Hi, I’m Dareka — the photographer and storyteller behind Hello Sugar Photography. I’m so honored you’re here. My passion is capturing imagery that feels soulful and true, blending candid documentary moments with a touch of editorial refinement to preserve life’s most meaningful connections.
Beyond the lens, I’m a wife, a mother of two, and someone who finds beauty in the small, everyday details. Family, creativity, and connection inspire everything I create, and I carry that same heart into every story I’m entrusted to tell.
Welcome, sugar!
Your story is more than a set of posed images. It lives in the glances, the quiet whispers meant only for each other, and those rare moments when time seems to pause — when the world falls away, leaving only you and the ones you love.
That’s what I seek to capture: the genuine, meaningful moments that tell the truth of your story. My approach is gentle and intentional, creating space for you to simply be while I document the honesty and beauty of it all.
Thoughtfully capturing stories that's timeless.
Have a story to tell? I’d love to hear it. Let’s begin with a simple note.
