If Darrell Pierson had never married Sherry Whitney, BodyPhotage would never have been born.

Our company is the creative fusion of our combined personalities, insights and talents AND our mission: to unveil the beauty in every body.

The BodyPhotage partnership is as much a husband-wife collaboration as our marriage. It combines Darrell's quarter-century of experience as a skilled commercial and fine art photographer, his artistic gifts and sensitivity AND my sensibilities as a woman with a dedicated concern for the social and psychological well being of all women. Our ultimate goal is to affirm the self-image of every client who steps through our door by revealing what we believe to be true:

In every body is a work of art.™

Darrell's former commercial and fashion photography client list includes 3M, Ford Motor Company, BMW and many well-known individuals. But after 20+ years in the industry traveling and juggling two studios he was looking for a change and new inspiration.

After we met, the philosophy for BodyPhotage developed quite naturally. We believed we could allow people, especially women, to see themselves through an artist's eyes. And we have watched and cheered (and been inspired by!) the transformations that take place - both during photo sessions and as clients look, with delighted disbelief, at their body portraits

One client wrote, "It is amazing to finally see yourself as what you've always only wished you could be - to finally feel like a truly beautiful person." It's true - what matters most is how you see yourself.

Darrell knows how to use light and shadows and posing techniques to accentuate all your positives and to minimize your perceived flaws. His quiet confidence and calm assurance are contagious; clients respond to his direction, and I bring a feminine perspective to the mix, providing a helping hand and a safe comfortable environment in which to work. At BodyPhotage we find the model in you - and we quietly coax it out.

Darrell and I agree - this is by far the most satisfying work either of us has ever done. In a small way, we get to affect people's lives by changing the way they feel about themselves.
