Stacy | Washington, DC Brand Photographer

Happy Wednesday to you 💛

Picking back up on my mission to share my backlogged 2016 sessions, today I am sharing a super fun business session I did with my beautiful friend and mentee Stacy!

Stacy is a wonderfully talented Orlando photographer! We first met early last year for mentoring sessions 101 and 102 in Orlando, and last October she visited DC for my styled mentee shoot and her own business photo session!

When I tell you we had so much fun, that is an understatement!

It is such a pleasure working with genuine people and Stacy is just that. Just as kind as she is beautiful, it is always a joy to spend time together :)

Check out my faves from her session!

Harrison Family | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Good Sunday evening to you!

I hope your weekend was a pleasant one :) I am writing this at the end of a very busy weekend of shooting and gearing up for what might rival last year as my busiest fall season ever!

I didn't get a chance to blog much (or any) of the sessions in their entirety from last fall, so I'm going to begin sharing now and will hopefully catch up by the time the season ends lol.

First up is a sweet mini session with the beautiful Harrison Family! I first worked with them in Fall 2015, and I was so happy to get them back in front of my camera for updated photos in Fall 2016 🍂💛🍁

2017 FALL MINIS! | SPECIALS

Happy Wednesday!

TODAY is the day you get in on the action- Fall Mini Sessions are here!

Those who signed up for our mailing list got exclusive access to book beginning Monday- a full 2 days before anyone else- and as a result, just 4 spots remain!

Please please don’t wait because if Monday was any indication, these will go fast as well! So grab one while you still can!

Mini Sessions are $295 and include the following:

• Professional makeup application for 1
• 30 min photo session for up to 4 people
• 1 outfit
• 15 proofs selected by the photographer
• 1 mounted 5x7 print
• Private digital proof gallery for ordering

Additional prints and digital files are sold a la carte.

To make sure everyone looks as fabulous as can be- makeup is included in the session fee! That way you save a bit because it would be an additional $40 if you paid for makeup separately. You can expect the same flawless look for your photos that you see on my site because you’ll be working with my favorite makeup artist- Denyelle D. Beauty :) 

To take advantage of this special mini session offer, you must be located in (or willing to travel to) Washington, DC. Your session must be booked no later than October 14, 2017 for a session to be photographed on November 4 or 5, 2017. All mini sessions will be photographed at an awesome location in the city!

8 Years! | News & Updates

Good Thursday evening to you! Just stopping in with a lonnng overdue post...

It's been a while since my last update, but I've been busy trying to get my life together. Although I haven't made the effort lately to (publicly) #talkaboutuncomfortablethings, they are still very present. I began talking about my struggle living with mental illness last year when I was newly diagnosed, but this year I haven't done much sharing. Not because I am ashamed, I'm just tired. 

So much so, that every time I sat down to write this blog, it went a little something like this:

"Too busy managing to sit and talk about how you've been managing is very real." -Yodith D.

One step forward, three steps back, two to the side, a spin, and so goes the waltz with my mental health. Most times I don't know who the DJ is, much less what song is playing. So while my clients are taken care of, this post for a long while seemed like an immovable mountain that I could simply tip toe around. Jotting down an outline felt like too much. Selecting photos felt like too much. Typing coherent thoughts felt like too much... and now I kinda want to lie back down.

But I'm finallllly pushing through so... on with the updates:

---

First up? DFinney Photography turned 8 years old earlier this month.... Eight!

I also turned 30 this month, and honestly, I can hardly believe that I've been at it this long. The majority of my 20's! I'm learning more and more every day that time works in its own strange way and this past year is no exception.

My wonderful clients have kept me busier than EVER and I couldn't be more thankful. In addition to creating beautiful imagery with clients I've come to love, these past 8 years have connected me with other like minded individuals who have become invaluable! You have been patient with me in my vulnerability and I can't express how much that means to me. I am so thankful to be apart of such a loving and supportive community. 

"In the midst of the ups and downs you go through, I hope you never lose sight of how truly loved and admired you are." -Samia M.

What else, what else...oh yes! I was featured in the September/October 2017 issue of Click Magazine! 😬

I was contacted a few months back to do a short write-up and share a few photos for an article on my lifestyle business imagery! I'd honestly forgotten about it because things have been so hectic, but earlier this month I finally received the physical copy and I was ecstatic!

Like... this is an absolutely stellar publication. And to have MY work featured in it? I really can't fully express how much this means to me. It was an honor to be considered and I am so thankful for the opportunity!

Before I go, I want to remind you that tomorrow is the official start of Fall! Andddd Fall Minis are on the way!

Fall Minis are being held on Saturday, November 4th and Sunday the 5th!

Booking for Fall Minis will begin on Monday, October 2nd at 10:30am EDT for those on the mailing list, and Wednesday, October 4th for everyone else. Now because Fall Minis book VERY quickly, I would suggest you join the mailing list if you haven't already, but that's merely a suggestion... a strong one lol.

Interested? Check out more info here. Details listed are for the Summer Mini Special, but the pricing and package info is the same. Fall details will be added on October 1.

Well... I think that's it!

Thanks for hanging in there to the end with me :) I look forward to hearing from you soon and getting you on the calendar for your Fall session!

Tareva | Atlanta, GA Lifestyle Photographer

Happy Friday to you!

I'm stopping in today to share a gorgeous session with you from my Atlanta visit back in May! One of the clients I had the privilege of working with while in Atlanta, was Tareva. 

We had such a great time for our session, that I could have continued taking photos with her all day! It really makes me thankful that I do this for a living when I have the opportunity to work with such kind and genuine people like Tareva- not to mention beautiful :)

So it was a true honor to capture her essence and the resulting photos are just gorgeous!

How did Tareva feel about her session? Hear from her directly:

"Thank you so much, Danielle! For how easy the shoot was and how gorgeous the results are. I'm so appreciative of your work. Your talent, professional, and warmth made our photo session wonderful! [When I received my photos in the mail], the packaging was everything! I would work with you again and I will recommend you to any and everyone I know in the market for professional photos!"

-Tareva Johnson

Thank you soo much Tareva! It truly was an honor to work with you ♥
