portraits: Jessi Sto. Domingo

Jessi's eyes and smile just light up the room! On the other side of the spectrum, her model pout adds so much drama to the other photos. I love this girl -- her look is so dynamic!

Note: these portraits were actually taken before her hair was done, which explains the (slightly) unkempt hair. ;)

Worked with these amazing young stylists last Saturday for their blog, The New Department. Watch out for them -- they'll be making big waves in the industry for sure.
