Nikki Kellogg

Nikki_028bwAbout a month ago, I was approached to put together an aspiring dancer's portfolio: Nikki Kellogg, 22, is planning to move to L.A. to audition and make a go at becoming a top dancer - she's aiming for Beyonce status so girlfriend needed some top notch photos to show around town.  This was an entirely new project for me, and we spent quite a bit of time planning our shoots and what kind of photos she wanted to showcase her looks and talent.  We did a combination of "studio-esque" shots with dancing in the street and more traditional head shots.  Nikki was really wonderful to work with, which made my job a whole lot easier.  Here are just a few of the photos that we made prints of for her final portfolio.

Cindy Chen

_MG_3467oldHere's a break from the wedding photos...  I did a quick photo of my friend Cindy Chen, who is a real estate agent in Modesto (if anyone is thinking about buying a house in Modesto/Central Valley area, contact Cindy and she'll make it happen).  We shot at golden hour (right before the sun goes down) at Grace Davis Park in Modesto.
