Moving Blues by Jessica Peterson

While packing I become distracted by the camera.


Max pretending to help but really just getting in the way

I will miss seeing this everyday






So, 

I am sad to say that I am moving out of my fantastic little house on 9th.  To be honest I am heart broken.  Damn sentimentality... I photographed the light that came into the house, It is always so peaceful to me.  I don't want to dwell on this anymore, change is good and exciting and I need to remember that when I am hurting.


Blessed by Jessica Peterson

I feel very blessed.

Reasons:

1. today for work I did three things I love at once, taking photographs, swim and chill with my dog

2. because Claire is awesome and always says the right things at the right time all the time

3. I ate a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich and an otter-pop for breakfast

My favorite image of the shoot









Me and Max...

Thank you Ryan for letting me use you for your merman physique and for wrangling a stinky, belchy, wet dog in the pool. I owe you big time.

I am really starting to like these images the more I look at them. While shooting I was really nervous that they weren't going to turn out from the lack of cooperation from my dog and the lack of pool visibility... but now that all is said and done I am happy with them just as they are.

I feel like I have been sucked dry from all creativity.  Like my brain has been turned to commercial mush... no not even commercial mush... to nothing.  I need to retreat to somewhere new for a while and figure out what I want to say again cause there is nothing to be said here.
someone please....

For Diana by Jessica Peterson

shout out to D.

I am coming out to visit you soon.

Get ready for the following:

picture taking like Arbus
beaching like whales
eating like boys 
gossiping like teenagers
laughing like stoners

Be excited. 


Thank You Steph.... by Jessica Peterson

For being so beautiful and sweet.
Yesterday I photographed Stephanie Dunn, she really is such a sweetheart.  My pictures don't do this girl justice.  
Here is Baby-Kitty... (thanks Marnie for letting use him).  Baby-Kitty really was the tenderest thing, he was such a snuggley kitty and loved being right next to us as if he were ours.





eeeee.... the cutest...

Kitty looks like a little bear in this one with his mouth agape.





While I was shooting I was thinking to myself that I wish I could go back to me 7 year old self and tell me that  I would be photographing kitties for work as an adult, I would have been stoked... I am stoked now. he he... 




 Remember Kitty from a few posts back?
Here he is again.  He seriously has been hanging outside of my house just waiting for me to come out.  I didn't mind at first but he has started to get aggressive/possessive and it wasn't so cute.  

Bumpit... Every Utah girls dream by Jessica Peterson





Really?

I couldn't believe what I was seeing while I was waiting in line at Target this afternoon...
Well, I guess I could.

Please don't be offended by the "every Utah girls dream" comment,  I am a Utah girl.  It's just that there are many girls in Utah that believe they should sport ''prom" hair daily.  

Only 19.99 to look like a playboy bunny.  Let's all do it!
