A Hint

I have a sneak peek of my latest shoot!! My sister Abby and her boyfriend Mike.

Fun with Fur balls

So I promised to be better at blogging right?? I work at a hair salon to pay the bills and unfortunately last week my boss told me that their beloved Ruby only had a few weeks left and wanted me to come over to take some shots of her. I went over and took photographs of all three of their dogs and one of their cats. I had a blast! Heather (my boss) and I were laughing hysterically the whole time trying to get the dogs to pose and sit still... I was slightly successful by Hallmark's standard however Heather LOVES the shots and wants me to come back to take one of Zeus their other cat. I thought I wouldn't enjoy photographing pets but I actually love it! They're so fun and they're such an adventure. They all have their own personalities and my favorite one from this shoot to photograph was Cole the pug. I hope you enjoy them. Jess

Bad Blogger

Ok, so I am completely horrible at keeping up with this thing... I need to change that... I have recently been inspired by Kamee June. She is a photographer out in Cali and I LOOOOOVE her work!! I want to try to shoot more like that- ya know laid back not so posey and forced. I'm shooting a family on Sunday and am VERY excited!! See you all soon! Jess

Here are a few more from yesterday's shoot. I had a lot of fun shooting Malena and these images are my favorite up to date!!!

I know I know it's been awhile since I've been on here.... I did a shoot today with one of the lovely ladies I work with and I'm pretty happy with how they all came out. Thanks Malena! Here is a sneak peak of what I've been up to. Enjoy!

Field Trip

This past weekend I went on a field trip to the country side of the Czech Republic to hear a famous documentary photographer Jindrich Streit speak. He only started shooting at the age of 40 and has 23 photography books he's published over the past 18 years. His stuff can be found at any Barnes and Noble. He was great to hear speak. I had a lot of fun and connected with more people. I have to say Prague is great but the country side is better. It's real, raw and honest. We also had coffee and cakes with two up and coming czech photographers in one of their homes. It was very bohemien quarky and cute. Both of them were extremely down to earth and didn't consider themselves better than others like a lot of American photographers that consider themselves on the "A" list are. Both of them have their work in galleries in the states- in New York and in Philidelphia. Unfortunately I forgot both of their names... It was refreshing and encouraging to meet such interesting, selfless people who happen to be photographers as well.

Prague has been amazing!!! I gotta say it's probably equal to my experience at Hallmark. I've met really great people- some now my life long friends and I'm sad to leave them. But everything has a season. I have one week left and I'm not quite sure what's next on the agenda. I need to seriously buckle down and get some work done... or rather get work. anyway all for now.
