@heykaleb was a dream to work with. Kaleb brought the best energy to set and had the perfect look for this custom hat designed by the very talented, @aminahood.

Thank you to @wildmanvintage and @whatwouldtomforddo for providing the clothing for this
Beauty exists in the space between clarity and distortion.
