Jaymes reunion is an especially ironic name for this band as it relates to me.

I got an e-mail from my old friend/room mate Tyson, who now runs BEC Recordings, saying he had a band in the Bay Area he wanted me to shoot. Cool, I’m going to be there for my sister’s birthday anyways, why not make the trip a write off?  Turns out the band is Jaymes Reunion, named partially for my way old friend Cameron Jaymes. Cameron and I were in youth group at the same church waaaaaay back when. We were both into music but didn’t really keep in touch as we both went our separate ways after high school. Turns out he got signed to BEC and I got to reconnect with him and shoot his band. But it gets crazier. His guitar player, it turns out, is also my old friend Braydon Nelson. Our dads were friends and we too were both into music. He ended up going to Berkelee, graduating, then coming back. I heard little bits and pieces about him but it was mostly 2nd hand. So, this shoot turned out to be a crazy reunion of old music friends as well as a super fun shoot.

We ended up driving around Livermore and taking shots kind of wherever we could find. Great hang, good times, and I love the pictures!
