This past Saturday I got to photograph my nephew’s senior session and I must say it was such a surreal moment.  Jason and I met when my sister was pregnant with him, so we’ll always know how long we’ve known each other by how old he is.  He’s 18.  Jason & I have known each other over half our lives.  Amazing!

I also started my first photography class in high school that year and I took the first picture of him after he was born.  I processed and developed it in our high school dark room.  I can honestly say at that time I never would have imagined I’d make a career out of photography, but here I am 18 years later photographing him yet again.

xoxo,

Jessie

This past Saturday I had the privilege of photographing good friend and fellow photographer, Emily Ku!  I know Emily was a little nervous to be in front of the camera and I don’t blame her.  I get absolutely terrified of being in front of the camera.  I’m much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. But, when it comes to photographing another photographer, well, I was a bit nervous about that.  I’m sure dentists get nervous when having to do a fellow dentist’s cleaning, right?!? Well, as it turns out, we had no reason to feel nervous.  We had a fun time together chatting, acting silly, and just being us while I got some new shots for her the new website she’s working on!  I love Emily’s easy going personality and I just love her honesty and how she keeps it real.

A big thanks and shout out to Megan from Makeup in the 702 for Emily’s hair & makeup! Thanks, Emily, for stepping in front of my camera!  You rocked it!

xoxo,

Jessie
