End of the Year Thoughts | Truthy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday guys!

We’re just one day away from the end of 2014 and the start of a new year! The end of 2014 is sort of an anti-climatic one for me because I will still be doing the same things on Thursday as I did on Wednesday. I know most folks probably will be too, but the start of a new year is often the time when new goals are set and new plans are set in place. But mine? They’re the same. I just want to continue to do better. 

Doing better means a lot of things for me and because it’s such a massive goal, it will be a while until I’m at a point where I’m truly happy with things. Though I am working at being more appreciative of the progress made along the way :) 

Speaking of which, I want to take a moment and share just how appreciative I am of how amazing this year has been.

It hit me last week as I was taking care of some administrative tasks that this year has been the best year for DFinney Photography… ever! I know I say that every year, but every year manages to surpass the last, and that’s a trend I’m hoping continues. This was year 5 and the fact that my fledgling business has maintained substantial growth every year since it’s beginning is such an amazing thing to me! I cannot express how deeply thankful I am to each and every one of you for your support! Either by investing with me for your photos and/or photography education, referring me to a friend, keeping up with me on social media, or just being a quiet observer! I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

I have met and worked with some wonderful people this year as a result of my photography and I look forward to doing even more of this in the months and years to come! I don’t want to get too mushy or long-winded (those that know me know I have a tendency to do both lol), so I will end it here.

Thank you simply cannot be said enough, but I will try. So I will thank you at every opportunity I have :)

Thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful end to 2014!

Marissa | Washington, DC Headshot Photographer

Last, but certainly not least, today we have Marissa- Relationship & Sex Therapist at XoXo Therapy!

Marissa and I had a dynamic headshot session last month and the resulting photos are SO her! These photos are the result of clear ideas and collaboration- the exact things I suggest to all of my clients to make sure that the resulting photos are the best reflection of you :)

Not to say that our day went off without a hitch because it totally didn’t lol. First, I thought I forgot my memory card which caused a slight delay. Then, our planned second location was gone… GONE! Lol this is the kind of thing I forget about sometimes in DC with constant construction and often changing murals. The building we planned to use was demolished :/ So we went to our second option… aaaaand they were closed -_- It seemed like we just couldn’t catch a break, but we took our L’s in stride and were confident we would work it out regardless. We headed to our last location and it was theee perfect ending to her session! We were able to capture all of the looks she had in mind and despite our mishaps, everything turned out just the way it was supposed to :)

Now she has a great final set of images to market herself with and great memories to remember the day by!

If you’re interested in a headshot session and would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself, email me and schedule yours today! Currently booking: February 2015.

Nicole & Premier | Washington, DC Engagement Photographer

Next up today is fun-filled mini with Nicole & Premier!

I’ve been knowing Nicole for hmm… Honestly I don’t even know how long, but it’s been a while lol. So when she reached out for a mini engagement session I was super happy! It’s always a privilege when friends you’ve known for a while trust YOU with capturing moments and memories that are important to them.

It was definitely a cold session, but these two lovebirds kept each other warm and I’m sure all of the laughing helped too :)

Shannon | Washington, DC Headshot Photographer

Happy Monday loves!

We’re quickly approaching the end of the year and I (still lol) have lots left to share with you! Since I missed a few days this month, I’m going to a few posts today to try and catch up ;)

First up today is a gorgeous headshot session with Shannon! 

The day of our session, as it would happen, the weather was not at all ideal. It was cool and drizzly pretty much the entire time, but you wouldn’t know that AT ALL by looking at these pictures! Shannon was a trooper and I thanked her profusely for having confidence that her pictures would turn out beautifully despite the weather :)

I was so happy to work with her and provide her with great new photos for use with her business!

Walker Family | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Happy Family Friday!

Got another beautiful family to share with you guys today :)

This session with Adrian and her son DJ was a true pleasure because Adrian was one of my very early clients a few years ago! It’s always great to work with repeat clients, and especially ones who were with me early on.

We got together on a cold autumn afternoon but you would never know it because they were troopers! I had such a good time photographing them and capturing their fun personalities :)
