As most boys sessions are, Jalan’s senior celebration was pretty chill and laid back. He is already a natural in front of the camera so this was easy breezy for us both. We had plenty laughs as usual amongst a few of his serious debonair faces. I didn’t have to do much prompting at all. We just hung out in Deep Ellum for a bit and got some dope images.

I have two songs on iTunes.
