I believe each morning should be started with a hot cup of tea and ended with a deliciously overflowing bowl of ice cream; Cookies & Cream to be exact! 

I believe warm hugs and laughter make every day worth living.

I believe family is the MOST important gift that life can give us.

I believe in creating memorable memories with my family and your families that will be cherished and celebrated for a lifetime.

I believe everything that glitters is GOLD!

I believe each day should be LIVED and not lived.

I believe in pouring my whole heart and soul into everything I do! 

I believe quality can never ever be compromised for quantity.

I believe that building authentic relationships and connecting with my clients is icing on the cake and we ALL love cake!, Don't we?

I BELIEVE IN PASSIONATELY CAPTURING COUPLES IN LOVE AND EVERY DAY LIFE MILESTONES WORTH CELEBRATING!
                                         
I WOULD BE HONORED TO CAPTURE YOURS THROUGH PHOTOGRAPH.


 I believe everyone has a story to tell.

I'm Chaquana Denise, I'm often referred to as CJ or Denise, it's just so much easier to pronounce! PHOTOGRAPHER, FRIEND and the heart behind the camera here at C. Denise Imagery dedicating my heart to wedding and portrait photography. A nurturing Target lovin' mother of three to Ashiya, Kaiden and little miss Kennedy Grace, dog momma to Sabrina and Blu, a wife to the absolute love of my life and headache Sam- as he likes to be called, a daily ridiculously obsessed human over Chick-Fil-A, organic mint tea and all things sweet! 
  

My passion for photography started many years ago when my mom gave me my first poloroid at eight. My grandmother and auntie gave me the gift to travel. We always traveled during the summer months prior to my grandmother Dorothy being called home. Her legacy gave me the gift to love, to cherish and to celebrate each day and moment as if it's your last! I was only ten but remember it just like it was yesterday. At such a young age I documented my grandmothers homegoing service and have all of the photographs that I cherish deeply.I officially made things official in 2013 and took a leap of faith and quit my full-time job to be able to live my best life on purpose with joy in my heart through all of the beautiful love and life stories I get to document on a daily basis!
