portrait [jake]

did i say i was going to blog monday? oops. :\ to be honest, i can't even remember what happened on monday! buuuut, i am officially a year older -- as of yesterday.

and as a 22 year old, i want you to meet jake (as promised, just two days later).

jake went to my high-school. in fact, when i was graduating, he was in 8th grade. and would write me notes. and draw me pictures of harry potter. he was a charmer even back then.

even though our recent windstorm basically suctioned all the leaves off the trees on the 800 acres where we shot, we drove - on golf-carts no less - and found many places where we could still capture a sense of "autumn."

jake was great to work with. he tried very hard to keep his tough-guy exterior, but i've got to say that my silly faces and crazy-out-of-your-world jokes were no match for him. ;)

jake, i had such a blast on our shoot! i wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors!
