Jessica Shepherd

I grew up between the Mornington Peninsula & the Dandenong Ranges. This gave me the foundations of a constant love of nature. My Dad gifted me my first point and shoot in my early teens. From there, a love of art took on a whole new meaning for me. What started as a hobby eventually turned into a life passion. People, animals and emotion were always my favourite subjects.

I studied and completed an Advanced Diploma of Photography at PSC in Melbourne back in 2015. 

As with many women, I know the feeling of not knowing my worth. 
‘So how do you change this?’, I asked myself. You start empowering others, while you learn to empower yourself. Today I am fuelled by creating beautiful portraits, seeking the emotion and true character each person in front of my camera. I am passionate about making people feel comfortable in their own skin, no matter what walk of life they are from.

Now a Mother to one gorgeous little boy, my heart has expanded to depths of nurturing I've never experienced in my life. It has naturally magnetised me to a lot of family portraits nowadays which I am absolutely loving!
