Hello!

My name is Jessica King and I love to take photographs. To capture special moments and then to look back on their beauty makes me smile, and to be able to share this with friends, even more so. This passion has led me to study photography, graduating with an Advanced Diploma in Photography from the Photography Studies College (PSC) and a Bachelor of Contemporary Art (Deakin University) in Melbourne.

My style is artistic, fresh, light hearted, and fun. I take great joy in capturing moments of happiness, joy and laughter. I will happily photograph for you whether you are based in Melbourne or Hobart too.

Please enjoy my photos. I would love to hear about your special occasion, wedding day, or project and see how I can be involved!
