Mae | Washington, DC Lifestyle Photographer

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing the very beautiful and equally as talented Mae aka Natural Chica! 

If you are a natural hair lover, I’m sure you already know who this is :) With over 81,000 subscribers to her youtube channel, Mae is one of THE go-to resources for all things natural hair- everything from product reviews, style tutorials, healthy hair tips- Mae has it all! So it’s safe to say that I was beyond thrilled when I noticed she became a fan of my DFinney Photography facebook page a few months ago! I reached out to thank her and extended the offer for a photo session- fast forward a few months and she graciously took me up on my offer :)

We decided to go with a laid-back vintage inspired session and I am suuper excited to post these images! The makeup artist Denyelle and I had a blast working with Mae! She has such a sweet personality and I think her photos reflect that beautifully :) 

Here’s where you can find Mae online:

Monday Memories: Jeremy & Vanessa | Washington, DC Engagement Photographer

Happy Monday everyone!

I’ve been a bit MIA this past week- and will be for the most part this week as well, because I am busy busy working on 2 exciting projects coming up- and I can’t wait to share them with you guys :)

In the meantime, I want to leave you with a bit of a throwback session. I looked at the date and it just happened to be 2 years to the day that I shot Jeremy & Vanessa’s engagement session!

I grew up with Jeremy and when he got in touch for engagement photos, I was thrilled! As soon as I met his beautiful fiance Vanessa (and now wife of almost 2 years!) I knew their session was going to be a lot of fun. They were naturals in front of the camera and their session turned out great- definitely one of my favorite engagement sessions to date!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session-

Enjoy :)

Have a great week guys!

Project Sneak Peek | Washington, DC Engagement Photographer

If you’ve been keeping up with my June Photo A Day project on instagram, then you may remember seeing the behind the scenes photo on the right I posted last week :)

I had the privilege of working with this beautiful couple on a project which you’ll see more of in the coming month :)

For now, I’m going to leave you with a few sneak peek photos from their session.

Enjoy!

I Love These Folks | Bowie, MD Family & Child Photographer

About a month ago (sheesh, it’s been that long already?!) I got my sisters together because I wanted up-to-date photos of my nieces & nephew! I was so happy we finally got together- the kids were cooperative, the weather was nice, and it was a great day for pictures… except for the fact that we are generally a late family lol. By the time we got out to the field, we had about an hour of daylight left, but we made it work!

Here are the photos from my latest shoot with my sisters and their families :)

June Photo A Day Project!

In between client sessions and everyday life, I like to do a photo project every now and then. This month I’m participating in Fat Mum Slim’s ongoing photo project. She’s been doing these every month since the beginning of the year! I did it for February since it was a short month with a combination of my phone + my real camera, but this month I’m challenging myself to stick with it using just my phone + ipad. Having instagram makes it a bit more interesting so I’m enjoying it way more this time around :)

Here are my photos so far this month (you can click on each to make it bigger). Follow me on instagram: @dfinneyphoto for the photo each day!
