Hi there, I'm Jess Peterson, or Jessica or Jessie. I was born and raised abroad, and have traveled all over the world. From Asia to Europe, and a slew of countries throughout Central and South America, I have enjoyed the sights and sounds of many different cultures. I currently reside in SE Florida, but am blessed to still travel quite frequently. I am a gypsy at heart.

Photography has always been my passion, but I only started selling my work when I set up shop on Etsy in 2007, when Etsy first started out. I look at my world as if through the lens of camera, so my camera gear travels with me wherever I go, just in case something sparks my interest or makes my heart sing. This can be anything from an insect precariously perched on a flower petal, a striking sunset, an abandoned farm house. I also love the abstract. Vibrant colors are a major focus, but Black & White rocks my socks off as well.

There is so much wonder in this world, and although capturing the images through the “eye” of my cameras won’t recreate the immense, awe-inspiring joy I experienced capturing the image, I’m hoping you feel some of that joy as you view my work.

I have started, recently, adding textures to some of my work , but for the most part, other than a little fine tuning, my photos are pretty much out of the camera.

And yes, these images are all mine. [smile]
