Chicago 102 Group Session [May 22] | Chicago, IL Photography Instructor

Happy Mentor Monday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to tackle the second week of August with a bang :) 

It’s actually fitting that I’m sharing this post today as I’m just now returning from being in Chicago for an awesome one-on-one session this past weekend! This recap is from my May visit where I held 101 and 102 group sessions. So here’s the 102 recap! 

We had SUCH a great time in this beautiful space and it was the perfect place to hold our session. It was also great to have Keyonna again as she attended my VERY first group session early last year in Little Rock :)

After going over the first portion of the workbook, we headed out for headshots!

Hear from Marina and Sacred on their two-day mentoring experience! 

“Danni was everything she is on social media in person. She has a wonderful spirit that you definitely want around you. When I left there I was so excited and ready to shoot and finally re-brand my business. I was getting frustrated because my photos wasn’t transferring over to my laptop as it was shown in my camera. I felt like my work wasn’t getting any better. Danni gave me some suggestions and now I have the same image from my camera now on my screen. This was a big load off of me. Danni is truly a blessing from God. This experience was for sure worth it. I walked it confused unsure of my talent and walked out confident and ready to take my business to the next level.”
-Marina K

“It was AMAZING! Her energy was just as I imagined, she was very knowledgeable & willing to share. It was so comfortable, like having lunch with a group of photog friends, learning & relaxing. It was a very learn & share environment.”
-Sacred E

Sooo appreciative of you ladies! I really had a great time with you both and look forward to the amazing things to come from both of you :)

Tameka | Brooklyn, NY Headshot Photographer

Happy Tuesday beautiful people!

No Truthy Tuesday today, I have a wonderfully vibrant session to share with you this afternoon :) Tameka aka Lady Shepsa of Let Go Let Goddess! We got together for her business promo session while I was in Brooklyn earlier this year and the day couldn’t have been more perfect!

We had an unusually cool spring this year, but this was a beautiful sunny day and Tameka’s warm personality was captured perfectly :)

Chicago 101 Group Session [May 21] | Chicago, IL Photography Instructor

Happy Mentor Monday!

I hope everyone is doing well on this beautiful Monday afternoon! I’m dealing with a cold myself but I AM feeling a little better than I have been these past couple days (thanks to Esberitox!) so I’m counting that as a definite win :)

In May I had the pleasure of teaching a super fun 101 session in Chicago! I had such a great time with this group and even after a last minute model change and quick styling job by me, we made it work! The weather was perfect, light was amazing, and our model? Simply wonderful! Tameka has one of the most infectious smiles ever! Check out her photos :)

Hear directly from the attendees on their experience: 

“Coming in, I didn’t know what to expect. I just knew for sure I had to be there. I really enjoyed the fact that the workshop was conducted in a small group setting. I feel like this created a comfortable environment where everyone was able to openly discuss the topics or struggles they were having. Danni was so warm and open and really demonstrated that she is truly gifted and knowledgeable. She was really engaged with us and was truly a blessing. As for my finished product, I was AMAZED. I called it having an ‘eyegasm’!”
-Tara M

“Simply put: WOW. Her knowledge and ability to instruct the technical aspect of photography has already increased my knowledge and confidence in my own photography one hundred fold. She was clear, patient, and even while creating a casual and relaxed learning environment, she was a consummate professional. I’ll definitely make sure to take the 102 Session :)”
-Rob W

Awww! You guys make my heart rejoice ^_^ Thank you soo much for the kind words! I look forward to working with you both the next time I’m in Chicago for the 102!

Kristian | Washington, DC Headshot Photographer

Next up? Kristian!

You may remember her face from our fab engagement session last September! This time we linked up to take headshots and business promo photos for her new practice- Resilient Child Therapy Institute, LLC! 

Headshots are some of my favorite things to do because they DON’T have to be cut and dry- just as with lifestyle photos, your headshots should absolutely show your personality in a warm and inviting manner- otherwise how else will potential clients want to do business with you? lol

Well I’m happy to say that we were able to do just that with Kristian :) Check out a few faves from her mini headshot session!
