Shalina Lives is the online portfolio of Shalina Photography and a source for creative inspiration.
Jodee Smith is a former bay area model who is back looking better than ever! She has an amazing story and is a real inspiration to me. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to photograph her. I’m extremely grateful. Thank you, Jodee! You look amazing!

Last weekend, I had this desire to buy a bunch of balloons and go shoot some photos in the city. So I did! I grabbed a few of my talented friends to collaborate on this project. Ali’s the beautiful girl in the photos. Makeup by Shaya Goldhaber. Hair and assistance by Shannon Reinhardt. Photos by Shalina (ME!). We also had a second shooter, Brian, that came along. I look forward to seeing his pics as well, as it’s always nice to see a second perspective. I had a really fun day. Thanks to all of you that helped!
I’ve been wanting to dabble a bit in fashion photography, so I recruited this gorgeous girl from the coffee shop I frequent. This was her first modeling shoot and you’d never know it. It seemed like she’d been doing this for years.
Also, I’ve become great friends with a couple that live right across the hall from me in my apartment complex. After hearing I was a photographer, they asked me over to talk about shooting their wedding in April. I learned that Brian is a photographer among many other talents, and Shaya is a very experienced and skilled makeup artist. She has done a lot of well known TV shows and movies (CSI, Jackass movies and more). Shaya came with me on this shoot and as you can see, she did an amazing job on the makeup!
