I initially seen Denise's work on a friends Facebook profile and instantly knew I wanted her to do our newborn's photos. Upon meeting with Denise she was warm, friendly, prompt and professional. The photos were received in a very timely manner and most importantly they were beautiful! Within the year I would find myself planning a wedding - thus needing engagement and wedding photos. Marrying a hobby photographer and enthusiast - - I knew this was going to be one of the most important aspects of the whole event. I could not stress enough the relief I felt knowing Denise would be our photographer. I knew she would have "the eye", the enthusiasm and trusted her every step of the way. Wow, what she gave me was even more stunning then I could have ever hoped for!!! The day does go quickly as it is commonly said - - but she has given me moments we didn't catch, moments that she has frozen in time for us in a way that will always be cherished. (with additional thanks to the second shooter she provided, Dallas Galbreath, wowsa, these ladies together made magic) There is no overestimating the importance of good photography for your wedding. But, now I also have a lifetime photographer to turn to for all my important moments. A VERY GRATEFUL AND HAPPY BRIDE, Grace Ramos To see shots of the wedding taken by Denise, please see her Blog link below: http://www.denisenicoleblog.com/2012/09/jason-grace-van-dickson-ranch-arizona-wedding/ read more

If you choose Denise you will be amazed by every single photo she takes. She has such a talent that I haven't seen in anyone else. Every shoot she has done for me has been incredible. She took the time to learn what it is that I was wanting and she came back with the images that I asked for and so many more that blew my mind! I promise, you won't be disappointed! read more

See all

I first found out about Denise through a friend who had a boudoir shoot with her. The pictures were so amazing I signed right up. 6 years later she has photographed me and my family multiple times. Just recently I did my third boudoir shoot with her and I already want to do another one. She makes you feel so comfortable! We laughed, listened to music and had some bubbly. We all get a little down on ourselves from time to time, it happens...but this experience always reminds me how other people see me, it's so empowering. I urge you to do this for yourself to boost your self confidence, I promise it'll sky rocket after a day with Denise. I can't say enough good things about her, you'll just have to see for yourself. read more

Denise photographed our wedding in Monterey, CA. She has also photographed me in a boudoir photo session. She is an excellent photographer, with an eye for color, placement and artistic vision. My biggest problem I have had is trying to choose which photos I want for my albums because I want them ALL! Best part is, Denise is NICE. Friendly, easy to talk to and really makes you feel comfortable...fully clothed to almost nude. She has a diverse range of photography opportunities and I can't wait to sign up for the next session! read more

Denise is AMAZING!!! She made the experience extremely enjoyable and made me feel relaxed and as comfortable as possible. The pictures turned out so so good...natural and beautiful and I looked like me and not an over photoshopped version of myself. Can't wait to order my new business cards with my new headshot!!!! read more

Words cannot express how amazing and truly talented Denise is. Her pictures are works of art. Denise is so outgoing and inspirational, she makes getting your picture taken easy. Neither my husband nor I like to have our picture taken but she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera that you forget she is taking your picture. She has a gift of being able to capture each and every special moment and her work is exceptional. I highly recommend her for any type of photo shoot: wedding, engagement, anniversary, etc. and I hope to have her photograph us again someday soon. -liz & David read more

Denise is absolutely amazing!!! I never would have thought I would feel comfortable taking these kinds of pictures but she put me at ease and we had so much fun doing it!!! It was a great experience and I would recommend to any woman who wants to feel beautiful!! She guides you all along the way and knows just what to do to get all your best angles!! Love her so much!!! read more

Denise has photographed our family 3 times over the past 3 years....including shooting the birth of my 3rd child in the middle of the night. The girl is UH-MAZING! She has seen parts of me that only my husband has seen! HA! But thats the best part about her...she doesn't make you feel uncomfortable while she's photographing you. She has watched our family grow and has become more than just a photographer to us. She is our friend and someone I really enjoy hanging out with. Family photos are SUPER important to me...and Denise has brought me to tears with every session she's photographed of us. I adore her and I'm sure you will too! read more

I used Denise for a boudoir shoot, she was recommended by our wedding photographers and I could not have been more happy with the recommendation. She was absolutely wonderful! Doing a boudoir shoot is not something that I was super thrilled about doing but knew that my husband would love it and was giving it to him as a wedding gift. Denise made everything SO easy and fun! I had the BEST time during the shoot and would recommended it to EVERYONE! She is such a nice, caring, fun person that you do not feel uncomfortable at all. I felt like I was with a friend not just a photographer. I was worried that I would have a hard time picking out pictures to use for the book because I wouldn't like any but it turned out I had to upgrade to a bigger book because they all turned out so good! I just wish I could do it all over again!! So grateful that I found Denise! read more

The experience Denise delivered during my boudoir/fine art session was above and beyond any expectations I had. She designed my outfit choices, which in itself took a ton of stress off me and was always available to answer questions promptly through my numerous emails. I could see how the actual session could be uncomfortable if you aren't with a photographer in their element. She created a relaxed environment by getting to know me before we even began. I would compare it to meeting up an old friend for coffee and having girl time, which as a mom gets further and further in between so that in itself is treasured time. During the session, she acted out different scenarios to draw out emotions from within me to mimic. I am in love with the final product & when I look at the images I remember the experience she delivered. Ladies you need to hire Denise for no one else but you! It will be the best gift you can give yourself! read more

If you are looking for a fabulous photographer look no further! I found Denise while searching for a wedding photographer. Over the last year, Denise has captured our engagement photo shoot, my bridal shower, a boudoir photo shoot as a surprise for my husband, and our wedding. We just received our wedding photos and could not be more impressed. She truly captured each special moment and emotion from the night. From the first interaction with Denise to looking through our photo album, I have been nothing but impressed and grateful. Someone once told me to choose vendors that you are a fan of their work and their personality. Not only is Denise an INCREDIBLY talented photographer, but she is also an incredible person. We could not be happier with ALL of our photos! Thank you Denise! read more
