California /  by Jessica Peterson

Last weekend I was able to go to California for work/play. I couldn't have asked
for a better setup. I swear the stars were aligned, everything
worked out so beautifully.


This is Jill and Kenny
Thanks so much for all the time and effort in helping me out!!
I had so much fun seeing you

da girls /  by Jessica Peterson

Yesterday morning I had a wonderful shoot with the Lewis girls. I had so much fun with them, not only are they beautiful but they are the most down-to-earth, lovely, loving, fun peeps I know. They are basically the sisters I never had and have always wanted.







This is Charee's little girl Chloe

A doll that he bought in a second hand store,

jolly/creepy thing

New York /  by Jessica Peterson

I have been in New York for the past week visiting family and enjoying fantastic food (no offense Utah but your food is lame). Part of me wants to move back here, I love the people, art culture, and so much about the city, I figure it's such a great time in my life to be in such a place. I don't know if I am a person who constantly needs change or if I keep running from unpleasant situations thinking the grass will be greener on the other side. All I know is that I get bored easily and I need for something to change soon.
On a much lighter note.... Last night Abby and I went out to the Beauty Bar to go dancing, unfortunately it ended up being Karaoke Night.... We sang Neil Diamond's "Girl, you'll be a woman soon". I figured everyone would be too drunk to notice how bad we would suck but I guess all the alcohol in the world couldn't sugarcoat the horrid screeching from our mouths because most people looked away or left the room. We were proud of ourselves though, especially because we weren't drunk but totally self-aware.

Okay, I need to go but I will post photos as soon as I get home.
Peace.

I can't think of a better job, I get to hang out with puppies and baby chicks, take pictures of friends and dress up in the middle of the work day and no one blinks an eye.

Kids /  by Jessica Peterson


My attempt at children's photography, to be honest I just wanted to live vicariously through them and build spaceships and planes.  I had a lot of fun with the little guys.  Thanks Mary, Matty and Rylan for letting me dress you up and make you run around in wife-beaters, undies and cowboy hats.  



















It's been a long month..... /  by Jessica Peterson

I haven't posted anything in a while, mostly because both my home and work computers have decided not to work for me, thanks to Ryan and his brain my computer is up and running.  So, like my title states, I have had a long freaking month.  I guess I will post some pics to go along with my stories to make them more interesting, although I need to add some more pics later when I get to my home computer.  Near the beginning of the month some kids from work and headed to Moab for a photo shoot.  It was amazingly beautiful, our models just happen to be close friends of mine so it made the trip even better.  Here are some photos:




It was a great trip until we stopped in Green River to grab dinner, I ate the most delightful
 Navajo taco.   Two hours later I found my face stuck in the toilet where it remained for the next day until I turned yellow and white so I decided it was time to get myself fixed up nice n' good.

This is me during my first visit to the hospital:
Look close, my tongue is hanging out of my face, I love it.


Two Days later we board a plane to Hawaii...
Here are some shots from hawaii
