i love my friends: version iris.0

i'm so lucky to have all of the people that i love in my life.  every single one of them.  i'm even more lucky to have friends in my life like iris . . a person that i can be completely myself around, who brings out my best self, and a person i can tell any(damn)thing to and know without a shadow of a doubt that there will be no judgment of any kind.  only support and understanding.  and she will probably undoubtedly make me laugh too.

iris came to visit me in DC the weekend before last and i decided to showcase her drop-dead-beautiful self in a series of photos.  we busted out my camera, seamless backdrop, and lighting setup around 11 pm saturday night and it was somehow the perfect time.  there are so many beautiful shots of iris that it's difficult for me to choose my favorites.  i mean . . just look at her.

and then there are all of these gems!



she is a complete natural in front of the camera and was so much fun. after so many great shots, i asked jesse to jump in and take some photos of iris and i together with our brand new faux fur hats that we will be rocking this winter WHAAAAT. jesse did an awesome job, even if he was grumpy about it.

here's me wishing i could see iris every weekend. i guess i'll just have to gaze upon these photos whenever i am missing her.
