Hey ya’ll hey. It’s time for another recap!
This time we’re looking back on Summer & Fall of 2022 🧡
ICYMI: here’s Part 1 of the 2022 recap
Fall tends to be the most popular season for photos and last year was no exception! The second half of 2022 was full of family and brand sessions, with a couple graduation and “just because” sessions as well.
The weather was AMAZING! We had so many beautiful sunny days and the most colorful fall season we’d seen in years!
The other thing that made me SUPER happy? How many familiar faces I got to see! I forgot the exact figure but I think 60% of my sessions were with repeat clients. That’s huge!
I love showing our history when I share photos of repeat clients, but since there were so many, I only did that with my family clients this time :)
Let’s get into it!
“I loved the streamlined process that started immediately after you booked. You can tell Danielle put a lot of time and effort into ensuring her clients are fully prepared for their shoot and confident that things will go well. I also appreciated the wardrobe support and input on ways to improve the overall look. There was clear direction throughout the shoot, which helped me not feel so awkward in front of the camera. She was well aware of the right angels and imperfections that I didn't want captured. The makeup artist that was provided was also amazing at her craft! I could go on and on, but overall experience was great and well worth it -- especially for someone who's really looking to elevate their overall brand.”
-Teaira Abston
“Working with D was dreamier than I could have imagined. You truly get what you pay for with her photography. She has an amazing workflow in place to make sure everything is aligned well before the day of your shoot. I'm such a last minute person, but she doesn't allow you to be with her reminders (I say this in the most positive way possible). On the day of the shoot, I just loved D's energy - it's calming but I could also tell when she was excited. As someone who doesn't feel super comfortable in front of the lens and usually feels insecure about photos of myself, she made me feel like a model.”
-Gina Psallidas
“Everything about my experience with DFinney Photography was flawless from beginning to end. The reminders, white glove customer service, and overall care made me feel extremely comfortable and respected as a client. I don't love photo sessions and made it clear upfront how awkward I could be and how uncomfortable these types of sessions made me feel. Danielle acknowledged my concerns and let me know that she'd help me to feel comfortable and confident. This support included assistance with selecting my final outfits and helping me to pose. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Danielle and am thrilled with my final photos!”
-Lakeya Cherry
“The experience was great! The initial form and assessment really helped me to drill down on what I wanted for my photos. The photo session itself went really well, I felt encouraged throughout which helped me to relax and be natural. I felt seen, I felt heard and it is displayed in my pictures. Danielle overdelivered and I definitely plan to work with her again in the future.”
-Marvice Mazyck
“The whole experience was great! I appreciated how organized and detailed the process was. Danielle's talent and passion for her work is evident when you interact with her and in the final product. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful and I look forward to working with her again!”
-Candace Koman
“I decided to book with DFinney because I had never in my life seen pictures this beautiful of regular people. Danielle understands the black complexion and literally and figuratively put us in the best light. Amazing doesn't even capture the essence of my experience. Being in such a place of transition in my life and career I was so busy working and trying not to drown. This helped me stop, look at myself and be proud of where I am, even though I'm not yet where I want to be. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I will certainly be back!”
