“…It’s not really about messes at all, but the stories they tell. It’s about traces of childhood I see throughout my home on a daily basis. It’s about the love we share together. It’s about living and being…creating, making, learning and trying. This project leaves me a beautiful story each month of the reminders that Kids are here now…and the time, well, it’s all too fleeting, isn’t it? We all need to embrace these moments and just live them too; because they really are the best moments of life.”

This is our final month of posting this project. Every month, my sweet boy and I make more messes that are really the product of playing together, and experiencing new things together…this project definitely marks a year of major development for us! If you missed April’s circle, you can view it here. I am hopeful that as we move on to a different story to tell, I remember this one and continue to occasionally document the messes E (and his sister in 8 short weeks!) make. It has been so fun to capture them!
These first 2 images mark a big development for us that will help us move to a big boy bed when the baby comes…E is now ok with other animals/blankets/etc sleeping in his crib! For a year and a half, it was only him and his lovies…nothing else. Now, he throws blankets and stuffed animals in and produces a loud snore- his way of saying they are sleeping with him!
And I must end with his beloved vehicles!!

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!

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!).
