Hey everyone! Whew – it’s been a crazy hectic 10 days for me that included 3 magazine shoots, eating radioactive eggs for an endocrinology exam, having 2 dermatology surgeries, photographing an amazing couple’s wedding day, and putting on my first wedding workshop & styled shoot! And the last few days? At the Naval Hospital in San Diego getting the hubby fixed with his doctor’s appointments. It’s weeks like these that I’m thankful for my flexible schedule, wonderful friends and amazing clients! And thankful that everything is good health-wise and our adventure continues!
Since I typically use these “Freyday” posts to get to know the girl behind the camera I had 2 things I wanted to share today while we’re still getting the behind the scenes images from the workshop ready. The first – some iPhone hipstimatic shots I got at Balboa Park’s Botanical building….and the second – 99 Things I’ve done 😉 So keep scrolling & enjoy getting to know more about me!! Have a great weekend!! – Jessica

I love reading your freyday post! Just thought I’d let you know that you bring excitement to my day off:)
Such an awesome post! Let’s see, I’m not really surprised by any of them because of the outgoing person you are, I’m surprised I knew that you did so many of them. As I was reading I was like, “Oh yeah…I remember her telling me that and that and that”. A testament to our true friendship!
I was a little surprise about the Salt Lake “Floating” ewww 😉
For me…I counted up 56 have dones, pretty close! Many are the same as yours and some are different. I think one of the ones I would love to do is buy a stranger a meal…that would be cool! And visit the White House 😉 Happy weekend my friend!!!
Love this 😉
Wow! Surprises me the most = been an extra in a movie, the one I love = saving your Popple :), and the ones I would like to do = go whale watching (although I’ll probably be scared and get sea sick) and serve in a soup kitchen. Do I think they will happen this year…probably not, but there on my list! 🙂
