She Grooves Photography

Lisa Coleman is the talented creator of She Grooves Photography. I am always mesmerized by her talent of capturing moments. Lisa is my good friend, whom I used to work with in cosmetics. Two months ago, she asked me to be in an artsy photo shoot. The theme was "Universal Lush." I did my hair and make-up, and wore a dress from India, bangles from China, and earrings from Thailand. We did this shoot for fun, and so that I can be in her portfolio.

At first I was feeling really awkward, I didn't feel in place since it was the first time I was playing "model", and was the opposite of the typical model, I am a woman of curves and not that photogenic. Lisa observed this, so she started talking to me to ease me with her comforting personality. After a while I slowly opened up, and got creative with various poses. The final shots were so beautiful! I love her unique style of photography. Thank you so much Lisa Coleman!

Right now for a limited time only She Grooves Photography is having a Deanna Friend Special. If you are on the island of Oahu, and book an appointment with Lisa Coleman and tell her Deanna referred you, then you will get the deal of $100 for a 2 hr photo shoot! You get to choose ten of your favorite shots! To view her portfolio and to book an appointment with Lisa, please check her out on Facebook: She Grooves. I promise you won't regret it and will be satisfied with the final results!

Lisa rented a booth at last months Art and Flea, to sell and showcase her photography. Here is a photo of her and Scott (He is an amazing photographer as well. He is holding up a picture from my photo shoot lol. They both shoot for 808 Ink Magazine!)


At the Universal Lush shoot, Lisa told me to dance down the bridge aisle as if I were in a soul train lol.


Last month Lisa did a mermaid photo shoot with my friend Kat. I did Kat's hair and make-up. Her photographs turned out beautiful! 



Last month Lisa was also my personal photographer when I went to get my Phoenix and Peonies tattoo at Black Cat. This is my gorgeous tattoo artist Marie.



 Recently, Lisa's nephew came to visit from Washington. She took this black and white, candid photograph of him. This one is my favorite! I love how you can see his tattoo that says "Carpe Diem." And how his hat has Hawaii on it. From the outlines of his muscles and spine, I see how strong he is. I feel like the message of the photo is saying "Live life to the fullest with strength on the island."
