About Judy Darby

Judy Darby is a photographer and freelance writer in Madisonville, Louisiana. Originally from Ruston, Louisiana, she lived in Weston, Connecticut for more than 20 years before moving to south Louisiana where she met her long-time significant other, Noel Brumfield, a U.S. Coast Guard licensed 100-ton captain. Judy exchanged a 15-acre tract on Interstate 20 in Ruston for Vista Farm in 2005 and is turning it into a protected habitat for small wildlife and native plants.
