When Adm and I first got together, we used to go on photo walks where we'd just meander through a neighborhood, taking in our surroundings, looking for the good light, and photographing whatever we wanted. This engagement session felt kind of like one of those walks as we just wandered through the Financial District and parts of Potrero Hill early on a Saturday morning. Shooting in the FiDi is really fun because light gets reflected off of so many surfaces - most notably the tall buildings but also the sparkly sidewalks. Megan and Willie were such great sports about sitting on the curb of busy streets as passersby went about their day. They also introduced me to some great views in Potrero Hill before ending at the Anchor Steam Brewery. We're looking forward to their fall wedding in Hopland!
About 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.
