I was so excited to see a post from you this morning. I was even more excited when I saw the pictures and felt like I was on the beach. The shots are beautiful Jess. What awesome memories you must have of that place. A tradition you must carry on when you have little ones 🙂 Next year I am inviting myself to be one of the friends that drop by…LOL

Thanks, Christina! I hope to be able to carry on a tradition like this…so much fun! And of course you guys are invited next year =) I wasn’t able to stay long enough this year, but hopefully next year will be different!

Hey Jess –

I am so excited for you and this new chapter in your life! I have enjoyed every minute of our working together and I have learned sooooo much from you. You are an amazing woman and I am lucky to know you. Work will not be the same without you. I guess I’m going to have to get a twitter account to keep up with all of your success!

So, when are we going to lunch? 🙂

Love you lots!
Jo

PS – you know what you are???? Don’t make me say it.

Christina, I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have met you. YOU are so amazing and I am just so blessed by your friendship. I feel like I’ve known you longer than I have. I look forward to learning more from you, as a woman, a photographer, a mother & a friend. You rock and can’t wait to see you again =)

Mom, thank you again so much for your sweet words. I already told you yesterday, but I just so appreciate your support and encouragement. I love you to pieces!

Mel, thank you, thank you, thank you! I so appreciate you reading my blogs and just being so supportive. I love you! And he is an awesome dog =)

Jo, OMG you’re not silently stalking me anymore! I really am gonna miss seeing you everyday, but can’t wait to go to lunch. Maybe we can even start next week?! You have been SO wonderful to work with, I can’t even begin to tell you. And I have learned so much from YOU, so i think you got that backwards =) I’ll help you set up that Twitter account, then other people will think you’re really popular too when you leave work and your phone starts blowing up with messages…haha! Love you, too, and talk to you soon!

Fantastic work, Jess – thank you SO much! Can’t wait to see the rest!

D F Hermann

Fantastic pictures!!
Some of the best I’ve ever seen

thank you so much to both of you!!

Peter

Great work, Jess! You’ve captured that bubbly personality with the expertise of a veteran.

What filters, if any, are you using?

I like the B&W with the hula hoop in color. I’d be interested in a similar effect with just the eyes in color; either of the last two photos on this page would be a good candidate, but you may have others that would work even better.

thanks so much, Peter! it was nice to get to meet you the other day =) i am actually only using a UV Protection filter, so nothing special!

and i would be more than happy to apply that effect to some of the other photos…so glad you like them!

thanks again =)

Christina

<3 as usual. She is so beautiful!! You are going to have to teach me the B&W conversion with the pop of color. I am not as precise….LOL
Great job Jess

Christina, i will totally show you! we need to start making a list…lol!
