On a Boat by Jessica Peterson

Last Sunday while in California we were blessed with the amazing opportunity to take a boat trip to Catalina Island (we called it nature church).


The most beautiful things happened to us
We saw dolphins

And a humpback whale followed (Kristina thought it was called a hunchback whale... we haven't stopped laughing since)


Dance party.


everyone passed out on the way back.

Digital Pin Hole Camera by Jessica Peterson

The mirror had fallen out of place (Yikes) but that wont stop me from taking pictures. Without the mirror I can't see what the camera is viewing so it's mostly guesswork, like the pinhole camera but with a lens etc...
This morning we took the dogs to the park. Fun and free images.

Katie acting like Max
best moment of the day... happy I got it

Amy's Axel by Jessica Peterson

Amy's little dude is the best (sorry for exhausting my blue wall) but it is just so freaking blue.
We had fun this morning and it was so great to spend time with such a good friend (love you Amy).

I love chalkboard soooooo much.









So cute... by Jessica Peterson

After shooting Axel, Tessa and her fiance Adam (I'm gonna be shooting their wedding in June, hooray) came home and we wanted to take advantage of the fishie chalkboard. So cute.


Blind Contours #3 by Jessica Peterson

Last night's dinner party called for portraits.

Blind contours: line drawing that is created without the use of constantly looking at the paper. Instead, one concentrates intensely on the item that he/she is drawing and tries to draw the many shifts of lines and tangents of lines seen.


Bryce (my favorite one)
Natalie (both)
Jason and Pearl
Cassandra
Rose and Justin

And line drawings of a tape I found and some words.

Mini Adventure by Jessica Peterson

Friday afternoon Pearl and I went to check out this abandoned house that a friend had photographed before. To our surprise someone had left giant wings on all of the walls... Thank you to whoever that was cause I put them to use.
What a creepy yet beautiful space.






Cats hate Max by Jessica Peterson

Max walked around the entire day with what I thought was a booger on his head, I went to wipe it off a few times but figured it was better left alone...
It wasn't until later that night my roommate Tessa pulled at the "booger" and found that it was Cat's claw stuck deep into the poor guys skull.

Luckily I have some pictures of the claw/booger on his head.

It's the white speck above his right eye...
