Michel | Washington, DC Lifestyle Photographer

Happy Wednesday beautiful people!

How have you guys been? I have been on the move this month and haven’t had a chance to check in! 

This has probably been my busiest Spring season ever and the Summer is kicking off with a bang as well, but I will be taking it easy come July :)

So… what do I have to share with you guys today? A beautiful session with my love Michel! I first met her last year when she booked a fall mini session. Things started out a little timidly as she expressed that she was nervous because she didn’t really take pictures, but by the end of the session she was so relaxed and radiant! It was absolutely beautiful.

I was really happy when she reached out this year for a full session to document her quarter of a century milestone :) Her goal was to do something completely natural and simple… she wanted the session to showcase self-acceptance. Accepting and loving herself just as she is. When she told me that I couldn’t wait to photograph her! I’d recently done a similar session with Andrew so I completely got where she was coming from.

The day of her session came and it turned out wonderfully. Michel has a beautiful spirit and I think these photos reflect that very nicely :)

If you’re interested in a session and would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself, email me and schedule yours today! Currently booking: July & August 2014. 

Dorinne | Washington, DC Senior Photographer

And last but certainly not least today, we have my dear Dori.

I’ve known Dorinne for I don’t know how many years and it has been amazing watching her grow  and mature into a beautiful woman before my very eyes. I feel like an old lady saying this, but i’m not lol. Dori is one of my good girlfriends and is definitely like family to me so I was so happy to photograph this important occasion for her.

This lovely lady graduated from the University of Maryland- where I briefly attended back in 2006- but SHE graduated lol.

Check out my faves from her session! And prepare yourself because she is giving all types of natural fierceness- it’s like she doesn’t even try! She makes me sick lol.

Regina | Washington, DC Senior Photographer

Happy Wednesday! Today is unofficially Senior Day on the blog because I have three lovely senior sessions to share with you :)

First up is Regina!

Regina’s sister Desiree has been a long time client of mine so I was super happy to work with Regina this time to take her senior pictures! 

Regina graduated last month from Stephenson University with a degree in Psychology and is ready to take on the world! 

Love this shot :)

Peace out school! Lol

So I don’t officially offer design services anymore, but I do offer photo based designs from your photo session including announcements, invitations, and/or thank you cards. Here’s a look at Regina’s double-sided graduation announcement design!

A Little Summertime Fun | Washington, DC Senior Photographer

Happy Tuesday!

As promised, I have a little summertime warmth to bring your way on this cold afternoon. I can’t believe it’s not even officially winter yet! After Saturday we’ll officially be in winter, although it’s felt like January for almost the past month!

Anyway, let’s take our mind off the cold a bit and remember the warmth and sun of September!

I had been wanting to take pictures at a carnival for a while now and I finally was able to make it happen this year! Thanks to these lovely ladies for being available for my last minute idea and to Denyelle for their beautiful natural makeup. Reva, Anna, Emily, and I had such a great time that afternoon! They were the perfect group of friends and embodied the exact feeling I wanted to convey with a shoot like this :)

Aren’t they adorable? Thank you again to Reva, Anna, and Emily for helping me out with this!

India | Washington, DC Senior Photographer

Happy Wednesday beautiful people!

Running a bit behind with today’s posts, but I wanted to make sure I shared these today! First up we have my beautiful friend India! You may have been introduced to her already if you follow me on social media as she was working with me  this summer as an intern. It was a pleasure working with her and she was super helpful in caring for various admin responsibilities here at DFinney Photography.

India graduated in May this year from Bowie State University receiving her Bachelor’s of Science in Communications with a focus on Public Relations. Her goal is to become a marketing director or public relations representative with the ultimate goal of working in the fashion industry! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this young lady :)
