Hi, I am Darragh Goeckel!

You probably have no clue how to say my first or last name, but I hope that doesn't scare you away too fast! I have always been a detail oriented person which is sometimes a fault of mine in my mom's opinion haha! Any project I am given is not complete until every detail is perfect, this will include your sessions pictures, too. So, I hope you consider me to help capture images in the moment so when you look at them down the road and a smile is brought to your face.

For more on my background as a photographer- ever since I was given my first iPod touch I have loved taking pictures. I used to spend hours taking pictures of my family members, friends, and flowers around my yard with that thing. When I reached 7th grade, my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas (a Canon Rebel T5) after I had tried out one of my middle school teacher's camera and decided that it was something I really did want. Up until the summer before my junior year of high school, I mainly used the camera to take pictures of my family and have fun little photoshoots with my friends. But then I took my boyfriend, Hunter's senior pictures and I realized I no longer wanted it to just be a hobby.

I am now 21 years old, a recent graduate from Grand Valley State University, and renovating my first home with my fiance. For my growth, I have my supportive family, fiance, friends, community, clients, and of course God to thank. Besides photography, I am a Christian who loves soccer, board games, any type of music, and spending time with her friends and family!

That may have been an overload of information, but I hope you consider me to be your photographer- whether it be for your senior pictures, engagement/couple pictures, your wedding, or your elopement!
