jessica: grad photo shoot.

i was nervous. and so was she. there is something about shooting another photographer that is nerve-racking and of course, for her being on the other side of the lens is just plain awkward. but after the first few frames, we were both at ease and laughing. uncontrollably at times. that's one of the things about jessica, i love most. she laughs. and makes me laugh. the moments of hilarity from yesterday's shoot were many and quite memorable.

she loves shoes and belts and all things vintage. she even collects vintage suitcases. she's creative and is passionate about making a difference with her art. she seeks to give voice to the voiceless and move people to action through her images. she never settles for the status quo and pushes herself and others to do better, to do more and to challenge mediocrity.

she is jessica fairchild conrad.

and this is her grad photo shoot.

this was a total accident and it's my favorite shot from the shoot. i don't even remember pressing the shutter when the biker went by. awesome-ness.

i love both of these shots. jessica at her best.

a lil' vintage flava.

look at those boots. broken in from walking all over nyc.

what an honor (and blast) it was to photograph her. seriously. be sure to check out her work here.
