Breast Cancer Awareness October Specials

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and DFinney Photography is participating in a big way this year!

Just as a reminder, mini sessions available year round for previous clients only but from time to time, they are available to the general public for a very limited time- like now! :) We will be offering special mini sessions on October 27th and 28th (5 slots each day) and 10% of each session booked will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure! 

FAQ
What does my session fee cover?

This special offer includes the following:
*20 minute photo session for up to 4 people
*Custom editing of the best 10 photos as chosen by the photographer
*Private ordering gallery
*1 complimentary 5x7 print
*Print requirement has been waived for this special

Is a CD included?
No. Your session fee pays only for the time and talent of your photographer, your ordering gallery, and your complimentary print. A disc of your images is available for purchase.

Am I required to order prints?
No. The print requirement for this special has been waived so there is no required purchase of prints. If no prints are ordered, the only photo you will receive will be the complimentary 5x7. The ordering gallery is live for 30 days and any photos not ordered will be removed to make room for new clients. 

Prints vs. Digital Files
High-resolution digital files are available for purchase in addition to prints and products such as photo books or mini wallet albums. Digital files are perfect if you plan to make cards and would like your family’s photo on them. Once ordering $200 worth of prints and/or products, you will receive a complimentary downloadable watermarked gallery of your full session- perfect for sharing with family and friends! This is not mandatory, simply a thank you :)

DFinney Photography is also participating in Shoot Pink Extravaganza! It’s a special month-long event hosted by Faithful Grace PhotographyIf you are currently fighting or are a survivor or breast cancer, please get in touch with me! As a participating business, we are donating our time and talent to those affected by breast cancer :) There are a limited number of slots available for this as well due to other obligations this month, but I will try to take care of as many of you as possible!

I look forward to working with you this month!

Stacy | Washington, DC Creative Lifestyle Photographer

Last month I had the privilege of working with Stacy- she has a beautiful personality matched equally by her beautiful smile :) She wanted a fun photo shoot to celebrate turning 43 and her session was a blast! We had fun incorporating different things that are important to her (she’s a die hard Ravens fan! lol), her loving husband, and we were also able to include a special tribute to her mom who recently passed. 

Prior to the session, Stacy mentioned that she was very critical of herself in photos but I assured her everything would be fine :) And in the end, she LOVED her photos!

I love doing sessions like these because this is what it’s all about for me- helping my clients look and feel good :)
























Tequila Sunrise Pt 2 | Washington, DC Fashion & Editorial Photographer

So this took me a bit longer than expected lol… When I tell you last month was busy, it was BUSY! Now that I have a few spare moments (literally) I finally got the chance to finish up the editing on this awesome shoot! This was a fun project my favorite stylist Bianca and I worked together on and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Here is Part 1 if you missed it :)

Huge thanks to the talented team involved (esp for getting up at 2 in the morning)!

Here is Part 2… Enjoy :)

Jasmine | Washington, DC Creative Lifestyle Photographer

Now that my month has slowed down a tad, I can catch up on all my awesome sessions from last month (before it gets busy again) lol! First up is Jasmine :)

I’ve been working with Jasmine for the past 2 years and each time we shoot, the outcome is always fantastic!

This time around we got together because one of my wonderful hair stylists, Anastasia wanted to try something a little different (purple ombre) so I was all for it! Here are the photos from our session last month :)

Enjoy!
















Koils by Nature Presents the 2nd Annual Natural is Not a Fad | Alexandria, VA

This past Sunday I had the privilege of participating in a wonderful event! The 2nd Annual Natural is Not a Fad presented by Koils by Nature! I had a great time on meeting lots of beautiful folks and seeing some familiar faces again! A huge thank you goes out to the wonderful people who came up and said hello who follow me on facebook, instagram, twitter, etc it was a pleasure to meet you in person! 

Just a quick PSA before I get into the photos- I still don’t offer event photography services. Which is why you won’t see very many photos of the program, mainly portraits :) I was a sponsor for this event and in exchange I took photos of the attendees for a possible feature on Essence Online :) 

First up, we have the beauty and brains behind this fabulous event- the Founder and CEO of Koils by Nature, Ms. Pamela Jenkins. 

Next, my table! I was so excited once I learned that I would be participating in this event so I made sure everything was as fabulous as can be :)

Me at my table!


Huge thanks to Genae, my mom, and Debbie for putting these little info packets together! FYI to everyone who got one- be sure to take advantage of the exclusive offer on the back of your card :)
