Denise & Sirena, Sister-Togs
Nothing says “Community over Competition” more among photograpHERs than two working together and even hiring one another to take each other’s photos. Two of our very own QueenPs embody just that. Denise Benson of Denise Benson Photography out of Rock Hill, SC and Sirena White of Aneris Photography from Charleston, SC are two sister-togs, beautiful both inside and out (and are very talented photographers among many other skills they boast).
The two, who are also both Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., met via social media at the end of 2014.
How They Met
“I had been a fan of her (Sirena’s) work for a while and decided to reach out to her and let her know that I would be sending some business her way since I often received wedding inquiries and at that time did not shoot weddings,” says Denise. “We officially met in person in January 2015. We met for coffee + dessert at one of my favorite cafes, Amelie’s, in Rock Hill, SC and then I accompanied her on an engagement session in Charlotte.”
Sirena, on the other hand, can appreciate Denise’s attention to detail. “Denise is definitely a planner. I call her the “Martha Stewart of Photography” She’s so creative, precise, and has taught me to just slow down enjoy my clients.”
