From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving Family Enterprise

Welcome to Darpet, a testament to the American dream captured through our professional photography. Founded by Peter, a Polish immigrant, Darpet began with a simple mission: to support his family in a new country. Today, Darpet is more than just a business; it’s a legacy of family, quality, and customer satisfaction, located right in the heart of Franklin Park, IL.

The Need for a Visual Identity

When we initially met with Darpet, their request was simple: a professional headshot of their CEO, Peter, for a magazine feature. However, as our discussions progressed, it became evident that Darpet lacked visual representations of their amazing staff and the essence of their brand identity. Recognizing the need for more comprehensive brand photography, we planned a series of in-person meetings to carefully outline their objectives and devise a strategy to authentically capture their story through images. Over three days, we conducted a detailed photoshoot, dedicating each day to a different aspect of their business. We captured images of their warehouse team, took broader team photos, and highlighted their operational space, effectively bringing every aspect of Darpet’s legacy to life through our lenses.

The Darpet Promise: Quality and Customer Satisfaction

At Darpet, everything is handled in-house, which guarantees that each product meets their rigorous standards for quality. Highlighting brand photos of their team in action was an important part of the vision. The team at Darpet, known for their kindness and welcoming nature, plays a pivotal role in maintaining this standard. This commitment to quality allows them to offer exceptional products, while also providing the personalized touch that their customers appreciate.

The Darpet Legacy Continues

As Peter steps back into semi-retirement, the next generation—Olga and Walter—are taking the reins at Darpet with pride. They are committed to upholding the family’s values of hard work and customer satisfaction. In the portraits below, you can meet the dedicated team (and future team) behind Darpet and witness firsthand the legacy and craftsmanship that define their brand.

Darpet’s story is more than a narrative of business success; it’s a celebration of family, heritage, and the enduring power of photographs to capture our deepest commitments and dreams.
