Do tell, darling. Who is Darcy Sherman?
What’s in a name? Why Sassafras? Sassafras is
a nod to the past . . .an old fashioned flavor, which I feel I add to my photos.
How long have you been doing this? I have been taking photos forever, as my dad was a professional photographer. I have had my own business for about a year now.
What drew you to photography? My dad inspired me to look at things differently. I have always felt that his ‘out of the box’ creativity formed who I am as a person.
How do you choose your shoot locations? I really love to juxtapose young families with history, therefore, I choose spots that have great old junk, cars or gnarly century-year-old trees.
What is most important for good pictures? For me, a
good picture is simple. I don’t
like cluttering photos with unnecessary things. You seem to have a particular affinity for photos of children. Default or design? I would say
a little of both. Naturally,
people want their kids photographed – I
walk away from a photo shoot in love with each kid and believe their beauty
unparalleled to any on earth.
As an artist, what do you see behind the camera lens that the rest of us don’t? I doubt that I see anything different behind the lens. I DO know that I have a great way of relaxing people and I know how to have fun. That is the secret, I truly believe.
Rumor has it a few children you have taken photos of have recently been signed as models with a Denver agency. What was it about their photos in particular that drew you to submit their images? Yes – this is true. Some moms ask me to submit their children’s photos but others I choose on my own. My measure is more by how the child reacts to the camera rather than model looks, per se.

Word
of mouth is big, but website traffic is picking up!
What would be your perfect day?
My

friends.
What is your favorite food / recipe?
I
honestly cannot answer that . . .wait, does apple pie count as a food group?
Last book you read?
Bill
Bryson’s “Home”, and I LOVED it! I
recently reread “Grapes of Wrath” and “Of Mice and Men” . . . obviously I am on
a Steinbeck craze.
