose some of the poses and helped me to let loose and be myself. She’s fun to be around as a photographer, energetic, professional and trust me when I say they’ll be a few laughs in between. Upon receiving the photos it was as though they came to life and that’s what admire and love to see in a photo.
Would I book again? Definitely👍🏽❤️

During my photography sessions with Korena, I found her to be professional, courteous and polite. She put me at ease and I felt quite relaxed due to her calm demeanour.
I was extremely satisfied with the photographs taken, as they portrayed me as I wanted to be. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
– Janet (Portrait)


I did a professional portrait photoshoot with Korena and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The studio and space were well laid out and very comfortable. In addition to her photography skills, Korena was also so good at making me feel relaxed and comfortable in the space and in front the camera. Her welcoming, calm and friendly personality made me feel comfortable, especially considering that I am not accustomed to doing photoshoots.
After a few tips and direction from Korena, it wasn’t very long at all before I was completely at ease and just relaxed into enjoying the session. Of course, I love my final images and I can’t wait to book my next photoshoot with Korena. It wasn’t just a photoshoot; it was an experience.

I’ve had experience with Korena’s photography from her work with some of my birthing clients and I knew her work was awesome. So, when the opportunity came for her to document my family, I jumped at the chance!
Korena is unobtrusive, and blends in well with the family, and very respectful of each personality within the dynamic. She notices and captures the fine details that we all take for granted within family interactions, and her photography skills are quite amazing.
I would recommend Korena as a photographer for any life events where you want to capture the pure essence of life in the most personal circumstances.
– Andrea (Lifestyle, family)


Korena took every smile, every sensation, every emotion, and made it a beautiful testimony! I didn’t know which pictures to choose.

Korena is professional, innovative, intuitive and perceptive enough to capture moments that you might never think to document.
