Ellegood Family | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Next up on the blog this morning is the adorable Ellegood Family! Also familiar faces from the Summer Mini Recap :) 

I first worked with Sharonda & Sherman a couple years ago when I shot their engagement photos:

Fast-forward a couple years and I was so happy to work with them again, this time for their family photos! Just a few weeks after celebrating their first wedding anniversary :)

Aren’t they just the cutest little family?

Didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the Summer Minis? Not to worry! Fall Minis are here! Just a few spots remain so if you’re interested in your own session, email me and schedule yours today!

Happy Friday!

Please accept my apologies as I’ve been MAJORLY behind on blogging these past few weeks :( I will remedy that today though with quite a few posts as I try to play catch-up!

First up we have the adorable Hancock Family! You may remember seeing them on the Summer Mini Recap :)

Andrea wanted headshots for her Professional Organizing business (BDexterous) with a couple family photos thrown in, so we made it happen! I was pleasantly surprised with the third member of her family- Duncan! I am nowhere near a dog person but thought he was just the cutest thing :)

Here are a few faves from Andrea’s session!

Mint + Purple Styled Shoot | Washington, DC Wedding Photographer

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Last Wednesday, this shoot was featured on Munalichi Bridal Magazine, but I wanted to share it on my blog as well :) 

Fair warning: there are lots of photos so this is a LONG POST.

This is a wedding inspiration shoot inspired by my love of color! Specifically mint as it’s very on-trend for this Spring and Summer. I decided to pair it with purple as that is not a combination you see together too often. I wanted to show how a bride can incorporate the wedding colors outside of simply depending on the bridesmaid dresses and event decor to do this. For this shoot, I photographed a real couple who just celebrated their third wedding anniversary and they were absolutely radiant! Despite the threat of rain, they perfectly displayed just what a wedding day should be about- enjoying moments with the one you love!

Here are the talented folks behind this beautiful shoot:

• Floral Design: Wilson Florist of Rosslyn
• Sweets: Cakes by Genae (my sister-in-law)
• Jewelry: Charming Charlie
• Hair: Fashion 4Ward Salon
• Makeup: Makeup Art by Denyelle
• Dress: Blue by Enzoani Casablanca via Ellie’s Bridal Boutique
• Suit: Tailor 4 Less
• Bride’s Shoes: Guess
• Groom’s Shoes: Cole Haan

SIt back, relax and enjoy the pretty :)

Truthy Tuesday | Another Year Down

In recent years, the beginning of September each year has become a time of reflection for me… Aside from the fact that I turn a year older today, the beginning of September also marks the anniversary of the start of DFinney Photography- we’re heading into YEAR 5!

The past 4 years have been full of blood, sweat, and tears… sometimes of joy, others of sadness, and every other emotion in between (hey, I’m an artist and we’re sensitive lol). 

I can’t begin to adequately express just HOW thankful I am to not only my family, clients, and friends, but also the countless others who have seen my work over the years, that I may have never even met/worked with, but who refer me to others. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I wouldn’t be able to make a living doing what I love if not for you guys.

Reading the comments that have been left so far on the 5-Year Giveaway post (still going on by the way- so go enter!) has me all sentimental today. It’s so incredibly humbling to know that my work has affected the lives of so many. And all just by sharing my love of photography with you!

I really could go on but I don’t want to get too mushy (which I am very capable of doing lol). We will be back to our regularly scheduled informative Truthy Tuesdays two weeks from now, I just wanted to use this opportunity to say Thank you :)

Summer DC Mini Session Special | Recap

Happy Tuesday! This week there is a lot of good stuff heading your way on the blog so make sure you stay close!

To get things started, I need to share the Summer Mini Recap! I just realized I never shared these and I’m getting ready to roll out the Fall Minis tomorrow :/ Better late than never :)

Late July, I got together with these beautiful folks and here are a few sneak peeks from their sessions. I will share full posts from each in the coming weeks.

All of the lovely makeup you’ll see on this post was done by Denyelle.

First up, is Lynda! I was in love with her photos from the moment we started taking pictures! She wanted fresh headshots that really showed her personality and I think we delivered. She is absolutely glowing!

Next up, we have the Ellegood Family! I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement photos a couple years ago and a few weeks before this session, they celebrated their one year anniversary! They are such a cute family and I look forward to capturing more memories in the years to come :)

Then we have the adorable Hancock Family! How cute are they? I love Duncan! He definitely kept us company and protected us from any other dogs we happened to come across during the course of our shoot ;)

And after an hour-long thunderstorm, complete with heavy rains and all, we finally got to photograph Erica, who traveled all the way from Philly for her session!

All in all, I’d say it was a very good day :)

If you weren’t able to take advantage of these Summer Minis, don’t fret because now you have the opportunity to book a Fall Mini before they run out!

Details are coming up right… NOW!
