Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! This weather is FINALLY cooperating and giving us beautiful days to enjoy :) I have soo much catching up to do with posting sessions to the blog and I plan to catch up a bit this week so keep checking back for newness EVERY day- especially Wednesday, I think I’ve made that unofficial Senior Day on the blog because I’m going to share 4 senior sessions!
But right now? It’s all about Yolonda!
Yolonda and I got together on a crazy cold afternoon in March for her session, but she has such a warm spirit, we didn’t even mind the cold ;) Ok, we definitely DID mind the cold, but she does have a warm spirit lol.
Our initial session had to be rescheduled because of snow… one of the last major snowfalls we had fell just before we were supposed to meet :( But thankfully we were able to reschedule and we had a great time! I can’t explain how much I enjoy getting together with fellow creatives and helping them simplify their photography lives- Yolonda’s session was no different :) I really enjoyed hearing about her photography goals, philosophy, vision, chatting with her about family and business… It was a very encouraging session for us both. Yolonda has such a beautiful personality and it shines through brilliantly in her work.
Here are a few faves from Yolonda’s headshot session:
Then we got together with our lovely models Natasha & Kenny to take a few maternity photos. Their session ended up being a mini due to the cold! They were troopers but we didn’t want to keep them out too long :)
I think I’ll give them their own post for their mini session :)
Here are a few words from Yolonda about her mentoring experience:
“My experience with Danielle was delightful. I had a great time and left her feeling clearer and more confident about my photo work. From our first online communications to finally meeting in-person, I found her to be professional and thorough as well as endearing and cool. She seemed to be thinking of everything, and I loved that. It made me feel safe to entrust my money, time and creativity with her. Before 1/3 of the day was over I had already learned so much! I’ve been photographing professionally for about 4 years. Danni related patiently and attentively with me from our first contact through to our wrap-up and departure to access my personal goals and then equip me with simple theories and actionable steps to elevate my current work; provide tips for more focused professional and creative endeavors both now and into the future; and drastically simplify my overall workflow, freeing me up to shoot even better photos straight-out-of-the-camera more and edit less. Money and time well spent. I would take advantage of other instructional offerings from Danielle and encourage photographers at any level to do the same.”
