Funny story about Melissa, the day she originally wanted to do the shoot, it was forecasted to rain. So the night before the shoot, which happened to by Uyen and Tim’s wedding, she texts me that she would like to reschedule. “No problem,” I thought.

Fast forward a week to the actual shoot, I find out she does lion dancing! On top of that, she was the red lion at Uyen and Tim’s wedding! Crazy small world.

I would like present to you, portraits of a lion dancer:

It’s a beautiful day at Sauvie Island, and it’s the second coming of Summer (this is the coldest summer in Oregon in 17 years). Jenny is a senior at Reynolds High School and is looking cute and sassy! She claims she’s not a huge Twilight fan, but later admitted she’s Team Jacob. Don’t worry, I am too, but your secret is no longer safe with me.

Lastly, thanks to my assistant/second shooter Steve for taking this “in action” shot of me.
