Did you know passionate kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute? A Hershey’s kiss contains 26 calories, which takes five minutes of walking–or about four minutes of kissing–to burn off.
Did you know engagement rings are often worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because the ancient Greeks maintained that that finger contains the vena amoris, or the “vein of love,” that runs straight to the heart?
Did you know that my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session?

With the exception of Beanie Babies, I’ve never been a collector. I’ve always wanted to display a shelf of really cool “things” of a similar sort, but the honest truth is I’ve never really cared enough about “things” to really get a collection going. In elementary school my friends collected Hello Kitty gadgets, Pogs, Pokemon cards, yo-yos, et cetera. I was the girl with one pack of Pokemon cards (didn’t get a legit holographic Charizard, so quit after my first pack), one American Girl doll whose hair I chopped too short (instantly regretted but tried to talk my friends into doing the same), and one Fireball yo-yo (which I never [...]

First of all, HAPPY FALL!!! Is anyone else as excited as I am for the eve of winter? Besides the Santa Ana blustery nights, I think I’m pretty stoked on the seasonal change- especially the coming of holidays. As fabulous and relaxing as summer is, I feel like Fall is prime time.

Bring on the rain boots, cozy clothes, and heavy baking. Bring on the thunder, the lightning, and Home Alone series (maybe not the Home Alone with the new kid). I’m [...]

Andrew has spent the last month, countless hours behind the computer screen, building a customized blog for the Whitney Darling face. He’s personally coded and trimmed a home for my thoughts, a haven for my photography, and a new dwelling place for me to grow as a professional. Get this: he listened to what I have long envisioned for my site, and went to town in a sketch book, [...]

Greetings!!! So glad to be back on the blogosphere with all you crazies. WOOHOO! I’d like to formally extend a warm welcome from my brand spankin’ new blog, and abiding home of Whitney Darling Photography. Isn’t is just fab? All custom designed by a very special guy, who has a big fat shout-out coming. With my growth and commitment to photojournalism, it was about time I invested in a more dynamic showcase of my prized possessions- pictures of your faces!
It’s such a privilege to share with you my latest work as I’ve been seemingly MIA this past month. I haven’t fell off the face of the Earth; I’ve actually been [...]
