There is nothing typical about a portrait session with Darton, except his unique ability to touch the hearts of all children. During the session, Darton sensitively draws from your child emotions of trust and freedom of expression, and quickly an incredible rapport develops. Your child will feel special in a moment of time that will forever be held in a remarkable work of art. A Darton portrait magically releases the child within to all who view it.
