2021 Part 2: Recap

2021 is alllmost out the door!

I gotta be honest though, I’d be lying if I said I was looking forward to the new year… not because I want 2021 to hang around! But mostly because this whole living in a pandemic thing is really really hard.

Despite the challenges that these past 2 years have brought us, I am grateful for all of the good things that have happened during that timeframe as well. It’s just such a strange thing to be simultaneously grieving several (ongoing) losses while at the same time trying to navigate daily life and infuse joy in moments where you can.

Truthfully, that’s what makes me enjoy what I do so much more- because even if for just those couple of hours that we’re together, my clients and I are able to carve out a few light and joyful moments, and we really need that.

Today I’m sharing Part 2 of the 2021 recap- my Q3 sessions! I decided to split up the second half of the year because it would have been a massive undertaking otherwise and I’m trying to simplify where I can lol.

Check out some of what we captured this past summer & hear from my clients directly re: their DFinney experience 💚

I’m so grateful to work with Danni because the entire experience from start to finish literally feels like luxury. I feel like I am being supported and taken care of from make up to all of the nuances that I may not always think about when it comes to shooting. Danni surpasses all of my expectations every single time!

-Maya Johnson

I've worked with Danni for brand photos as well as several times to capture my family, and the work that she puts in on the front end really makes all of the difference. I always walk into every session confident that not only that we're going to have some amazing photos but that we are going to have a great time. Every session with Danni exceeds our last! She has a easiness about her that's disarming, it promotes an atmosphere were we can relax and just enjoy the experience.

-Tykesha Burton

It was a wonderful experience! Danielle thought of everything and prepared you along the way. Leading up to the shoot, Danielle provided tips for things I should do, previewed my outfit, and provided options for shooting based on my needs and the look I was going for. I couldn't be more pleased. And the shoot... it was so much fun because she puts you at ease and hypes you up along the way! I was more relaxed than I had anticipated because of her prep work... and as a type A that is hard to come by :)

-TaWanna Berry

Danielle made the photo session feel like more of an experience and a treat. I know anyone who works with her will leave feeling special and like a queen because that is how I felt by the end of the day! She has such a personal touch to what she does while remaining professional at the same time. It was such a good experience.

-Rachelle McLeod

We really enjoyed our session, Danielle is very professional and laid back. She’s a great instructor and we felt extremely comfortable with her during our session. We LOVE our images!! Our experience was perfect, I would not change anything!

-Danielle Moore

An incredible experience from start to finish- from the initial planning and wardrobe selection to the day of the shoot, and receiving my photo gallery afterward. Everything about the process was seamless. Working with DFinney was an absolute joy! I highly recommend.

-Tiffany FitzGerald

Ok so… compiling this recap and reading everyone’s feedback together has me feeling a little emotional. I’ve always strived to provide a good experience for my clients, but it’s taken many years to get to the point where I am now. This was a year of many firsts for me (most were behind the scenes), but I can finally say that I’m happy with the experience I’ve created for my clients. So to have them echo those sentiments? 😭

Thank you 💚

The final 2021 recap (for Q4) will be coming soon-ish. I know better than to put an exact timeframe on it because it may come next week or in 8 weeks… but it’ll definitely be shared within the next 6 months lol.
