I’ll never forget, one time I was walking through my local Walmart when my phone buzzed, an Instagram message – how exciting!! I got a message from @denisetanigawa reaching out interested in collabing… Since then we’ve collabed many many times. She did HAMU for my styled senior shoot, she has make my own hair look gorgeous, and even more to come! I love love love photographing Denise because not only is she stunning, but she is really good at knowing her angles and the camera loves her! I can’t take a bad photo of her (which means editing 500 photos).
I really loved the latest shoot of Denise, she is so creative with her outfits and she brought flowers, a cupcake, a balloon, and even her Seahawk gear! Seriously so cute! I can’t get enough of this girl.
We started this shoot down the street in her neighbors yard- yup, we totally just walked up and rang the doorbell and asked if we can take photos for Instagram in her front yard… luckily she said yes, but it was definitely a bit awkward… making good memories though haha!
Next, Denise had an adorable bike she wanted and it was on the side of her house, we walked over to get it and she asked where we should go for the photos, I looked around and said, actually right here is gorgeous lighting! With her neighbors house in the background, we got some super adorable photos of her and her bike! YES!
Lastly, we ended up at the park down the street. Big trees, golden light, beautiful model… dare I say perfection? Totally worth all the fire ant bites on my feet, but I’m pretty happy with these photos… I love Denise’s smile, and he style just ties the whole photo together! Take a look at all these cute photos:
She is seriously the sweetest too! Can’t wait for our next collab!
XOXO,
