It's April 2nd!!!

And DFinney Photography & Design has officially relaunched with a new look!!

It is with a somewhat heavy heart that I say goodbye to my old colors of blue and green and my old logo… only somewhat heavy because I am super excited about my new look!! I struggled with my new logo design a bit, but I wanted it to be a more accurate reflection of myself and my work and I think it fits perfectly :)

Check me out everywhere else (websitefacebooktwitter) and feel free to share the new & improved DFinney Phogography with your friends & family!

Take a look around at all the new things my blog now has to offer and leave a comment letting me know what you think! I’m anxious to hear a bit of feedback from you wonderful folks :)

March Recap

March was a remarkably slower month and I welcomed it with open arms lol… it gave me a little time to catch up on editing, design projects, and complete my rebranding process.

I did have a few sessions last month and here a few sneak peeks because I’ll probably do full posts on each of these sessions.

Felicity Ro was kind enough to indulge me and bring to life a couple ideas I had with this session. 2 completely different looks, one fabulous model :)

I was very much looking forward to this engagement session with Desiree & Devon because my brother and I will be shooting their wedding in October! Their own post is on the way, so here are just a couple for now :)

So this doesn’t happen too often, but I took a few photos of myself in March that I actually ended up loving lol. I’ve been wearing headwraps lately (mostly because I’m lazy and it helps when I don’t feel like doing anything to my hair lol) but I realized I didn’t have any photos in one, so I took some :)

Last session of the month was with Leah… I really enjoyed this session, she has a beautiful personality :)

Well now we’re all caught up! So stay tuned (or better yet subscribe) so you can keep up with all the latest posts.

January Recap

The new year got off to a buuusy start for me! I had TEN shoots- the most I’ve ever had in one month since I’ve been in business! Quite a few were Winter Mini Sessions so it was totally doable lol. Well let’s get started shall we :)

I started the new year with the beautiful Mariah who I’ve actually known for years! It was a pleasure when she got in touch with me for a photo session.

One of the highlights of the month for me was the awesome editorial I got to shoot for KISS Magazine! I was asked by Andrew Thomas Clifton (KISS Mag’s creative director) to design and execute a shoot for the magazine and I was so excited! I had soo many ideas but settled on the theme “Bohemian Gem” then assembled the perfect team to bring it to life: Wardrobe by Bianca Cerise & Tara Hamilton, Hair by Anastasia Arnold, Makeup by Stephanie Patterson, Nails by Celeste Hampton, and Photography by myself along with my assistant Debbie Camara. Here are just a few of my favorite shots from this awesome editorial (it totally deserves it’s own post which it will rightfully get :)

Whew! that’s a lot of pictures… well we’re only at the halfway mark lol

3 back to back mini sessions were scheduled for the 14th… now we had a warm winter, but that day it was COLD and these folks were troopers! We kicked the day off with Tae'lor, she was a natural in front of the camera.

Next up was the adorable Armstrong family! Baby girl was not feeling me (or taking pictures) but she warmed up eventually :)

We finished up the day with a gorgeous mom & son mini session… yes, you read that right! They totally look like siblings, don’t they?!

The 28th was another busy day as I entered the home stretch with the last 2 sessions of the month. First up was the Holland family :) I just couldn’t get enough of this little boy- adorable isn’t even the word!

DFinney Photography has a new look and a brand new blog!!

So this has been a looong time coming! lol I’ve been meaning to start a blog for over 2 years now, but I’m so happy to say that I’ve finally done it, and I’m quite proud of it! :D

Take a look around (there is now TONS of helpful information right here at your fingertips)! So while you’re getting acclimated to the new blog, I think I’ll kick things off with a recap of what’s been going on since the new year has started.
