Shajara & Ravee | Washington, DC Lifestyle Photographer

Happy Friday! You made it to the end of another week, and I hope your Friday is treating you well 💚  

Today I have a gorgeous session to share with you from last fall; this couple was such a joy to work with!

Shajara & Ravee were visiting from Charlotte and wanted a DC session to celebrate both their anniversary and Ravee's birthday! Shooting at the monuments was very important to them, so to make sure we had the best light and the least amount of people, we did a sunrise session!*

Sunrise sessions sound great in theory, but man are they hard for a non-morning person (like myself)... BUT I don't mind sacrificing for the sake of art lol. It was a very cold late November morning but you would never know looking at their final images :) We took warm-up breaks, and the gorgeous light helped to heat things up a bit.

In the end, despite the frigid weather, we had a great time and Shajara & Ravee walked away with a gorgeous set of images!

*Note: If you are interested in shooting at any of the DC monuments, yours will be a sunrise session :)

Pam + Oronde | Atlanta, GA Lifestyle Photographer

It's a brand new week! Slowly but surely... my goal is to become regular at this here blogging thing again! Today I'm sharing the most recent session from one of my favorite clients :)

Pamela and I have been connected for... wait. it's going to be 5 years this year! And when I tell you she has been a wonderful client, that is a true understatement.

Our first shoot together was an engagement shoot with her fiance, Oronde! Shortly thereafter we did senior photos for her son, and family photos with her two boys! Pam moved from the DC area to Atlanta with her fiance and got married, but our connection didn't stop there! The following year, in Atlanta, we did a family session with the whole family (minus her oldest as he was away at school)!

It has been a true joy seeing her beautiful relationship and family blossom over the years and I count it a privilege to be able to document it all ♥

This past year on my annual Atlanta visit, we got together for a mini anniversary session! Check out my faves:

Will I be visiting Atlanta this year? Yes! More details on that will actually be coming right up in a post to follow shortly :)

Heather | One-on-One Mentor Session 101 | Washington, DC Photography Instructor

Next up for today? My one-on-one session with Heather!

What I love about the 1:1 sessions is that we can go in depth on the specific areas where assistance is needed- and we're able to see the immediate improvement the same day! Not only that, but the models selected are tailored to fit those needs, which makes the whole day a cohesive learning experience.

Heather and I had such a great time together during her session!

Our wonderful models Candace and Lee were actually celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary! It was a true pleasure working with them and commemorating 10 years with beautiful photos ♥

Check out some of my favorites from our session:

What did Heather think of her session? Hear from her directly on her DFinney Mentoring experience:

"I had so much fun with Danielle! Everything was perfect. Her preferred make up artist was a joy to work with, the couple that she chose did an amazing job... The techniques that were taught, I was able to use them right away and ever since!

There were a lot of moments where I was like 'Oooh Okay!' and everything kinda clicked. I'm so glad I took this session, now I'm looking forward to Session 102!"

John & Chandra | Washington, DC Engagement Photographer

Happy Thursday and welcome to a brand new month!

I can hardly believe it's September you guys! It's been a busy summer season, and I'm looking forward to celebrating the 7 year anniversary of DFinney Photography later this month :)

Today though? I want to share a beautiful engagement session with you!

Back in May, I met John & Chandra for their engagement photos and (after a couple cold and rainy weather-related reschedules) we finally ended up with one of the first beautiful days of the season for their session! That day just happened to be right after their return flight from Asia! But make it work we did :)   

John & Chandra were the sweetest to work with and documenting their love was so easy :) Take a look at their gorgeous DC engagement session ♥ 

If you’re interested in an engagement session (or a just because session with your boo :) and would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself, email me and schedule yours today! Currently booking: October and November 2016.

Happy Saturday lovelies! Day 7 of Wedding Week! Thank you for tuning in and checking out all of the lovely photos I had to share things week!

Today I have a gorgeous one year anniversary session with my friends Tiffany & Alonzo to share! It has been so awesome to document their story over the past year+ from their engagement, to their wedding, and now their first anniversary!

In true Tiff & Zo style, their one year anniversary session was just as glamorous as can be- full of color, style, and good light :)
