Welcome. Bienvenue.

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.

My continual culinary adventure + a wedding album.

My Step-Father is a master baker….from about 6 generations of German bakers. He’s amazing, his food is amazing, his passion for food & life is amazing (and delicious). I decided I needed to learn how to make bread. Sourdough was my first attempt and sourdough with olives (i love love olives). ...

I poach things.

Like pears, for instance. If you know me at all, you know I love LOVE good food. good wine. good dessert. With that, comes an obsession with cooking anything I haven’t yet cooked. I am, in my dreams, romantically involved with a man named David Lebovitz. He is a world...
