I met Danni last year via Facebook through mutual curlfriends and was drawn to her beautiful smile, TWA and awesome style. Once I learned she was a photographer and viewed her amazing work, it was a wrap! I stalked followed DFinneyPhotography on Facebook and Tumblr just about every day to see what was new.

Hello my people and welcome to Inspiration… Execution! I’m looking to make this a regular style feature here on ToBNatural, we’ll see how it goes.
