Welcome back Isaac!

mini mouse

I usually hate mice but this little girl grew on me.
She is now in a "happy meal" box on my desk and I don't know what to do with her. I feel bad.

It's almost the weekend but that doesn't mean a whole lot these days. Somethings not right.

I wanna take a vacation from myself for a while, is that possible?

Today

Was a relaxing shoot in the studio.
I am liking shooting in the studio more and more.
My passion for imagery had been growing like weeds and I'm going to go with it.








On a more personal note, I am really tired of selfish, self-centered people who think of nothing besides serving themselves and knocking down anyone who they see as a threat. I don't understand why we all wouldn't try to feed of off each other to grow and become better, I find it's the insecure and the ugly that are scared to lift others above themselves for fear of equality. Chris reminded me last night of the bitter pill I have been swallowing and I am trying to turn my cheek but I hate giving it to these people.... I am trying because I know I will be happier. WWJD!

Okay Jess.... 3 more weeks until Thanksgiving bre

so cute.
saturday we did a shoot at the academy of ballet in springville

It's been a busy day.

Aaron is a stud and I like markers now. I decided to switch it up a bit. What do ya think?







Did a little shoot in the park

Why is Natalie so beautiful?






I am tired
but it's the good kind of tired.
Hope all is well with you
Happy Halloween

Love
Jess

Take advantage of what surrounds you
I am trying to do this.

My dear friend Elna is in town visiting her family and I saw that her little brother had an awesome T-bird that was screaming to be photographed so I did what it asked and I am kinda loving the images more than I thought I could love images.

For the past 15 minutes I have been typing and erasing my thoughts. I hate when I edit myself too much. I guess I am not sure who reads this or what they expect to get from me. Do I really want to share my mini antics about what I am trying to get from life or how I make sense of the joy and pain I run through daily? I don't know. But it feels good to put something out there.

Lake Powell

I have been in Lake Powell for the past week.
Tons of fun and we got some great shots. I'll post some more tomorrow but I gotta run.

I attempted fashion...
Not really my style but I had fun dipping my fingers into something a little different
from my norm.
Sarah Tyau
ans Tawni Bensen are the models
Rachel Lewis on make-up/hair
And clothed by forever 21 (all for under 40 bones)
peace.

These kids remind me of my brother Travis and I when we were
little. I pretty much created our childhood for this shoot.
Thanks so much Brea, Kelli and Jess for
helping me today.

Happy Birthday Mom

It's my mommas birthday today! I love her.

Doctors, ballers and boxers

Once again we take advantage of the prop room at work and
for a brief moment allow ourselves to become someone else,
sometimes I think I should have been an actress.

Me as my mom as a college student

Flo, serves the most fantastic blueberry pie and coffee at the local diner

Beauty's where you find it

Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor

vogue

from the mouth of a true goddess... Modonna, you are a genius.

Well, this is the product of messing around in the studio with my co-worker Michael Wiltbanks (PS happy birthday tomorrow). I hope this was worth an hour waisted at work. Oh well, life is a ball...

I taught Jimmy how to flex so he could show off his Batman tattoo,

The many expressions of Jimmy

believe it or not but lil' Jim had made all of these faces while watching cars pass by the
window, every time he saw a car pass he would
scream "CARRO". I wish I was as excited about simple things as he is.

This weekend was too short.

Arizona

I am in Tucson for the weekend to visit my brother Jimmy and his family.  I have spent the day with my nephew Jimmy and it has been out of control fun, the cutie never stops with the kisses and laughs.  He is my little dude and I love every minute I get to be with him.  I have taken a million pictures but my brother is living in the Flinstone age and doesn't have photoshop on his computer so I will post them when I get home.  

I can't say I love Tucson or even like it but it's always nice to taste something different.  

I found this image on my brothers iphoto...

Before I became a photographer I was an actress in LA, unfortunately this was from the only part I ever got...

only kidding but not really.

Feet

I feel kinda cool 'cause some feet I shot a while back are on the Urban Outfitters website. Check it.

FYI

My company started a blog called the Rubberblog...
Check it out if you wanna, it's just a space where the photographers in
the company can share what is shot ect...
