Bianca | Washington, DC Lifestyle Photographer

Happy Tuesday!

More beautiful people coming your way today :)

Today? The next in line of fellow creatives whose full sessions I never shared from their artist spotlight features. Today you get to check out the complete mini session from my fun shoot with Wardrobe Stylist, Bianca from September 2013! 

Bringing these sessions out of the archives has made me a bit nostalgic. We need to link up and make some magic Bianca! Take a look at some of our past work together!

It was a long time coming getting Bianca in front of the camera but she finally obliged (because she needed headshots lol) and she found it wasn’t bad at all :) So glad I got to capture Bianca’s fun & funky personality!

Details! Look at that necklace! And those shoes  ♥ 

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: March and April 2015. 

Danyelle | Alexandria, VA Lifestyle Photographer

Good Thursday evening lovelies!

I’m doing a rare evening post because it just can’t wait until tomorrow! Lol. I am so excited to share this with you guys that it had to be posted tonight :)

Paul Carrick Brunson of Oprah’s Lovetown, USA has just launched a brand new series on his site called the #GoodPeopleProject and I had the privilege of shooting the very first one! Thanks to Danielle Belton for the lovely recommendation :)

I won’t go into too much detail here, because I want you to check out her interview, but I will say that Stephanie (makeup), Bianca (styling), and I had such a great time working with Danyelle for this photo session! She has a wonderfully infectious personality that just makes YOU happy by being around her!

Take a look at her session below for a look at what I mean. I think these perfectly capture Danyelle’s beautiful personality :)

How cool is this wall?! Quite fitting :)

Tequila Sunrise Pt 2 | Washington, DC Fashion & Editorial Photographer

So this took me a bit longer than expected lol… When I tell you last month was busy, it was BUSY! Now that I have a few spare moments (literally) I finally got the chance to finish up the editing on this awesome shoot! This was a fun project my favorite stylist Bianca and I worked together on and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Here is Part 1 if you missed it :)

Huge thanks to the talented team involved (esp for getting up at 2 in the morning)!

A Neon + Neutral Wedding | Washington, DC Wedding Photographer

Happy Tuesday!

As promised… it’s here, it’s here! The long awaited Neon + Neutral Wedding Editorial :) I’m soo excited (& a little nervous) to share these photos! 

I’ve been inspired by the Neon + Neutral trend and I wanted to try my hand at bringing that trend to life for a wedding. I wanted it to have an eclectic mix of modern colors with a hint of vintage style and decor. These vendors (linked at the bottom) did a fabulous job bringing the vision to life! I learned a lot during this process as it was my first time doing anything of this magnitude, but I am happy with the results :)

Here it is finally: A Neon + Neutral Wedding!

A huge THANK YOU goes out to all of the participating vendors below who helped make this possible! Definitely make sure you check out each of their sites and show them some love :)

Tequila Sunrise Pt 1 | Washington, DC Fashion & Editorial Photographer

Good morning lovelies! I hope you all had a great weekend :)

Despite the sweltering heat and sleep deprivation, I had a great weekend! lol… One of the highlights? This awesome shoot I can’t wait to share with you :)

My faaavorite stylist Bianca had this beautiful shoot concept and I couldn’t wait to shoot it! But wait I had to… the original date for this shoot was back in July- the day after the powerful derecho hit our area :/ So needless to say, we had to reschedule. We were so bummed, but things couldn’t have come together more perfectly :)

This was my first time shooting at sunrise and hopefully not my last! (I’m still not a fan of having to get up so early lol) but the photos totally made it worth it!

Huge thanks to the talented team involved (esp for getting up at 2 in the morning)!
