Hi, my name is Jessica Peterson & I was born and raised in Kansas City and have studied, lived, and traveled all over this crazy world. I have been shooting weddings & portraits for over 5 years professionally in the Kansas City area. I accept 30 weddings per year and there is no travel fee for those living in either KC or AZ.
I studied Fashion Photography in NYC *some* years back at FIT and do my best to keep fresh with fashion trends which I hope reads as the golden threads of beauty throughout my imagery. I am a wife, a friend, an aunt, an animal lover, a vegetarian, an adreanaline junkie and a romantic. I love reading, shopping, eating, dancing, indie rock, trip hop, jeff de bruges chocolates, lip gloss, traveling & meeting new people from different spaces than my own.
I hope in this blog you can find information, inspiration, a laugh, a cry, a wedding photographer ;) & a friend. Please feel free to leave comments as often as you like, its comparable to free icecream on a late summer afternoon to receive comments from my readers!! yummmm, amarena gelato***yes, please!
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me & my work, if you have any questions about my services please feel free to call me anytime; p913.232.3729.

I can finally post Clar’s Bridal session! I have so many faves, here are a few…
I am so in love with the way Clarissa photographs….Gorge.gorge.gorge.gorge.gorge.
HAPPY FRIDAY PARTY PEOPLE! Busy weekend of Techno Festival, a Bestie’s Bday Bash, a Client’s Baby Shower & a Family Shoot! Monday will be my day for rest this week. Live it full, friends.

I completely forgot to blog these because they were given as a surprise gift and couldn’t blog them after we shot. Meet Olivia, MS. PERSONALITY.
let’s see your belly button!!
Look! at those chubby arms 
j’aime, Jessica.
have you ever sat face to face with someone and separated your mouths by one inch and opened your mouths and belted the same tone as loud and as long as you could? I used to do this with my sister on long car trips in the back of the Buick or the Green Van. . . and it gave me the strangest feeling- like our essence connected through that tone. Its an incredible feeling and I haven’t done it since I was a child. This video reminded me of it. I love the feel of the color and the bare world and the styling and the surprise ending of this video. Oh, I adore surprise endings.
Bon Weekend Amis!
j’aime jessica.
For the next 30 days I am taking my camera with me EVERYWHERE I go. Even the toilet. Yea, you read it right ;P Lots and lots going on in this life of mine for the next 30 days. So I suspect (much like yesterday) that when I say 100 frames a day, I really mean like 300-600. Depending on my mood. Here is 30 day to-do (& shoot) list :
1. Close on our first home
2. Play 4 sand volleyball games
3. See Shakespeare in the Park
4. Celebrate 2 of my bestfriends’ birthdays
5. Meet with a prospective Bride & Groom
6. Have our first washer and dryer and refrigerator installed
7. Pack & MOVE
8. Shoot a Wedding on Moving Day! eeeek (read the previous entry for explanation on why I would be so daring!)
9. Shoot 4 Family sessions
10. Go to a Techno Dance Festival
11. Shoot 3 more Weddings
12. Meet with two young photographers with questions about the industry
This is the list of importants standing out in my head at the moment. I am certain there will be much much more going on ~ I hope I hope.
Yesterday I went to my Father’s Aunt’s house for a belated Father’s Day celebration~ my Uncle & Aunt are in town from Florida and I went outside to play with the kids while all the “adults” were having adult-talk ;). Joan’s backyard is very pretty. And their neighbor had a tractor just glistening in the sun waiting to be used up. I hope on my death bed I can say I used me up and let my loved ones use me up and let strangers and friends use me up. I’ll always have more to give you.
Here is little Ethan. He turns 3 tomorrow
This is Super-Horse. He can fly with an orange ribbon, I mean cape, tied to his horsey tail.
This is my other second cousin, Luke. He’s 13, 5′10″, and a Skater boy- a cute Skater boy 
Lukey!
Enjoy the warmth & sun today! And thank you for reading and viewing my work and life.
j’aime jessica.
