A little bit of my story.
Welcome!
My vision.
Before anything else, I'm Jessica Peterson (she/her), mama to Abigail (15), Waldron (13), November (10), and Madrona (3). I've been a lot of things in my life (waitress, middle school teacher, Barnes & Noble bookseller, blackjack dealer…), but I always wanted to be an artist, even though I couldn’t draw or paint. Photography had been a hobby since college, but it wasn’t until my first child was born that I really embraced it as a creative outlet. Over the years, I've learned that my artistic gifts are my vision and my sense for story. As a mama who is watching her own children grow up too quickly, I see beauty and story in everything, and I know how important it is to preserve this moment in time before it is gone. I would love to share some of what I see with you. I want you to LOVE your story.
My experience.
I’ve been a professional photographer for the last fourteen years. My focus up until recently was birth photography and videography, a highly technical and fast-paced niche, but my current season of life is incompatible with being on-call. Maybe some day I’ll be back in the birth space (and repeat clients, please do reach out in case the stars align, because I would still love to be there for you), but for now I’m mainly shooting maternity, newborn, and families, as well as offering video options for those sessions.
"The photos that Jessica has taken of my family are my most cherished possessions and the best investment I've ever made. I am so thankful to have these memories perfectly frozen in time. The photos she's taken hang proudly all over our home and when anyone asks who took them I don't hesitate to recommend Jessica. She is truly incredible.”
