The Kids Were Here: August | Personal

In a week with lots of client sessions, I am so excited to bring the 3rd edition of “The Kids Were Here”, a project that a group of Springfield Photographer friends and I are doing as a blog circle this year!  If you missed last month, you can view it here.

This project is meant to document the messes our kids leave behind…and even more-so  the stories that those messes tell, and to help us track the memories.  My sweet boy’s messes have changed even in the last few months, and are involving more regular household items and less toys.  He is getting so interested in all environmental things, and it is fun…and obnoxious! 🙂  Enjoy our few glimpses of these messes from the past month!

E’s toys end up in all sorts of entertaining proximity to the dog bones…but this is hands down my favorite!!

We love playing with the pots and pans…usually with many more strewn about the floor!

We just got E a shopping cart and he loves to tote his baby doll around in it…and throw her to the ground a moment later!

Our babies aren’t really supposed to be in these but this whole episode was so cute…and left a mess! First he ripped the paper towels from the rack…and then found a good place for them!

And lastly, a sweet handprint from waving goodbye out a window.

I'm Jill, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Chicago and Central Illinois, and available world wide! I'm also a photography educator, wife to my favorite person on the planet, mama to 3 amazing kids and an energetic Aussie, and obsessed with statement jewelry and all desserts (especially fruit pies!). 

As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids.  I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!

Hello Friend!

Are you a Photographer?

Start HERE! 

Are you a mom/hobbyist?

Start HERE! 

You're in the right place!  As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business!  I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).

I'm so glad you are here!  Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!  I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
