I'm excited to partner with Balli creating new fitness branding content.
Balli is a professional dance instructor, choreographer, and fit model from Miami, Florida currently living in Texas. For my fourth shoot with Balli, we returned to Dance Empire in South Miami with the goal of creating content for her growing fitness business.

For this entire shoot, I wanted to play with light. For this outfit, I paired the green color with orange and red gels.
I took off the gels and used a 3x4 softbox to create this fun, soft light.
Balli switched into a beautiful earth neutral color.
Balli switched into this sassy black outfit and we used the vibe to create.
I added some pink (her favorite color) highlights using gels.
I loved the combo of the shorts with the white top for this look. The photo featuring the phone was an outtake while Balli took a call.
The dance studio has this cool retro sign on the wall. We definitely had to use it so I lit Balli in pink and turned off the lights.
I am so thankful Balli. She is such a great person to work with. I'm looking forward to our next shoot: this time hopefully in Houston, Texas.
