Moremi | Houston, TX Lifestyle Photographer

June 22, 2015

Happy Monday loves! I’d planned to do another installment of Mentor Monday today, but I decided I wanted to share these photos of Moremi instead :)

This will forever be one of my favorite sessions simply for how it even came about in the first place- serendipity brought Moremi and I together 💛

I went to Target for a few things when I touched down in Houston this past March and this beautiful woman in the cosmetics section caught my eye. I was dead tired but I had to let her know how gorgeous she was! I did and we instantly clicked like old friends. I mentioned that I was in town for work and wished I lived there so we could shoot… But then we arranged an impromptu shoot for my only free day while I was there! This was sooo far out of my comfort zone (and hers too) but I am sooo happy with the results ^_^

Not only did I get to photograph this beautiful woman, but I have a new friend :)

If you’re interested in booking a session and would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself, email me and schedule yours today! Currently booking: limited sessions for July and August 2015.

Houston 102 Group Session [March 14] | Washington, DC Photography Mentor

June 1, 2015

Next up today? The second day of my Houston mentoring- Session 102!

I’m loving how these sessions are generally a little more intimate as we go in depth on how to refine business practices so as to be more effective.

Also included in the day? Headshots! Check out these beautiful photos of my lovely mentees :)

I even (reluctantly) stepped in front of the camera for a few, but surprisingly, despite the fact that I don’t love my hair, I actually love these shots lol. Thanks Dani & Jay :)

^^^ I LOVE this one Dani!

Ha! Thanks for this capture Jay- here is the selfie we were taking lol.

Jay managed to capture a good deal of my randomness in photos and for that I am grateful lol (not all photos will be shared so as to protect the innocent- ME lol)

Hear directly from one of my two-day mentees, Jay, on his experience!

“It was truly a wonderful and fun experience!!! I enjoyed learning new things about editing images and using natural light more in my photography. I loved hanging out with the other mentees and getting to know them. I loved the cool laid back soulful experience of learning from Danni yet it was still professional! Danni truly is a very talented photographer, teacher and business woman and really knows how to connect with her mentees and make the session feel special for everyone.”

-Jay Scott

Aww thank you so much Jay! I had such a great time with you guys as well :)

If you would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself and participate in the next group mentor session, check out full details here, including upcoming cities and dates, and email me today if you’re interested in attending!

Houston 101 Group Session [March 13] | Washington, DC Photography Mentor

June 1, 2015

Happy Monday beautiful people and welcome to June! Can you believe that we’re almost halfway through the year?! The past 5 months have been a blur! A wonderful blur, but a blur nonetheless lol.

2015 has been a year full of teaching so far and I have had a great time meeting and working with so many great photographers! I can’t tell you how awesome it is to see someone have a lightbulb moment and finally “get it”! There’s nothing like it and it never gets old :)

Well this was an unexpectedly long intro! Sometimes I get long-winded when I talk about this lol. It’s Mentor Monday though and I finally am aiming to catch up on these March recaps lol.

So today? I’m super happy to share this fun Houston session! We had such a great time and took some awesome lifestyle photos in this beautiful space :)

And a quick trip outside for a little outdoor natural light practice :)

Hear directly from one of the mentees on his experience!

“My 101: Master Natural Light Shooting Session was just the shot in the arm I needed. Danielle has the knack for making all things photography seem so simple! Case in point, shooting using the Kelvin white balance. For some reason I was frightened to even give it a try. Yet she demystified it and made it so easy. Bye-bye Expo Disc. The day only got better from there! I love how Danielle’s photos look and couldn’t wait to learn her technique. My how surprised I was to learn she does very little to her photos in Lightroom and Photoshop but that it’s mostly done with correct settings in camera first. Eye opening for me!
Overall I was very satisfied with the level of instruction and the format of the session. It was well worth my time and travel.
Thanks Danielle for being so open and giving with your time and experience. I will recommend you to everyone I know.”
