It's always such an honor when fellow creative pals trust you with a photoshoot: my friend Jamie Aaron makes amazing music, and hired me to do some portraits for her upcoming project. It was an absolute honor and a pleasure to work with her, and we wound up getting some really great shots she used for her album's release and new website.

I took this image at the end of our shoot, after I'd fulfilled all the requirements -- I couldn't resist the natural light coming through the window of the loft, and it wound up being one of my personal favorites from the day. A good reminder to always trust my instincts, and to make the photos I see in my head whenever possible.
