Fall Minis + Mentoring | News & Updates

Good Wednesday afternoon to you ♥

Stopping in with a few updates as I've been slacking in the news & updates department...

FALL MINIS

---

First up? Tomorrow will be the official start of Fall and with that comes all sorts of warm and fuzzy thoughts... Pumpkin everything, apple everything, cozy sweaters, family time, aaaand of course FALL MINIS! :) 

2016 Fall Minis will be held on November 5th and 6th!

Booking for Fall Minis will begin on October 3 (for those on the mailing list) and October 5 for everyone else. If you're interested in snagging a session, I would highly suggest signing up for the mailing list because for the past couple years, all spots have sold out before booking opens to the general public! Sometimes there may be 1 or 2 left, but I wouldn't chance it.

You can view more information on the mini special here (details are for summer), but the package info will be the same. Fall info will be added once booking opens up :)

FALL GROUP MENTORING

---

My work travel is still on hiatus/very limited, but I am still holding group mentoring sessions here in DC :)

The next scheduled classes will be held on Nov 11 (101) and Nov 12 (102).

If you'd like to attend, please shoot me an email and I'll get you all set up! You can view more information on the sessions here. And view recaps of past sessions right here on the blog!

If you're interested in a one-on-one session, you're free to schedule those at any time! Just email me and we can get you on the calendar :)

That's it for today! I hope the remainder of your week treats you well ♥

Walters Family | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Happy Family Friday to you!

I hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having this week! I am a little sad to see summer go because I love having longer days, but I am looking forward to the cooler weather and colorful trees that are soon to come :)

Today I have a special family session to share with you! 

My friend Nicole reached out for family photos a couple months ago and I was so excited to work with her again! Last year Denyelle and I worked with her for new headshots-

and we had such a great time together! So I knew their family session was going to be fun!

Nicole and Josh (aka The Hubbin) have 3 beautiful girls, affectionately known as "The Tinies"- BigTiny, MidTiny, and The Puffin :) At the time of their family session, they had been their foster daughters for the past 2 years, but just a few short weeks later, the adoption was finalized and The Tinies are now officially theirs!

After viewing the photos, Nicole said she was in tears  because this was her first time actually seeing herself as a mom ❤

That meant soo much to me! I was excited to hear the news, and truly thankful to Nicole for trusting me with documenting such an important moment in their lives! It just made an already great session, even sweeter :)

So I'd like to introduce you to the Walters Family!

If you’re interested in a session with your family and would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself, email me and schedule yours today! Currently booking: October and November 2016.

John & Chandra | Washington, DC Engagement Photographer

Happy Thursday and welcome to a brand new month!

I can hardly believe it's September you guys! It's been a busy summer season, and I'm looking forward to celebrating the 7 year anniversary of DFinney Photography later this month :)

Today though? I want to share a beautiful engagement session with you!

Back in May, I met John & Chandra for their engagement photos and (after a couple cold and rainy weather-related reschedules) we finally ended up with one of the first beautiful days of the season for their session! That day just happened to be right after their return flight from Asia! But make it work we did :)   

John & Chandra were the sweetest to work with and documenting their love was so easy :) Take a look at their gorgeous DC engagement session ♥ 

If you’re interested in an engagement session (or a just because session with your boo :) and would like to have the DFinney Experience yourself, email me and schedule yours today! Currently booking: October and November 2016.

Stacy | One-on-One Session 102 [January 31] | Orlando, FL Photography Instructor

Next up for today? Stacy!

I met Stacy just a couple days prior when she participated in the Group Session 101. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working with Stacy to help clarify some of her goals, adjust her pricing, revise her workflow, and simplify things! We covered SO MANY things that our session didn't end until the sun was setting lol!

One of the things we keyed in on were pricing and package adjustments. I know she was nervous about implementation but receiving this email from her just a short time after our session made my week!

It makes me soo happy when my mentees are not only able to see the improvement in their work, but also in the success of their businesses! It is a major confidence booster and enables them to keep moving in the right direction!

Back to our day together though :) Of course, headshots were included! Stacy is so bubbly and such a joy to be around, so capturing her was an absolute pleasure! Here are my faves from her headshot session:

What did she think of the session? Hear from Stacy directly on her DFinney Mentoring experience:

"There are countless ways to learn: webinars, podcasts, teleconferences, video tutorials, blogs, major conferences... sometimes it can be OVERWHELMING!! And despite all the information, it may not get to the heart of YOUR specific needs. What I walked away with from both of DFinney's mentoring sessions was AMAZING! Her teaching style cuts through all the noise, fluff and distractions. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to make the investment in myself!"

Fran | One-on-One Session 102 [January 30] | Orlando, FL Photography Instructor

Happy Mentor Monday!

I'm finally (somewhat) on a roll with catching up on my recaps, so let's keep the ball rolling, shall we? 

Last week, I shared the first mentoring session of the year in Orlando and today I will share the one-on-one 102 sessions I had on the following two days!

First up? Fran!

I met Fran back in 2014 when she attended my first group session in Miami! This time she reached out for the business session and I was excited to work with her again :) We went over and revised her pricing, as well as her website and workflow amongst many other things!

Also included? Headshots! It was such a beautiful day- perfect for pictures :) Here are my faves from her headshot session!
