Lilia & Alex | Washington, DC Engaement Photographer

May 14, 2013

As promised last week on Tanashia’s mentor session recap- Alex & Lily’s full session!

These two were the perfect models for us! And we had just as much fun photographing them as they did being photographed :) I love when couples can just be themselves and relax completely- and Lily & Alex did just that.

Tonight’s mood. Glamorously depicted by @loccrush and featuring her awesome custom made bonnets 💛 I have one and I loveee that I have a bonnet big enough to comfortably fit my locs in! Now, off to sleep! 😴 #dfinneyphoto #dcbrandphotographer #donttakeboringbusinessphotos #colorharmonywithdfinney #dcphotographer #dmvphotographer #blackwomenentrepreneurs #blackownedbusiness
So after posting yesterday about how great it was to get a good night’s rest, last night my body (well more than likely my anxiety) decided to play a cruel trick on me... I could not sleep AT ALL 😩
⠀⠀⠀
Despite today’s sleep deprivation, I am feeling pretty excited about my shoots this season. The beginning of the year is typically filled with lots of brand sessions and I’m really looking forward to working with so many amazing women and providing them with warm and inviting imagery for their businesses ✨
⠀⠀⠀
Have you had the DFinney Experience? I haven’t used that phrase in a while, but I should start using it more because it really is an experience!  From the pre-session planning to the final image delivery, it’s my goal to provide each of my clients with a quality experience each step of the way, and I appreciate every single piece of feedback received. It really makes me happy to hear that what was an experience that you may not have been looking forward to (being photographed) ended up being way more fun and enjoyable than you imagined 😌
I got so much more sleep last night than I normally do, and man. What a difference sleep makes! It’s one of those things you KNOW, but when you FEEL how much of a difference it makes?? I feel like I can take on the world!
⠀⠀⠀
I gotta make a more concerted effort at getting more sleep because you can handle EVERYTHING so much better when you’re well rested.
⠀⠀⠀
What about you- is getting more rest one of your wellness goals? What have you found that’s been helping? I don’t really have any suggestions unfortunately because I haven’t stuck to anything long enough to say with certainty “yes this makes a difference”... I’ll keep trying to get a nighttime routine going so I can hopefully make adequate sleep a regular feature 😴😬
I felt like you needed just a few more shots from this fly session with @filleambitieuse and her bae at the @nationalportraitgallery 🖤 now I think I’m done lol #dfinneyphoto #dcphotographer
Because @asherald’s portrait of @michelleobama really is that stunning. @filleambitieuse stood here for a few minutes in awe, and it was cool to witness the moment 🖤 #dfinneyphoto #dcphotographer
Now that the shutdown as ended, the museums and galleries are officially back open! 🙌🏽🙏🏽 I’m so thankful that we have free access to such beautiful spaces in DC... honestly I’m a bit spoiled by it because I expect museums and galleries everywhere to be free and that is just not the case 😂 So I’ll just be grateful and content that we have nice indoor locations to use on cold or rainy days. | photos of @filleambitieuse w/ her bae + makeup by @denyelledbeauty #colorharmonywithdfinney #dfinneyphoto #dcphotographer
Ya’ll were not playing with this headshot special! All spots are now booked. To those that booked: THANK YOU! @denyelledbeauty and I can’t wait to work with you next month 💛 To those that didn’t (and are interested in updating their headshots/brand photos this year), I still have something for you! Download the free brand guide (link in bio) so that when you DO schedule your session with the photographer of your choice, you can make the most of it. I don’t want you wasting time OR money 🙅🏽‍♀️ #donttakeboringbusinessphotos #colorharmonywithdfinney #dfinneyphoto
I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for following, supporting, encouraging, and lifting me up. For allowing me the space to be transparent, to #talkaboutuncomfortablethings, and still share pretty pictures lol. The two don’t always coincide, but somehow despite the ugliness I manage inside, I’m still able to create and for that I’m incredibly thankful.

Thanks for hanging in there with my sporadic postings and super late replies lol. I do not take your support for granted and I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. #livingwithmentalillness #mentalhealthmatters #bipolar2 #depression #anxiety #therapyforblackgirls #melaninandmentalhealth #blackmentalhealthmatters
While you’re wrapping up your Sunday night and planning for the week, I just dropped something on the blog that you mayyy want to take a look at if you’re looking to update your headshots this year :)
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spoiler alert: it’s a headshot special. First available to the mailing list, now open to the general public- and there are only 2 spots left 😱 #linkinbio #donttakeboringbusinessphotos #colorharmonywithdfinney #dfinneyphoto #denyelledbeauty #dcphotographer #dcheadshotphotographer #dcbrandphotographer
