Organizing Jars by Jessica Peterson

Because of the great lack of drawer space in the studio I decided to use shelves with labeled jars as storage containers.  I know most of these are cheesy but I figured I will be more likely to put things back in there place if I enjoy going back to it. 
I couldn't think of anything for the jar of chalk, if you have any ideas I would appreciate it!

                                           I went on a road trip with my mom last weekend.

Claire and Chris by Jessica Peterson

I photographed this beautiful backyard wedding.  Claire wanted the wedding to have a "tea party" feel for her special day.  It was so bright and natural and it was so much fun to photograph.  My favorite part was not only her vintage dress but the many, many bridesmaids she had in creams and blushes, it made for such a beautiful pallet to work with.

Thanks you two!

Found Items by Jessica Peterson

I am a part of a small group of women photographers in my area.  We get together once a month to talk shop, talk trash, talk pretty, talk politics, talk photo.  We give ourselves assignments to keep juices flowing.  This last one was tabletop.  I walked around the studio building and picked up these 4 little bits.  I can't tell you how relaxing shooting still life is for me, I like the silence and the solitude.  The purple flowers and part of a bouquet C gave me and the nails and screws are leftovers from the giant chalkboard I built this week.

I like simple things.

An Odd Studio Visit by Jessica Peterson

I am working in my dream environment, I can bring my dog to work with me.  This morning I photographed Max.  He was very cooperative but only after I gave him Tootsie Rolls.   This afternoon Andrew came by to see the new studio.  I photographed him as well.  He was very cooperative but only after I gave him Diet Coke. When I downloaded the photos I couldn't get over how much the two resembled each other.  Strange how things happen.
