2018 Headshot Special | Specials

Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going well!

Following up on last week's Brand Guide Freebie- As promised, I have something special for you! What is it?
 

The 2018 Headshot Special!
 

Typically, the only specials I hold are the seasonal Lifestyle Mini Specials (which will be coming soon btw- Spring Minis will be held on May 5 & 6 so save the date if you'd like to snag one! Booking for the Spring Mini Special will open mid March) BUT, this year I decided to try something new in the meantime :)

I want 2018 to be YOUR year! To get it off to a strong start, why not update your headshots!

Here are the details

The Mini Headshot Special will be booked in 60 minute increments- with makeup taking place first, photo session to follow.

This special is $425 and includes the following: 
- Professional makeup application for 1
- 20 minute headshot session for 1* 
- One outfit
- Your choice of 3 retouched high-resolution images (w/ option to purchase additional)

*Full body photos will be included, for a diverse final gallery to choose from!
_____

To take advantage of this special: You must be located in (or willing to travel to) the Washington, DC Area (Alexandria, VA). Your session must be booked no later than February 1, to be photographed on February 24. All headshot sessions will be photographed at an awesome indoor (and outdoor- weather permitting) location in Northern Virginia!

Sound good to you?

Yes! This is just what I need!

If you're ready to book, DON’T DELAY! There WERE 6 spots available on Monday, but now? There's just one left. Booking opens first to the mailing list, then to the general public, so if you want a greater likelihood of securing your preferred time for specials in the future, you should probably sign up :)

Not sure if this is what you need? Check out the regular business session packages here to see if one of those would be a better fit for you!

Well, I think that's it!

If you have a question that's not answered here, feel free to shoot me an email! I look forward to hearing from you soon and creating awesome business imagery with you next month!

Kreative Sentiments | Washington, DC Brand Photographer

We are midway through the second week of a new year... time just doesn't stop moving does it? 😩 As a business owner, time has a special way moving around these parts (too fast! lol), because there is always something to be done.

That simple fact is one reason why I enjoy photographing other business owners so much... because for a couple of hours, you don't have to worry about clients and their needs, it's all about you!

I had such a great time with sisters Kim & Kelley of Kreative Sentiments for their brand session, and I am in love with the resulting images! They are so sweet and it was a joy to capture their beauty, lovely personalities, and sisterly bond in photographs. 💖

Hear from Kim & Kelly on their experience with DFinney Photography:

"Danielle's work is AMAZING! Her eye for detail is like no other and she has this way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera while photographing you. Additionally, she really takes the time to understand the look and feel that you are going for with respect to your shoot. Naturally your outfits play a huge role in this, so she takes the time to know what your outfits are before hand, and makes excellent recommendations where needed. We trusted Danielle to capture the essence of our "sisterliness" on camera, being familiar with her quality of work, it was a "NO brainer" when it came to deciding who we wanted to take our brand photos.

Our brand session with DFinney Photography was INCREDIBLE! We had so much FUN working with Danielle! She was extremely organized and selected specific backgrounds and locations within walking distance of one another. And she was very patient, giving excellent direction to ensure that she got the photos she needed and images that we would love. Danielle is extremely professional, her editing process is seamless, she always goes the extra mile for her clients, and we couldn't be happier with our photos."

Day 4 | Truthy Thursday

...It's been a slooow start to the new year for me.

This time is characteristically busy and full of excitement; New year, new opportunities, new goals! But all of that excitement seems to have been lost on me this time around.

It all just feels like yet another day I have to muddle through. I know it is "just another day", but those "clean slate" feelings have escaped me completely, and I've been feeling kind of bad about that.

Honestly, it's still pretty tricky for me to actually "own" my bipolar 2 diagnosis and understand just how much it affects me :/ Sometimes I feel fine and I am able to get things done easily, be thoughtful, responsive... you know, normal adult things lol. Then (far more times), I feel quite the opposite of fine, and my accomplishments for the day are very minimal- just getting basic things done like: 

And not all of those things in one day lol. So while the world is excited about a new year, I'm just trying to manage consistently eating and actually getting out of bed when I wake up. 

Despite the daily mood and energy shifts, I am still chipping away at things and trying to be productive, so I guess that counts for something? It's just a long road to find exactly what works and what doesn't, so when I'm MIA for days or weeks at a time, that's why. I'm in the mix trying to figure this thing out... or just trying to make it through a crappy day.

While I inherently hope that 2018 will bring me closer to a better way of operating, I fully realize that it's going to take a LOT of effort, but I am ready for it and I look forward to seeing those improvements (no matter how small) in real time.

If you're feeling similarly about the new year, just know that you're not alone, and just like we got through 2017, we'll get through 2018. One day at a time 💚
