Rivera Imagery

So it's time to get going on the push to get the name out there in Moreno Valley.      I've seen a ton of neon portrait photos on instagram and have some ideas on how to get some great shots. The issue now, is how does a guy photographer get some amateur models/high school seniors to meet me at an arcade early in the morning on a Sunday without coming off creepy?      One way or another, I've got to figure that part out and soon.

...But a day behind the lens shooting these athletes is a great day.      I was lucky enough to have a coach for the highest division of the Moreno Valley Diamond Girls Softball Association, come up to me during a game I was shooting.      I was shooting my youngest daughter's game and his team was playing later that day. Turns out he's also managing the currently undefeated Division 3/4 Cyclones. Could it have been fate that 3/4 (3rd batallion 4th Marines) was also my unit when I was in the Marine Corps? Who knows?      Either way, I packed up my gear and my "apprentice" 2nd photographer (my oldest daughter) and we were on our way! I'm so happy to have had this opportunity, because this team is absolutely dominant! I mean, it was crazy how good this team is, from the top to the bottom of the lineup. Hopefully my daughter took some pointers since she wants to play this fall.      As far as actually cover...
