Fountains of Downtown featuring Kristen

Case in point. This shot wasn’t planned and was completely random, but it turned out pretty sweet none-the-less. Jason, Eliesha, and myself were downtown doing a mini-group shoot with Nikki and Christie. I was setting up some lights for when … Continue reading
