Portland Oregon Engagement Sessions | Jessica Shepard Photography

About Me

I just love what I do. I first discovered photography almost 20 years ago, with a film SLR and my high school dark room. I went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in art and photography. During college, I swore to a friend I would always shoot film. Four years ago, I switched to Nikon digital gear.

For the past five years I have been photographing professionally, going full-time in early 2008. I photograph weddings, babies, families, and pregnancy. When I am not photographing for a client, I am often capturing my toddler, or taking landscapes as we explore the northwest.

I have an amazing energetic little girl, a darling hubby, and two cats. We live in the suburbs, just outside Portland. I'm a bit of a geek and can often be found behind my computer. I love nature, especially the beach, but also have an inner Jersey girl in me that comes out in odd ways.
