Sooo… this mini photo session happened way back in October. YIKES! I’ve shared a few photos here and there (and you’ve probably seen a couple floating around on the internet!) but never the full batch. My bad y’all. Well, what better time to do so than during my August #31WriteNow blogging challenge!
DMV-based photographer (yes, I went all the way to DC!) Danielle ‘Danni’ Finney is the talent behind the camera. With her amazing ability to use natural light to achieve gorgeous, colorful images, her work has definitely become instantly recognizable. Between Danni’s eye for prime locations and the work of her MUA Stephanie of Runway Ready Makeup Artistry, these shots came out way better than I ever would have expected! Although well into Fall, the weather beautifully cooperated with our plans. It was a gorgeous day.
My entire outfit was purchased at H&M with the exception of the shoes which are by ShoeDazzle. Click here for a tutorial on this hairstyle.
HUGE thanks to Danni and Stephanie for making me feel so beautiful that day. I had a great time. Danni is a sweetheart who’s about her stuff and takes pride in her craft! Professional from beginning to end. Stephanie listened to my request for a soft, natural look and she certainly delivered. I still looked like ME! Haha. Even the hubster (who isn’t the biggest fan of makeup!) approved! LOL! Both of these gals were a joy to work with!
That’s a wrap!! Me, Steph & Danni
Wanna learn more about the woman behind the camera? Check out my interview with Danni here and be sure to view her work at dfinneyphoto.com. If you’re in the DC Metro area and wanna treat yourself or your family to some beautiful portraits, Danni’s your girl!
Until next time!
