    THAT PHOTO AT 16:06 OMG!!! I actually paused the video in awe 😍😍😍

  4. pvcollectives says

    You should vlog a day or week in your work life.

  5. Maria Isabel Villalba says

    Hi Jessica, I see all your videos, but I would know you speak Spanish? Your work is fantastic but I dont' understand 😂

  6. Cyber Gaming says

    I like these vlogs

  7. Kiera Jo says

    The 50mm f/1.2 L is my next lens to purchase! I got the 85mm f/1.2 L (second hand, great price) in January, and I love it! I need more excuses to use it! Can't wait to upgrade my 50, too (currently have the 1.4 and use it ALL THE TIME).

    P.S. I like when you vlog. You can be strong like the Marine Corps, too! Go Jessica!

  8. Sarah Bo says

  11. Lena Steinke says

    I love your videos! The 50mm 1.2 looks amazing! Can´t wait to see more of it in your next videos. 🙂

    Jessica I love watching you so much! Your personality is so fun and encouraging. Thanks for producing such positive resources for us!

  14. Bryant Gonzalez says

    So quirky 🤪

  15. Carmen Constantinescu says

    do you preffer 35 or 50 mm lens? I'm just asking because I'm so undecided about my first prime lens (to buy). Also, I'm not a professional, I'm only taking photos as a hobby. What would you recommend? I do shoot people and street photography. What would you recommend me, Jessica? Thanks so much <3 Love from Romania

  16. Meredith Xu says

    I LOVE YOUR VLOGS <3 please continue, Jess!! xx

  17. Alyssa Tsuchiya says

  20. jomel rojas says

    do a photo challenge use ur vlogging cam for a shoot!!!that would be great

  21. Noealz Photo says

    It's always super exciting to get new gear. The 50 1.2 is actually one of the first L lenses I got, the first one was the 24 1.4 – LOVE it but its so chunky and slow to focus, but the images are sooo good

  22. Kel-Z Z says

    Do you ever rent lenses to try out to see if you love it? I love the 85mm over the 35mm but the 50mm 1.2 is the best in my book

  23. Evan Brown says

    I'm sorry to hear about your cliff bars, that sucks hahaha

  24. chrismas says

    What’s your dream camera? Canon 5D Mark IV?

  25. Paula Coronado says

    Looooove your style 🙂 & love seeing how your day is as a photographer! Maybe one day Ill be able to do that! 😉
