It is amazing what can bring people together. Like a hat! The opportunity to take this photo came from a simple interaction between two creatives about a hat. Mr. Rhett Walker, singer-songwriter, and Ladonna of Aiken Hattery, had come together to customize his hat. After adjusting the hat, she wanted Rhett to meet with a few of us to do some collaboration. We met over coffee and hit it off immediately, throwing ideas around and coming up with some amazing event ideas for the future. And I had the privilege of taking the photos.
We were able to set up the photo shoot around the very hat that brought us all together. All because of a little fix, I was able to meet a person I had never imagined being able to meet. Not only that, I had the honor of capturing some incredible moments with him. This photo was one of my favorite moments of my photography career, and it also gave me the chance to meet and become friends with some amazing people. All because of a simple hat!
