Quick Portrait



My friend Ericka from high school needed some portraits done. They are uber simple but it was a blast to shoot, just because we hadn't seen one another in awhile. Try and guess which one I wanted her to use.

I debated on leaving a comment (chances are you won't even read this) I just wanted to say that I worked with Erika for a few months a number of years ago and She is seriously the nicest person I have ever met! How you managed to cature her personality on film I will never know. Absolutely magnificent! p.s. just so you know this is Jena not Chris :0)

Your photography is stupendous.

The expression on her face in that first photo is amazing. I'd love to have a portrait of myself that looks like that. Your work is lovely.
