He said he had a client who wanted to take pictures. So, nonchalantly I say “ok”.  I  had no idea what we were about to do was going to blow my mind.

Tiana Ann Dersen was crowned Queen of Hawaii 2008. She needed us to help her shoot the cover for the pageant program.  Of course I’m trying to act cool but really I’m doing the Steve Urkel dance inside (if you need a refresher on that go here.) Tiana was getting dolled up by Marky and my husband and I were setting up the lights and getting the studio ready. I’m seeing everything transform and I’m feeling giddy but trying to keep it together.

I just got the program from the pageant that was held this past Saturday and I can’t help but be proud. She looks great on the cover and her two page spread is just flawless! It helps that Tiana is a graphic designer and has her own company called Glass Slipper Productions. Very fitting name for her company dont’cha think?  She also used a few photos for the table numbers.  It looked AH-MA-ZING!

Congratulations Tiana for a fabulous job as the Queen of Hawaii 2008! You did so much during your reign and I know you’ll continue giving back.  Your cover ROCKED and I’m not biased at all! Ok, just a little but I’m just sayin’

If you need flawless makeup and as my friend Marky would say “to make everyone gag” then email him at ikaika_nyc@yahoo.com.

Fabulous! http://tarynreidblog.com/fashion-friends-fabulous/ http://tarynreidblog.com/fashion-friends-fabulous/#comments Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:53:22 +0000 Ashley http://tarynreidblog.com/?p=419 This post is the result of a few photographer friends hanging out at Starbucks. We all used our resources and in a few days we were on location getting ready to shoot Miss Sarah.  We all had a great time.  Lots of laughs and a lot of bumping each other in true paparazzi fashion. This is one reason to make friends with other photographers.  You get to learn and get better.  We rocked it!  Check it out.

A huge thank you to Amos Kotomori for actually showing up and helping us.  Then Wowing us with Sarah’s hair/MU.  Then beyond that showing us how we should be communicating with our models.  Because of you Sarah mysteriously gets a meeting with the previously booked Premier Model Agency and signs with them.  Sarah is now going to be everywhere.  We just know she’ll do well.  Hey, I hope she gets her big break.  I’m all about name dropping to help my career..HOLLA! :)

Mahalo to my friends and fellow photographers, Alisa, Athena, & Pinky!  Fantastic 4!  Do people hire a 4pk of photographers?  Well they should.  We work well togehter.  We have to meet up at Chili’s so we can conjure up our next shoot.  Can’t wait ladies!!!
