After a whirlwind weekend, I am excited to be back at my desk going catching up a little bit!! I don’t know how it happened, but last week our sweetest girl turned ONE! So we played crazy catch up and prep last week, and had her birthday party on Saturday and it was a lovely day! Blush pink, gold AND silver (love those mixed metals!), tutus, and little girly touches every where, I absolutely loved it! But much more so than the fun decorating, I just love watching my babies interact with those who love them most! Our boy was of course the life of the party, with little Ellie being a little more reserved- but she DID enjoy that present opening! And had MUCH more fun with the cake smash than her very clean older brother! I will probably do a full party post soon, but for today, here are just a few snippets!
Sunday brought the first simply catch up day of the last few weeks (and the last for a while!)- errands, movies, cuddling, and enjoying each other were the perfect recipe. On the back of my mind all day was that it was the last day of summer for my previous co-workers, who returned to school today, which has brought me highly mixed feelings- more thoughts on that soon as well! Short and sweet (and girly!) today, but some bits of my heart and some beautiful sessions coming to you later this week!

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!).
Ellie is adorable! Every Mama should have the joy of a little girl! Precious Blessing!
Thanks Penny!! 🙂 It is so fun to have her, and we adore our boy so much as well!
