Anson Portrait Session + Cincinnati Wandering

What do you get when you have three cousins, one gloriously grey city, three days, an embarrassing amount of junk food, and approximately one million common interests? It turns out, you get a splendid time and some musician-y portraits, along with snapshots of the weekend. Anson was a gracious host, and a joy to collaborate with (not to mention the voice of method and logic to our escape room team). A great trip is always one day too short, and this was no exception - so Anson, prepare the apartment, we’ll be moving in for keeps next week. ;)

Somewhere in West Virginia.

We’re starting a band. If anyone’s interested in hearing a beginner guitarist, a mediocre pianist, and a world class french horn player just let me know.

In Anson’s apartment, observational practice session.

A lil behind-the-scenes, courtesy of my brother Jake. There’s weird posture, there’s sub framing, my hair’s in a messy bun. It’s a pretty good snapshot of life as I know it. :)

Love the mid practice side-eye.

Headed out to walk the town, make some portraits, and see what we can see.

On Thistle & Sun shoots, we all make an effort to take ourselves quite seriously.
