Wednesday Update | STUDIOS Architecture & Red Thread Sessions

So I think I might institute a new thing… Wednesday Update- where I share the latest news and interesting info, anything new that’s going on with DFinney Photography! what do you think?

We’ll see if I stick with it, but today I have lots of news to share :)

If you follow me on facebook, twitter, or instagram, you probably already know this (I was super excited to share, I couldn’t wait till I blogged about it lol)… I was contacted by STUDIOS Architecture in DC for a last minute job for headshots yesterday and they turned out great! I think it was the quickest booking, shoot, and turnaround ever- all taking place in a matter of 2 days lol. I worked with STUDIOS last year for updated staff headshots so it was a pleasure to work with them again. I was so excited when I checked their website this morning:

Guess whose headshots are on the front page?? :D Such an awesome find! And congrats are in order for the 3 new Principals- congrats on your promotions!

Next on the agenda: Have you noticed the new badge over to the right? I am now a Red Thread Sessions Photographer!

What is Red Thread Sessions you ask? from their website:

It is a group of photographers who have graciously offered to donate their time to celebrate your adoption through photography. A Red Thread Session is a complimentary photography session held during your homecoming or shortly after you have become an adoptive family. Participating photographers have agreed to celebrate your adoption by completely waiving their session fee and offering edited proofs from your session at no cost to you.

So excited to be a part of this awesome organization and eagerly looking forward to my first session :)

Have you (or someone you know) recently added to your family by means of adoption? You might be eligible for a Red Thread Session!

How do you qualify for a Red Thread Session?
If you have added to your family through adoption within the last 3 months, you qualify for a Red Thread Session! Your adoption must have been final within the last 3 months. You may be asked to show proof of your adoption date given the charitable nature of a Red Thread Session. Each family qualifies for only one Red Thread Session per adoption and must sign a Red Thread Session model release.

If you’re interested, please visit their website for more helpful information

Well,that’s all the news and updates for today! Back to editing I go :)

Monochrome Motif | Washington, DC Fashion Photographer

This set was totally inspired by a skirt lol… yep, the moment I laid eyes on this awesome black & white striped skirt by Shannon at House of JAT, I knew I had to do a shoot with it. I was inspired by the skirt SO much I even bought shoes to match! Well kinda… I like stripes so I was going to get the shoes anyway lol.

When I came across this cool black & white mural in DC, the vision came together and my fabulous model Erica nailed it- These are the resulting images :)

Goodies!

Since rebranding in April, it has given me an excuse to get a few new things :)

I’m so excited about my new etsy items! Check out my lovely camera strap from See Lori Sew and custom flyer holder from BitsOHoney Designs!

And my super awesome new custom ipad skin from gelaskins.com!

I think I may be going overboard with the stripes lol… but I love it! :D

Till next time!

Mitchell Family | Bowie, MD Family Photographer

I am so excited to share these beautiful family photos with you! But before I jump in let me give you a little background :) A few years ago Devin & Vanita had adorable twin girls:

Fast forward to today and they are now a lovely family of five with a little sister! We got together for updated family photos a couple weeks ago and the resulting photos are nothing short of breathtaking! Take a look at Devin & Vanita’s beautiful family :)

After a quick outfit and location change… this next set of images are some of my favorite family photos to date! I knew I wanted to take photos of the girls playing with bubbles but I absolutely loved Vanita’s idea for the tutus!

Devin & Vanita- It has been a pleasure watching your beautiful family grow over the years and I am so thankful you’ve chosen DFinney Photography to be your family’s photographer :)

HU Graduate Jessica | Washington, DC Senior Photographer

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking Jessica’s graduation photos! She is a 2012 graduate of the Howard University School of Business and is as smart as she is beautiful :) I’ve known Jessica for a number of years so I was very happy to document this important milestone and I look forward to working with her family again in the future! 

Here is her session- Enjoy :)
