Our Team

Darla Clarkson

Owner & Lead Photographer

With over 30 years of dedicated photography experience, Darla Clarkson brings a rare blend of creative intuition and technical mastery to every session. As the founder and lead photographer of Savannah Brand Photography, Darla created the company to help entrepreneurs and businesses visually express their brand’s essence through intentional, high-quality imagery.

Her deep love for storytelling and the art of photography shines through in every project, shaped by decades behind the lens, hands-on industry training, and her
unwavering commitment to excellence. Darla studied under renowned commercial product photographer Joe Glyda, whose four decades of expertise further sharpened her eye for detail and elevated her technical skills. She is also a PPA Certified Professional Photographer, a credential that reflects her dedication to ongoing growth and professionalism in the field.

As vice president of her BNI chapter in downtown Savannah, Darla actively supports and connects with other local business leaders, believing in the power of community as much as creativity. Whether capturing subtle brand details or bold visual statements, she brings warmth, clarity, and artistry to every frame, helping clients show up with authenticity and heart.

Outside the studio, Darla is a proud wife, mother, daughter, and Mimi. Her family is at the center of her life, and she’s known for caring deeply for the people she loves, balancing her roles at home and in business with grace and dedication.
